The Tableau MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Tableau account. It provides structured and secure access to your Tableau workbooks, views, data sources, projects, users, groups, jobs, and server details, so your agent can explore analytics content, review workbook details, find published resources, monitor active jobs, and inspect account access on your behalf.
- Workbook and view discovery: Have your agent list available workbooks and views, then retrieve a specific workbook with its project, owner, tags, views, and freshness settings.
- Data source and project lookup: Let the agent find published data sources and browse the projects visible to your Tableau account.
- User and group review: Direct your agent to list visible users and groups so you can understand who is present on the connected site.
- Active job monitoring: Instruct your agent to check active asynchronous jobs and narrow the results using supported filters.
- Session and server checks: Have your agent confirm the connected site, current user and role, Tableau product version, build, and supported REST API versions.
