Overview
Cloud Bigtable is Google Cloud's low-latency, petabyte-scale wide-column NoSQL database for large analytical and operational workloads.
Ferentin integration
Ferentin's Google Bigtable MCP server connects agents through OAuth2 + Cloud IAM to the Bigtable Admin control plane, with tools for instance and table lifecycle management. It does not expose row-level data operations; time-series metrics come from the separate Database Insights MCP server. Access is scoped by the signing-in identity's IAM grants (roles/bigtable.admin + roles/mcp.toolUser).
