Snowflake Cortex
Operate your BI layer agentically by pairing Qyra with Snowflake's Cortex Code agent
Cortex Code is Snowflake's coding agent, with Snowflake-native tools and RBAC governance built in. Pair it with Qyra and you can operate your BI layer agentically.
For broader guidance on using AI coding agents with Qyra, see Editing dashboards with agents.
Integration options
There are three ways to integrate Cortex with Qyra:
| Method | Best for | Auth required | Where it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skills | Operating Qyra as an expert: building your semantic layer, developing charts and dashboards, shipping dashboards as code, and vibe coding dashboards | None | Locally (via the Qyra CLI) |
| Qyra MCP | Searching your semantic layer and executing queries | Qyra login | Locally and in Snowsight Cortex |
| Docs MCP | Looking up anything in the Qyra docs | None (public) | Anywhere |
You can use any combination of these together.
Skills
Skills are the best way to get Cortex operating Qyra as an expert. They teach the agent how to:
- Build your semantic layer
- Develop charts and dashboards
- Ship dashboards as code
- Vibe code dashboards
Skills are powered by the Qyra CLI.
Install skills for Cortex in your project:
qyra install-skills --agent cortexOr install them globally so they're available across all your projects:
qyra install-skills --agent cortex --globalFor more details, see the Agent skills guide.
Qyra MCP
The Qyra MCP searches your semantic layer and executes queries, and it works in Snowsight Cortex as well as locally. Add it to Cortex with your instance's MCP URL, replacing <yourapp> with your Qyra instance name (commonly app or eu1, see Find your instance name):
cortex mcp add qyra https://<yourapp>.qyraflow.com/api/v1/mcpDocs MCP
The Docs MCP is public and needs no login — it lets Cortex look up anything in the Qyra documentation:
cortex mcp add qyra-docs https://docs.qyraflow.com/mcp
