before you install - you'll need

Set PINOT_TABLE_FILTER_FILE, OAUTH_ENABLED, OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, OAUTH_BASE_URL, OAUTH_AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT, OAUTH_TOKEN_ENDPOINT, OAUTH_JWKS_URI, OAUTH_ISSUER before connecting. OAUTH_AUDIENCE, OAUTH_EXTRA_AUTH_PARAMS are optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add startreedata-mcp-pinot -- uvx mcp-pinot-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "startreedata-mcp-pinot": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-pinot-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
