Qlik MCP Server
Qlik MCP MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Qlik MCP Server.
MCP Server for the Qlik Cloud API, enabling Claude to interact with Qlik applications and extract data from visualizations.
Once Qlik MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
qlik_get_apps — List all Qlik applications available in the workspace - Optional inputs: - limit (number, default: 100): Maximum number of apps to return - offsetqlik_get_app_sheets — Get all sheets in a Qlik application - Optional inputs: - app_id (string): The ID of the Qlik application (defaults to QLIK_APP_ID env variable) -qlik_get_sheet_charts — Get all charts in a specific sheet - Required inputs: - sheet_id (string): The ID of the sheet to get charts from - Optional inputs: - app_idqlik_get_chart_data — Get data from a specific chart - Required inputs: - sheet_id (string): The ID of the sheet containing the chart - chart_id (string): The ID of thePrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverYou will need 3 environment variables: QLIK_API_KEY, QLIK_BASE_URL, QLIK_APP_ID. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Qlik MCP's toolset — qlik_get_apps, qlik_get_app_sheets, qlik_get_sheet_charts and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by jwaxman19; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Qlik MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
