Starburst

aid: starburst
name: Starburst
description: Starburst is an enterprise data analytics and intelligence platform built on Trino, the open-source distributed
  SQL query engine. It lets organizations access and query data across disparate systems through a unified context layer —
  federated analytics with no pipelines or data movement required. Its products include Starburst Galaxy (a fully managed
  cloud service on AWS, GCP, and Azure), Starburst Enterprise (self-managed for hybrid and on-premises), Icehouse (Apache
  Iceberg plus Trino for the lakehouse), and AIDA, a conversational AI data assistant. Starburst Galaxy exposes a public REST
  API secured with OAuth2 client credentials for managing clusters, catalogs, users, roles, privileges, access policies, data
  products, and SQL jobs.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
