What Gets Discovered

Resource Type Description MCP URL Pattern

UC Functions SQL UDFs as agent tools {host}/api/2.0/mcp/functions/{catalog}/{schema}

UC Tables Structured data for querying (via UC functions)

Vector Search Indexes RAG applications {host}/api/2.0/mcp/vector-search/{catalog}/{schema}

Genie Spaces Natural language data interface {host}/api/2.0/mcp/genie/{space_id}

External MCP Servers Via UC connections {host}/api/2.0/mcp/external/{connection_name}

Next Steps

After discovering tools:

Add MCP servers to your agent - See modify-agent skill for SDK-specific code examples
Grant permissions in databricks.yml
See add-tools skill for YAML snippets
Test locally with uv run start-app
