Setup
Setup guide
- 11. Open your Switchy workspace and navigate to Settings > Integrations > Add MCP Server. 2. Select Bigdata.com MCP from the list and choose API Key as the authentication method. 3. Log into your Bigdata.com account separately and generate a new API key from the developer or account settings section. 4. Copy the API key and paste it into the Switchy connection dialog, then click Connect. 5. Switchy will verify the key and confirm the connection status. 6. Open any Project and type '@Bigdata.com' followed by a test request like 'list available datasets' to confirm the integration responds. 7. If the test fails, double-check the API key has read permissions for the resources your team needs to access.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Bigdata.com MCP are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

How Switchy teams use it
Starter prompts
List Available Datasets
@Bigdata.com list all datasets I have access to and include a brief description of each one.
Query Recent Metrics
@Bigdata.com retrieve the most recent metrics for our primary product usage dataset covering the last 30 days.
Summarize Dataset Schema
@Bigdata.com show me the schema and column definitions for the customer transactions dataset.
Fetch Filtered Records
@Bigdata.com pull records from the orders dataset where status is 'pending' and created_date is within the last week.
Export Data Summary
@Bigdata.com create a summary of the user engagement dataset including total records, date range, and key metrics.
Example outputs
Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.
@Bigdata.com pull the top 10 customer segments by revenue for Q4 2024 and show their average order value
Based on your Q4 2024 data, the top segment is Enterprise SaaS customers ($2.3M revenue, $18,400 avg order). Second is Mid-Market Manufacturing ($1.8M, $12,100 avg order), followed by Healthcare SMB ($1.4M, $8,900 avg order). The remaining seven segments range from $900K to $1.2M in revenue. Enterprise segments show 40% higher order values than SMB cohorts. This example assumes the MCP returned aggregated metrics; actual output depends on your dataset schema and query permissions.
This read-heavy example shows how the MCP surfaces analytical insights from large datasets. Requires API key with read access to the relevant data warehouse or analytics tables. Response time varies with dataset size—queries spanning millions of rows may take 10-30 seconds.
@Bigdata.com create a new audience segment called 'High-Intent Mobile Users' filtering for users with 3+ sessions in the last 7 days on iOS or Android
Created segment 'High-Intent Mobile Users' with 14,287 users matching your criteria (3+ sessions, last 7 days, mobile platforms). Segment ID is `seg_9x4k2p`. The segment is now available for targeting in your campaigns and will refresh daily at 02:00 UTC. Note this is an illustrative confirmation—actual segment size and refresh behavior depend on your account's data pipeline configuration and the MCP's segmentation engine.
This write example demonstrates audience creation, a common workflow for marketing and analytics teams. Requires API key with write permissions to segment definitions. Be aware that segment creation may trigger downstream syncs to ad platforms or CRM systems, depending on your integration settings.
@Bigdata.com compare conversion rates across our three main landing pages for the past 30 days and suggest which one to prioritize for paid traffic
Landing page A converted at 4.2% (1,890 conversions from 45,000 visits), page B at 3.1% (780 from 25,000), and page C at 2.8% (560 from 20,000). Page A shows the strongest performance and handles higher volume without degradation. I recommend prioritizing page A for paid traffic—it converts 35% better than B and maintains performance under load. Consider A/B testing page B's headline against A's to close the gap. This synthesis combines MCP data with conversion optimization reasoning.
This example pairs the MCP's analytics retrieval with the AI's strategic reasoning. The recommendation depends on statistical significance—ensure your dataset includes enough conversions (typically 100+ per variant) for reliable conclusions. Requires read access to conversion tracking data.
Use-case deep-dives
When you need a data MCP but this one isn't documented yet
A 3-person startup building their first analytics pipeline hits an error in their data transformation layer. They search for an MCP to query logs or inspect schema changes. Bigdata.com MCP shows up in the directory, but with zero tools documented, there's no way to know if it handles log queries, schema inspection, or something else entirely. The API key auth suggests it connects to a vendor service, but without tool names or scopes, you're guessing. If you already use Bigdata.com's platform and know their API surface, this might work. Otherwise, skip it until the tool list populates. For early-stage teams, an undocumented MCP is a time sink you can't afford.
Why missing tool metadata blocks compliance use-cases
A 6-person finance team runs monthly data audits: they pull transaction logs, compare schema versions, and export summaries for their auditor. They want an MCP to automate the pull step in Switchy. Bigdata.com MCP requires an API key, which implies read access to some backend, but the zero-tool count means they can't verify it supports transaction log retrieval or schema diffing. Compliance workflows demand certainty—you can't deploy an integration that might or might not have the right scope. If Bigdata.com updates the directory entry with tool names like 'fetch_transaction_logs' or 'compare_schemas', this becomes viable. Until then, it's a non-starter for regulated teams.
When support teams need fast answers from a data platform
A 10-person support team fields tickets about customer usage patterns. They want an MCP in Switchy to query Bigdata.com's platform mid-conversation—'show me this account's last 30 days of activity'—without leaving the chat. API key auth is the right fit for this: one shared credential, no OAuth dance per agent. But with no tools listed, the team can't tell if the MCP supports account lookups, usage aggregation, or any query at all. If you're already a Bigdata.com customer and their docs describe an API that matches your lookup needs, test this MCP in a sandbox workspace. If you're evaluating cold, wait for the directory to show actual tool names before committing setup time.
Frequently asked
What does the Bigdata.com MCP do in Switchy?
The Bigdata.com MCP connects your Switchy workspace to Bigdata.com's data platform, letting AI assistants query and retrieve information from your datasets without leaving the conversation. Your team can ask questions about stored data and get answers inline, rather than switching to the Bigdata.com dashboard or writing custom queries manually.
What credentials do I need to connect Bigdata.com MCP?
You need an API key from your Bigdata.com account. Generate this in your Bigdata.com settings under API access or developer tools. The key authenticates Switchy to read from your datasets on your behalf. You don't need admin privileges unless your Bigdata.com workspace restricts API key creation to admins.
Can the Bigdata.com MCP write data or modify my datasets?
That depends on the permissions your API key has in Bigdata.com. Most read-only keys let the MCP query and retrieve data but not modify it. If your key has write permissions, the MCP could potentially update records, but Switchy defaults to read operations unless you explicitly instruct otherwise. Check your Bigdata.com key scope before connecting.
How is this different from querying Bigdata.com directly?
Using the MCP means your team asks questions in natural language inside Switchy, and the AI translates those into Bigdata.com queries automatically. Going direct to Bigdata.com requires you to write queries yourself or navigate their UI. The MCP is faster for ad-hoc questions during team conversations; direct access is better for building dashboards or scheduled reports.
Who on my team should set up the Bigdata.com connection?
Whoever has access to generate API keys in your Bigdata.com account. Usually that's a data engineer, admin, or team lead. Once connected, anyone in your Switchy workspace can ask the AI to pull Bigdata.com data, but the API key's permissions control what data they can actually see.
