Deepnote Data And Execution
Available Context
Use the Deepnote MCP server for the execution and context it currently exposes:
get_notebook for notebook blocks, input variables, last-run metadata, and integration references visible in blocks.list_integrations for workspace integration names and types.list_integration_project_usages, list_integration_notebook_usages, and list_integration_block_usages for direct integration usage mapping.create_run to start full-notebook execution, optionally with input values.get_run for run status, errors, completion time, and run snapshots. When snapshotDelivery is omitted, it returns a short-lived snapshotDownloadUrl when a snapshot is available; this is equivalent to snapshotDelivery: "downloadUrl". Request snapshotDelivery: "inline" only when you need snapshotContent in the tool response.get_me for the authenticated workspace, API key type, and caller access level when execution permissions or workspace identity matter.
Do not claim direct access to database schemas, table previews, file metadata, query previews, or environment configuration unless a current MCP tool explicitly exposes that data.
Execution Workflow
- Read the notebook context first with
get_notebook.
- Identify whether the user needs a fresh run or whether existing run metadata is enough.
- If the notebook has inputs and the user supplied values, map values to the exact input
name fields returned by get_notebook.
- Check whether execution may mutate data, call external services, trigger schedules, or consume significant compute.
- Use
create_run only for full-notebook execution by notebookId; the hosted MCP server does not currently expose single-block execution.
- If
create_run returns an MCP error, report that error and stop; do not call get_run unless a run ID was returned.
- Use
get_run to inspect status, errors, completion time, and snapshot availability before reporting results. For routine status checks, omit snapshotDelivery so the default download URL delivery is used; request snapshotDelivery: "inline" when you need to inspect notebook outputs, snapshot errors, or result details.
Before starting a run, inspect the notebook for cells that print environment variables, secrets, credentials, or entire configuration objects. If found, warn the user and get explicit confirmation before running. Also warn before running notebooks that start servers, send bulk requests, call external services, or mutate data.
Notebook Run Inputs
create_run accepts an optional inputs object. Keys must be notebook input names from get_notebook, not labels or block IDs. Values must match the input block type:
- Text, textarea, file, date, slider, and single-select inputs use strings.
- Checkbox inputs use booleans.
- Multi-select inputs use arrays of strings.
- Date-range inputs use a string or an array of exactly two strings.
- Slider values must be numeric strings.
If the user provides a label instead of a name, inspect get_notebook inputs and map it to the closest input name only when the match is unambiguous. Otherwise ask for clarification. Run input values apply only to the new run and do not update the notebook's saved defaults.
Run Snapshots
When snapshotDelivery is omitted, get_run returns snapshotDownloadUrl for available .snapshot.deepnote files and snapshotContent: null; this is equivalent to snapshotDelivery: "downloadUrl". The URL is short-lived and grants access to the run snapshot, so do not paste it into the final answer unless the user asks for a download link or file handoff.
Use snapshotDelivery: "inline" when the user asks you to inspect outputs, summarize results, diagnose a failed run from snapshot details, map visible references from the snapshot, or otherwise reason over the snapshot content. Inline snapshots can be large and sensitive, so summarize the relevant blocks, outputs, failures, or data shape instead of dumping raw content.
If the current MCP tool schema does not expose snapshotDelivery, use the fields returned by get_run as-is and do not invent snapshotContent or snapshotDownloadUrl.
Sensitive Outputs
When snapshot content, snapshot download URLs, or errors include sensitive, proprietary, personal, or production-like data, minimize exposure in the response. Summarize the result, shape, quality issues, aggregates, or failure mode instead of dumping raw records, presigned URLs, or long logs.
Environment Changes
The hosted Deepnote MCP server currently does not expose environment mutation tools. Do not claim to change package versions, environment images, hardware, integrations, credentials, secrets, scheduled runs, or shared app settings through MCP.
Reporting Results
For successful runs, include the executed notebook name or ID, run ID, status, any input overrides that are safe to mention, and the important result from inline snapshot content when you requested it. If you only have snapshotDownloadUrl, mention that a snapshot is available without exposing the URL by default. For failures, include concise error detail and the next fix to try. If a run fails before it starts, such as a workspace or parallel run limit, report the user-facing API error directly. Avoid pasting long logs unless the user asks for them.
Keep run reports brief and information-dense unless the user asks for detail. Prefer one compact run table plus the most important result or first actionable error. Do not paste long logs, raw snapshots, or full notebook outputs by default.
Prefer this run summary shape:
| Field | Value |
|---|
| Notebook | Notebook name |
| Run ID | run-id |
| Status | success, failed, pending, or running |
| Started | YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC |
| Completed | YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC or Still running |
| Inputs | safe input summary or None |
| Result | short result summary |
For failed or stuck runs, use a debugging report:
| Check | Finding |
|---|
| Run state | failed, pending, or running for N minutes |
| First actionable error | short error text |
| Likely cause | missing input, missing file, server not listening, dependency failure, or unknown from MCP |
| Safe next step | inspect notebook, rerun with inputs, start serving notebook, or manual Deepnote action needed |
When inspecting a large run snapshot, request inline delivery only when necessary, then summarize block counts, failed blocks, final outputs, and the first actionable error instead of pasting the snapshot.
