databricks-langchain SDK Overview

SDK Location: https://github.com/databricks/databricks-ai-bridge/tree/main/integrations/langchain

Before making any changes, ensure that the APIs actually exist in the SDK. If something is missing from the documentation here, look in the venv's site-packages directory for the databricks_langchain package. If it's not installed, run uv sync to create the.venv and install the package.

ChatDatabricks - LLM Chat Interface

Connects to Databricks Model Serving endpoints for LLM inference.

from databricks_langchain import ChatDatabricks

llm = ChatDatabricks(
    endpoint="databricks-claude-3-7-sonnet",  # or databricks-meta-llama-3-1-70b-instruct
    temperature=0,
    max_tokens=500,
)

# For Responses API agents:
llm = ChatDatabricks(endpoint="my-agent-endpoint", use_responses_api=True)

Available models (check workspace for current list):

• databricks-claude-3-7-sonnet
• databricks-claude-3-5-sonnet
• databricks-meta-llama-3-3-70b-instruct

Note: Some workspaces require granting the app access to the serving endpoint in databricks.yml. See the add-tools skill and examples/serving-endpoint.yaml.

DatabricksEmbeddings - Generate Embeddings

Query Databricks embedding model endpoints.

from databricks_langchain import DatabricksEmbeddings

embeddings = DatabricksEmbeddings(endpoint="databricks-bge-large-en")
vector = embeddings.embed_query("The meaning of life is 42")
vectors = embeddings.embed_documents(["doc1", "doc2"])

DatabricksVectorSearch - Vector Store

Connect to Databricks Vector Search indexes for similarity search.

from databricks_langchain import DatabricksVectorSearch

# Delta-sync index with Databricks-managed embeddings
vs = DatabricksVectorSearch(index_name="catalog.schema.index_name")

# Direct-access or self-managed embeddings
vs = DatabricksVectorSearch(
    index_name="catalog.schema.index_name",
    embedding=embeddings,
    text_column="content",
)

docs = vs.similarity_search("query", k=5)

MCP Client - Tool Integration

Connect to MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to get tools for your agent.

Basic MCP Server (manual URL):

from databricks_langchain import DatabricksMCPServer, DatabricksMultiServerMCPClient

client = DatabricksMultiServerMCPClient([
    DatabricksMCPServer(
        name="system-ai",
        url=f"{host}/api/2.0/mcp/functions/system/ai",
    )
])
tools = await client.get_tools()

From UC Function (convenience helper):

Creates MCP server for Unity Catalog functions. If function_name is omitted, exposes all functions in the schema.

server = DatabricksMCPServer.from_uc_function(
    catalog="main",
    schema="tools",
    function_name="send_email",  # Optional - omit for all functions in schema
    name="email-server",
    timeout=30.0,
    handle_tool_error=True,
)

From Vector Search (convenience helper):

Creates MCP server for Vector Search indexes. If index_name is omitted, exposes all indexes in the schema.

server = DatabricksMCPServer.from_vector_search(
    catalog="main",
    schema="embeddings",
    index_name="product_docs",  # Optional - omit for all indexes in schema
    name="docs-search",
    timeout=30.0,
)

From Genie Space:

Create MCP server from Genie Space. Get the genie space ID from the URL.

Example: https://workspace.cloud.databricks.com/genie/rooms/01f0515f6739169283ef2c39b7329700?o=123 means the genie space ID is 01f0515f6739169283ef2c39b7329700

DatabricksMCPServer(
    name="genie",
    url=f"{host_name}/api/2.0/mcp/genie/01f0515f6739169283ef2c39b7329700",
)

Non-Databricks MCP Server:

from databricks_langchain import MCPServer

server = MCPServer(
    name="external-server",
    url="https://other-server.com/mcp",
    headers={"X-API-Key": "secret"},
    timeout=15.0,
)

After adding MCP servers: Grant permissions in databricks.yml (see add-tools skill)

Running the Agent

from langchain.agents import create_agent

# Create agent - ONLY accepts tools and model, NO prompt/instructions parameter
agent = create_agent(tools=tools, model=llm)

# Non-streaming
messages = {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hi"}]}
result = await agent.ainvoke(messages)

# Streaming
async for event in agent.astream(input=messages, stream_mode=["updates", "messages"]):
    # Process stream events
    pass

Converting to Responses API format: Use process_agent_astream_events() from agent_server/utils.py:

from agent_server.utils import process_agent_astream_events

async for event in process_agent_astream_events(
    agent.astream(input=messages, stream_mode=["updates", "messages"])
):
    yield event  # Yields ResponsesAgentStreamEvent objects

Customizing Agent Behavior (System Instructions)

IMPORTANT: create_agent() does NOT accept prompt, instructions, or system_message parameters. Attempting to pass these will cause a runtime error.

In LangGraph, agent behavior is customized by prepending a system message to the conversation messages.

Correct pattern in agent.py:

1. Define instructions as a constant:

AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS = """You are a helpful data analyst assistant.

You have access to:
- Company sales data via Genie
- Product documentation via vector search

Always cite your sources when answering questions."""

1. Prepend to messages in the streaming() function:

@stream()
async def streaming(request: ResponsesAgentRequest) -> AsyncGenerator[ResponsesAgentStreamEvent, None]:
    agent = await init_agent()
    # Prepend system instructions to user messages
    user_messages = to_chat_completions_input([i.model_dump() for i in request.input])
    messages = {"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS}] + user_messages}

    async for event in process_agent_astream_events(
        agent.astream(input=messages, stream_mode=["updates", "messages"])
    ):
        yield event

Common mistake to avoid:

# WRONG - will cause "unexpected keyword argument" error
agent = create_agent(tools=tools, model=llm, prompt=AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS)

# CORRECT - add instructions via messages
messages = {"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS}] + user_messages}

For advanced customization (routing, state management, custom graphs), refer to the LangGraph documentation.

External Connection Tools

Connect to external services via Unity Catalog HTTP connections:

• Slack - Post messages to channels
• Google Calendar - Calendar operations
• Microsoft Graph API - Office 365 services
• Azure AI Search - Search functionality
• Any HTTP API - Use http_request from databricks-sdk

Example: Create UC function wrapping HTTP request for Slack, then expose via MCP.
