Our reading of BigQuery, from the data

BigQuery is a database MCP server.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio.

Install BigQuery MCP server

claude mcp add mcp-bigquery-server -- npx -y mcp-bigquery-server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-bigquery-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-bigquery-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-bigquery-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-bigquery-server"
      ]
    }
  }
