# Snowflake (Cortex AI, as GTM/RevOps warehouse layer) documentation

Research date: 2026-09-07

Documentation coverage: partial.

Reference index, not a mirror of complete vendor documentation. Retrieved pages do not prove the MCP works.

## What it does

Cloud data warehouse that acts as the central store where GTM data (CRM, product usage, marketing, support) gets modeled and joined; increasingly the platform other reverse-ETL tools (Hightouch, Fivetran Activations) and app tools (Retool, Superblocks) sit on top of.

## Access and connection

MCP support: official

Access requirements: free - a 30-day self-serve trial requires no payment info; Cortex AI functions are capped at roughly 10 credits/day on trial without a payment method attached.

Authentication: Snowflake OAuth 2.0 by default, or External OAuth (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID); hardcoded PATs/tokens are explicitly discouraged. Exposes Cortex Agent, Cortex Analyst (semantic views only), Cortex Search, read-only SQL execution, and custom UDF/stored-procedure tools, capped at 50 tools per server.

These details come from catalog research. Check vendor sources for current setup instructions; this is not proof of a tested connection.
