Connect Bigtable to VS Code

Enable VS Code to access your Bigtable data through secure, governed MCP servers—no manual queries or engineering bottlenecks

How it works

1. Connect your database

Provide your Bigtable connection details. We'll securely connect to your data source.

2. Define your MCP tools

Configure the tools and data available to your AI agents.

3. Deploy your MCP server

We convert your config into a production-ready MCP server with enterprise governance.

How to connect

Connect your Bigtable database

  • GCP project ID: Your Google Cloud project containing Bigtable instances
  • Bigtable instance: Your Bigtable instance identifier
  • Configure data access: Define which tables and column families are available to AI agents
  • Automatic deployment: We deploy your MCP server with enterprise governance—no manual setup required

Link your PostgreSQL MCP to VS Code

  • 1.Open VS Code and run the MCP: Add Server command
  • 2.Select 'Global' to configure across all workspaces
  • 3.Add your MintMCP Gateway server URL (HTTP/SSE transport)
  • 4.Configure authentication headers with your credentials
  • 5.Access PostgreSQL data through GitHub Copilot Chat

Other supported AI clients

One-time setup connects Bigtable to all your AI tools

What you get

Faster deployment

Define your Bigtable connection once, then add more MCP tools as needed through simple config updates. No code required.

Rapid iteration

Build team or use-case specific tools rapidly by adding new queries and parameters to your config. Deploy updates in minutes, not days.

Enterprise governance

All database access goes through MintMCP Gateway with full observability, authentication, rate limiting, and audit trails.

Why MintMCP gateway

Centralized governance

Unified authentication, audit logging, and rate control for all database MCP connections.

One-click deployment

Instantly enable database MCP for AI teams via MintMCP's standardized gateway without manual server setup.

OAuth + SSO enforcement

Automatic enterprise authentication wrapping for database MCP endpoints.

Host stdio servers on MintMCP instead of running locally

Containerized servers become accessible to clients like ChatGPT without local installations. Better risk management and security posture without requiring users to run servers on their machines.

Observability and control

Real-time dashboards for monitoring usage, detecting anomalies, and maintaining SLA compliance.

Enterprise hardening

High availability, security, and compliance alignment transform MCP from developer utility to production-grade infrastructure.

Supports shared and per-user auth

Flexibility to configure service accounts at the admin level or enable individual OAuth flows. Secrets remain protected while users gain access, with centralized revocation capabilities.

Granular tool access control

Configure tool access by role. For example, enable read-only operations and exclude write tools like create and delete.

Use cases

IoT monitoring and anomaly detection

Enable engineers to investigate device behavior and sensor anomalies by asking questions in natural language—AI agents query millions of time-series data points from IoT devices without learning Bigtable's column-family structure.

Clickstream analysis for personalization

Let product teams analyze user journeys and engagement patterns through conversational queries—AI agents access billions of clickstream events to identify opportunities for personalization without manual data exploration.

Financial time-series investigation

Enable analysts to investigate transaction patterns, price movements, and trading anomalies through natural language—AI agents query high-volume financial time-series data without complex NoSQL queries.

FAQs

Yes. MintMCP Gateway is SOC 2 compliant and uses OAuth-based authentication for all database MCP interactions.
