Databricks MCP connector for Manus

Ask Databricks Genie, run SQL and search your indexes in one chat

Say “What was net revenue by region last quarter, and which product line held us back?” Manus asks Genie in your Databricks workspace, gets the answer and the tables Genie used, and turns them into a table, a chart and a short summary. It can also run SQL you wrote on a SQL warehouse, find passages in contracts, tickets or docs in an AI Search index, and call functions your team registered in Unity Catalog. What it can see and run follows your Unity Catalog permissions.

What was net revenue by region last quarter, and which product line held us back?

From Genie

Net revenue was $48.2M, up 2% on the quarter before. EMEA was the only region that shrank, down 6%, mostly because Hardware fell.

Databricks natural language query with Genie, turned into a report

Ask a business question in your own words. Genie answers from the data your team set up in Databricks Genie spaces, and Manus lays the answer out as a table, a chart and a short summary you can send.

Break down EMEA net revenue last quarter by product line, against the quarter before.

From Genie

EMEA is the only region that shrank. Hardware drove the drop, down 18% on the quarter before, while Software and Services grew.

Check the numbers on your Databricks SQL warehouse

Paste SQL you wrote, or go from Databricks natural language to SQL: describe what you need, and Manus writes the query. Ask to see it first if you want to check it before it runs. The query runs on a Databricks SQL warehouse you’re allowed to use, and Manus compares the result with what Genie said.

SELECT r.region,  SUM(o.net_revenue) AS net_revenueFROM main.sales.orders oJOIN main.sales.regions r USING (region_id)WHERE o.quarter = '2026-Q3'GROUP BY r.regionORDER BY net_revenue DESC;

All four regions match what Genie said, so the drop in EMEA is in the data, not in how the question was read.

Search a Databricks AI Search index for the exact passage

Point Manus at an index your team built on contracts, tickets or docs. AI Search returns the closest passages with their source and a relevance score, and Manus answers from them, with each point numbered by its source.

AI Searchmain.legal.contracts_indexIllustration
early termination fee
  1. 1msa-2025-014.pdfp. 70.91

    Either party may end this agreement early with 60 days’ written notice. If the customer ends it in the first year, an early termination fee of two months’ fees applies.

  2. 2order-form-2026-031.pdfp. 20.86

    The early termination fee is waived if the provider misses the service levels in Schedule B for two months in a row.

  3. 3renewal-terms-v4.pdfp. 10.78

    Each renewal runs for 12 months. Notice to end a renewal must arrive at least 30 days before the renewal date.

Answer with sourcesIllustration

What does it cost a customer to end a contract early?

  • 1The main agreement can end early with 60 days’ notice. In the first year, the customer pays a fee of two months’ fees.
  • 2That fee is waived if we miss the service levels two months in a row.
  • 3To stop a renewal, notice must arrive at least 30 days before the renewal date.

Each point carries the number of the passage it came from, so you can open that file and read the full clause.

Call Databricks Unity Catalog functions your team registered

Your team can register Python or SQL functions in Unity Catalog, such as a customer lookup, as Databricks AI tools. Databricks AI agents and Manus can call them with the values you give, and Manus turns what comes back into an answer.

Turn Databricks answers into reports, pages and tasks

Your Databricks chat with your data doesn’t have to end in the chat. Send a weekly metrics report, keep the findings in a project, or write them to Notion and Linear.

A weekly metrics report from Databricks

Ask Genie the same few questions every Monday and get a one-page report with what changed since last week.

Set up automations

Keep the findings where the team works

Save the results and the questions behind them in a project, or turn them into a simple internal web page with a chart and a table.

See how projects work

Write the summary into Notion

Put the answer, the table and the next steps on a Notion page your team already reads.

Use Notion with Manus

Open Linear issues for numbers to follow up

When a number needs a closer look, turn it into a Linear issue that includes the query and the result.

Connect the Databricks MCP server to Manus

The Databricks MCP connector is already in Manus Connectors. Set it up once, and any task can ask Genie, run SQL, search indexes and call functions that your Unity Catalog permissions allow.

  1. Open Connectors

    In Manus, open Connectors, choose Databricks and select Connect.

  2. Fill in the connection details

    Databricks asks for a few extra details before it connects. Your Databricks admin can tell you what to enter, and in some workspaces has to turn on managed MCP servers first.

  3. Ask in any task

    Mention Databricks and say what you need: a question for Genie, a query, an index or a function. Ask Manus to show you any SQL before it runs.

DatabricksQuery lakehouse data and AI tools with Databricks

Connect to your Databricks workspace to ask natural-language data questions with Genie, search AI Search indexes, run SQL, and call Unity Catalog functions, all governed by Unity Catalog permissions.

This connector requires additional configuration

Questions about Databricks AI and MCP

How do I connect Databricks to Manus?

Open Connectors in Manus, choose Databricks and select Connect. Databricks asks for a few extra details before it connects, and your Databricks admin can tell you what to enter. In some workspaces, an admin also has to turn on managed MCP servers in the Databricks settings first. Once connected, mention Databricks in any task, for example “Ask Genie in Databricks for last month’s revenue by region.”

Can Manus see Databricks data I don’t have access to?

No. Databricks checks your Unity Catalog permissions on every request. Manus can only query the tables, use the SQL warehouses, search the indexes and call the functions your account is allowed to use, and row filters and column masks your team set up still apply.

Will Manus change my Databricks tables?

Not unless you ask. Asking Genie only reads data. A SQL statement can change data if your permissions allow it, so ask Manus to show you the SQL first, and it waits for your OK before running it. Your Databricks admin decides what your account can change through Unity Catalog permissions.

Does it add to our Databricks bill?

It can. Asking Genie, running SQL, searching an index and calling a function use compute in your Databricks account, and Databricks bills each at its usual prices. The Manus task itself uses your Manus credits as usual.

How accurate are Databricks Genie answers?

Genie answers from the tables, instructions and examples your team set up in Databricks Genie spaces, so a well set up space gives better answers. Ask Manus to list the sources Genie used, or check a key number with your own SQL on a SQL warehouse.

Can Manus send a weekly metrics report from Databricks?

Yes. Ask once and say when to run it, for example every Monday at 9 AM. Manus runs it as an automation, asks Genie the same questions each week and sends you a one-page report with what changed.

Can Manus search a Databricks vector search index?

Yes. Databricks AI Search was called Vector Search before, so the same indexes work. Manus can search indexes that use Databricks managed embeddings and that you’re allowed to query. Tell it the index name, for example main.legal.contracts_index.

Databricks AI Assistant vs Genie: where does Manus fit?

Databricks Assistant and Genie are Databricks’s own features, which you use inside Databricks. Manus connects to your workspace to ask Genie, run SQL and search indexes, then carries the results into a report, a spreadsheet or a web page, together with the work in your other tools.

Is this like the Databricks MCP for Claude?

Much the same. Databricks explains how to connect its MCP servers to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI tools, and Databricks in Manus is an MCP connector too. Connect it once in Manus Connectors, and any task can use it with your other connected apps, such as Notion or Linear.

Can I disconnect Databricks later?

Yes. Open Connectors in Manus, choose Databricks and select Disconnect.
