Snowflake Cube Server: Cross-Cloud Mirroring & Zero Downtime Security

What is Snowflake Cube Server: Cross-Cloud Mirroring & Zero Downtime Security?

Snowflake Cube Server is a cloud-agnostic data orchestration solution designed to keep your semantic layers synced across multiple cloud providers while maintaining ironclad uptime guarantees. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife for distributed data stacks – it doesn’t just mirror datasets, it intelligently enforces security policies during live migrations using patent-pending synchronization algorithms.

How to Use Snowflake Cube Server: Cross-Cloud Mirroring & Zero Downtime Security?

Start by configuring the Cube REST API endpoints in your MCP client. Use the read_data tool to fetch YAML-formatted query results, then reference the returned data_id to pull JSON-formatted outputs from the data://{data_id} resource. For schema exploration, the describe_data tool provides real-time metadata snapshots that auto-update during cross-cloud transitions.

MCP Server for Interacting with Cube Semantic Layers

Resources

context://data_description

Contains a description of the data available in the Cube deployment. This is an application controlled version of the describe_data tool.

data://{data_id}

Contains the data returned by a read_data call in JSON format. This resource is meant for MCP clients that wish to format or otherwise process the output of tool calls. See read_data for more.

Tools

read_data

Accepts a query to the Cube REST API and returns the data in YAML along with a unique identifier for the data returned. This identifier can be used to a retrieve a JSON representation of the data from the resource data://{data_id}. See data://{data_id} for more.

describe_data

Describes the data available in the Cube deployment. This is an agentic version of the context://data_description resource.
