Why connect Snowflake to Claude?
Your data team already modeled revenue, margin and customers in Snowflake, but most marketers still wait in a queue for each query. Through Lemonado, Claude reads those models directly, writes the SQL itself, shows it to you and lays the result out in an artifact you can share without a dashboard ticket.
All your Snowflake data
Tables and views your role can read, ready to ask about.
Always today's numbers
Column names, types and descriptions, synced from Snowflake automatically, so answers use today's numbers.
Connect all your tools
Questions like "What does a paying customer cost?" use Snowflake and BigQuery, GA4 at once.

Ask Claude about Snowflake

Good to know
- Custom connectors work on Claude Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. Free accounts can add one.
- On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web. Members then connect their own accounts.
- Remote connectors belong to your Claude account, so the same connection shows up in Claude Desktop and Cowork. Requests come from Anthropic's cloud, not your computer.
