Google Data Agent Kit adds MCP access to Bigtable, BigQuery Graph and Spark

cloud.google.com by Arun Nair, Jeff Nelson 7 min read Editor score 7/10

The generally available kit gives coding agents MCP tools to inspect schemas, run queries, read job logs and manage Google Cloud data resources, with new support for Bigtable, BigQuery Graph and Spark. It shows how live environment context can reduce the manual work needed to make coding agents useful on data tasks.

What: - Data Agent Kit is a GA set of free MCP tools and Google-authored skills connecting coding agents to Google Cloud data products.
How: - It finds trusted tables through Knowledge Catalog and uses MCP tools to query BigQuery and AlloyDB under the user’s IAM permissions.
Why it matters: - Live schemas, logs, and resource access give agents environment context without requiring developers to paste it into chat.

A coding agent finds trusted tables, queries data services, and returns a combined answer to its workspace. Sketched from the article's own text.
