}Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. We show the names of the settings, never values.
Optional settings it also lists: DATABRICKS_CLIENT_ID, DATABRICKS_HTTP_PATH, DATABRICKS_SERVER_HOSTNAME, SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT, SNOWFLAKE_ROLE, SNOWFLAKE_USER.
We do not store launch arguments. If the server needs any, its own documentation names them.

Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
