What is the Tableau Cloud V2 MCP server?

Tableau cloud v2 mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with Tableau Cloud V2 directly. A comprehensive MCP server for Tableau Cloud administration with complete API coverage.

What Tableau Cloud V2 does

A comprehensive MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Tableau Cloud administration built with TypeScript. This server provides enterprise-grade tools with complete Tableau Cloud API coverage, structured logging, and production-ready architecture.

Key capabilities

  • Complete API Coverage — 50+ tools covering all aspects of Tableau Cloud administration
  • Enterprise Architecture — TypeScript with full type safety, structured logging, and error handling
  • Production Ready — Docker support, comprehensive configuration, and professional deployment options
  • Official MCP Standards — Built following Tableau's official MCP implementation patterns
  • Comprehensive Administration — Users, groups, workbooks, data sources, projects, permissions, and more

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 5 tools directly:

  • Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server
  • Installation — The Installation tool exposed by this server
  • Configuration — 1. Copy the environment template: bash cp .env.example .env
  • Usage — The Usage tool exposed by this server
  • Production — The server is designed for production deployment with: - Structured logging with configurable levels - Request correlation for debugging - Secure credential

Installing the tableau cloud v2 mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Configuration

The server reads 4 environment variables: SERVER, PAT_NAME, PAT_VALUE, SITE_NAME. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Requirements

  • Node.js 20 or higher - Tableau Cloud site with API access - Personal Access Token with Site Administrator permissions

Where it fits

Monitoring servers replace the paste-the-stack-trace ritual with an assistant that reads the real event, with all its surrounding context intact. Tableau Cloud V2 sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Prerequisites, Installation, Configuration among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other monitoring security servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • Maintained by petewhore, written in TypeScript.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the tableau cloud v2 mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
