    Genie One MCP Beta endpoint (/api/2.0/mcp/genie) APIplatform Agents Agent tools as Unity Catalog functions Model Context Protocol on Databricks Coding agents on Databricks, and how to keep them safe

    The Beta MCP endpoint for Genie One is deprecated. Genie One is now the MCP Service system.ai.genie_one_mcp, reached through Unity Gateway and asking for the ai-gateway OAuth scope instead of genie.

    Point clients at system.ai.genie_one_mcp and change the scope to ai-gateway. The per-space Genie Agent server at /api/2.0/mcp/genie/{genie_space_id} is a different endpoint and is not affected.

    The Supervisor API APIplatform Agents

    The Beta API for supervisor agents reaches end of life and stops being available.

    Move to a custom agent deployed on Databricks Apps, which is the documented path.

Dates come from the Databricks documentation and are re-checked by the agent. A runtime version is supported for roughly six months, and a long-term support version for three years from its general availability. Model retirements get at least three months of notice after the deprecation is announced.

Know before the date, not after

End-of-support dates are announced months ahead and then forgotten. Tick “Deprecations and end of support” and the ones that touch what you use arrive in your inbox while there is still time to move.
