Tableau is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to streamline the creation of AI applications that seamlessly connect with Tableau. It offers a suite of developer primitives, including tools and resources, enabling easy access to Tableau's published data sources and metadata through the VizQL Data Service (VDS) and Metadata APIs. This integration allows AI tools supporting the MCP standard, such as Claude Desktop and Cursor, to interact with and leverage data from Tableau Cloud and Server.
