What people ask Google BigQuery
Each one becomes a query against Google BigQuery, run read-only, with the SQL shown beside the chart so anyone who reads SQL can check it. Anything worth keeping goes on a dashboard that refreshes on its own.

02From your assistant
Ask Google BigQuery from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor
Dataki runs a hosted MCP server. Add it to your assistant once and it can read your Google BigQuery schema and run read-only queries through Dataki. The assistant gets the rows back; the Google BigQuery credentials stay encrypted in Dataki and never reach the model.
Setup for your assistant:
From the analytics dataset, chart revenue by channel for the last four quarters and save it to a dashboard.
- list_sources · finds BigQuery · analytics
- get_data_context · reads the tables and what the columns mean
- query · runs the SQL read-only, returns the rows
- render_ui · draws the chart from those rows, in the chat

Using Dataki with Google BigQuery
- Can I query Google BigQuery in plain English instead of writing SQL?
- Yes. Dataki reads your Google BigQuery schema, turns a plain-English question into a query, runs it on Google BigQuery and returns a chart. The query is shown with every result, so you can check or edit it.
- Is there a hosted Google BigQuery MCP server?
- Yes, Dataki. Its remote MCP server reaches Google BigQuery through a read-only connection you set up once in Dataki: nothing to install, and no connection string in your assistant's config. Assistants can list sources, read the schema and what it means, run read-only SQL, draw charts in the conversation and save dashboards. Every query is logged with the key that ran it.
- How do I build a dashboard from Google BigQuery data without an ETL pipeline?
- Connect Google BigQuery to Dataki with a read-only connection, ask your question and save the answer as a dashboard widget. Dataki queries Google BigQuery live, so there is no pipeline to build, no warehouse to sync and no copy of your data to maintain.
- Can Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor query my Google BigQuery data?
- Yes, through Dataki's hosted MCP server at https://dataki.ai/api/mcp. Connect Google BigQuery to Dataki, add that URL as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT (or in Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code with a Dataki key), and your assistant can read the schema and run read-only queries. It works with the results, while your credentials stay encrypted in Dataki and never reach the model.
