What is the Tableau MCP Server?

Tableau MCP connects AI applications to Tableau tools, resources and prompts. The project’s examples cover querying data, exploring workbooks and retrieving a view. This can help an assistant work from a report’s business context instead of interpreting an isolated set of database rows.

Name the data source and business question

Specify the workbook or data source, reporting period and metric you need. Ask the assistant to retain the filters and the relevant view reference with the answer. When comparing results, check that each report uses the same definition of the measure and the same reporting window.

Choose hosted or self-managed setup

Tableau documents a managed connection for Tableau Cloud and a self-managed server published as @tableau/mcp-server. Follow the current setup guide for site selection, authentication and available tools. A connection to a Tableau site does not establish access to every workbook or permission to author a new dashboard.
