Genie One MCP server

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

Databricks managed MCP server 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 renders Genie's progress, visualizations, and Ontology citations 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. 🔗
• Its URL, /api/2.0/mcp/genie, is the prefix of the per-agent Genie server's own address, and it answers across the whole workspace - so the docs stop to point you at the Genie Agent MCP server when you want one curated agent instead. 🔗

⚠ Limitations: Requires the Managed MCP Servers workspace preview and on-behalf-of user authentication, since service principals are not supported. Query results come back truncated to protect the model context window, so an agent needs genie_get_query_result for the full set, and it must wait for one poll call to finish before polling again. 🔗
