}Using FastMCP Client
from fastmcp import Client
async def main():
async with Client("python -m src.main") as client:
# List databases
databases = await client.call_tool("list_databases")
print("Databases:", databases)
# Natural language to SQL
result = await client.call_tool("natural_language_to_sql", {
"question": "Show me the top 10 customers by revenue",
"database": "SALES_DB",
"schema": "PUBLIC"
})
print("Generated SQL:", result)Example Usage
1. Natural Language Query
# Ask a question in natural language
question = "What are the top 5 products by sales volume last month?"
sql = await client.call_tool("natural_language_to_sql", {
"question": question,
"database": "SALES_DB",
"schema": "PUBLIC"
})
print(f"Generated SQL: {sql}")2. Execute and Analyze
# Execute a query and get AI analysis
analysis = await client.call_tool("analyze_query_results", {
"query": "SELECT product_name, SUM(quantity) as total_sales FROM sales GROUP BY product_name ORDER BY total_sales DESC LIMIT 10",
"results_limit": 100,
"analysis_type": "summary"
})
print(f"Analysis: {analysis}")3. Table Insights
# Get AI-powered insights about a table
insights = await client.call_tool("generate_table_insights", {
"table_name": "SALES_DB.PUBLIC.CUSTOMERS",
"sample_limit": 50
})
print(f"Table insights: {insights}")4. Query Optimization
# Get optimization suggestions
optimizations = await client.call_tool("suggest_query_optimizations", {
"query": "SELECT * FROM large_table WHERE date_column > '2023-01-01'"
})
print(f"Optimization suggestions: {optimizations}")Architecture

Adding New Tools
1. Define your tool function in `src/main.py`:
@mcp.tool()
async def my_new_tool(param: str, ctx: Context) -> str:
"""Description of what the tool does"""
await ctx.info(f"Processing: {param}")
# Your logic here
return "result"2. Add appropriate error handling and logging
3. Test with FastMCP dev mode: `fastmcp dev src/main.py`
Adding New Resources
@mcp.resource("snowflake://my-resource/{param}")
async def my_resource(param: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
"""Resource description"""
# Your logic here
return {"data": "value"}Troubleshooting
