Overview

AI-generated overview

Generates Tableau workbooks (.twb/.twbx) from a CSV and a natural-language prompt, with dataset profiling, templates, previews and publishing.

What you can do
  • Profile a CSV to get schema, data types, cardinality and null counts
  • Generate a Tableau workbook or packaged workbook from a CSV path and a prompt
  • List available dashboard templates such as sales, OEE, finance and marketing
  • Render a thumbnail preview of a generated workbook
  • Publish a generated workbook to Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server
When to use it
Useful when you have a CSV and want an editable Tableau workbook built quickly instead of assembling worksheets and dashboards by hand, or when you want to publish such a workbook to Tableau Cloud or Server from the assistant.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio via npx (Node.js) or a global npm install. No authentication or environment variables are declared. It reads CSV files from local paths and writes workbook files to paths you specify; publishing to Tableau Cloud or Server requires a reachable Tableau instance.
Before you install
It writes files to local paths and can publish workbooks to Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server, so check target paths and destinations before running. Publishing sends workbook content to your Tableau instance. The README says core generation is free, but no pricing or data-handling details are given for the service behind it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Tableaugen Mcp 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.

README

TabGen MCP Server

Generate production-ready Tableau workbooks from natural language and a CSV.

Official MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for TabGen — the AI-powered Tableau workbook generator. Turn a CSV plus a one-line prompt into a real .twb / .twbx file that opens directly in Tableau Desktop or publishes to Tableau Cloud.

What it does

TabGen writes to Tableau. Point it at a dataset, describe the dashboard you want, and get back an actual editable workbook — not a screenshot, not a suggestion, not a code snippet. The generated file has real data connections, calculated fields, worksheets, dashboard containers, and filter actions wired together.

Use it directly from Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

Installation

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "tableaugen": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "tableaugen-mcp"]    }  }}

Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code

Add to your MCP settings:

json
{  "tableaugen": {    "command": "npx",    "args": ["-y", "tableaugen-mcp"]  }}

Direct install

bash
npm install -g tableaugen-mcp

Then run:

bash
tableaugen-mcp

Authentication

None required. TabGen's core generation is free to use.
