MCP server for Tableau API integration

VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyDeveloper ToolsData & Analytics

Overview

AI-generated overview

Connects an assistant to the Tableau analytics platform so it can query and work with Tableau data through the Tableau API.

What you can do
A local MCP server that integrates Tableau with GenAI applications, described as covering the Tableau API broadly. It is presented as a data visualization and analytics platform connector with multiple authentication methods, rate limiting, retry logic, and async support. The manifest does not list individual tools, so the exact operations available are not documented here.
When to use it
Worth considering when an assistant needs to reach Tableau content, such as analytics or visualization data, from a desktop setup. It is not useful if you do not use Tableau or do not need an assistant to access it.
Requirements
Runs locally as a stdio process on the user's machine, installed from PyPI as tableau-mcp-server and launched with uvx, so a Python runtime is needed. It requires the secret environment variable TABLEAU_API_KEY and the environment variable TABLEAU_API_URL. Desktop only; no web executable.
Before you install
The server asks for a Tableau API key through the environment variable TABLEAU_API_KEY, which should be treated as a credential and kept out of shared files. The README mentions multiple authentication methods and API coverage but does not document which operations read or change Tableau data, so verify permissions before use.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Tableau in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

40% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
