Genie One MCP server

Genie One MCP server is a Databricks ai / bi capability, introduced May 2026.

Databricks-provided MCP Service in Unity Gateway that exposes Genie as a conversational tool, so any MCP client can ask a natural-language question of workspace data and get an answer grounded in Genie Ontology with deep links back to the cited sources.

• It can answer with more than text - on clients that support MCP Apps it returns an interactive View that shows Genie's progress, visualizations, and final answer inside the client. 🔗
• Because a whole agent runs behind the question, answers are asynchronous: the client calls genie_ask, then keeps polling genie_poll_response until Genie has finished thinking. 🔗
• It moved house on its way to GA - the Beta lived at /api/2.0/mcp/genie, the GA version is the MCP Service system.ai.genie_one_mcp, and the old address is deprecated and set to go dark on October 31, 2026. 🔗

⚠ Limitations: Query results come back truncated to protect the model context window, so an agent needs genie_get_query_result for the full set, and very large results are still capped. The Beta endpoint /api/2.0/mcp/genie is deprecated and will be sunset on October 31, 2026. 🔗
