What it does

Tableau MCP is a suite of developer primitives that enables AI agents to integrate directly with Tableau. It allows agents to query data, explore workbooks, and retrieve views, turning complex data visualizations into actionable insights for the LLM.

Tools

Querying Tools: Allows agents to ask natural language questions about datasets (e.g., top sales by state).
Content Exploration: Enables agents to find workbooks and views based on metadata and usage.
View Retrieval: Fetches specific views or images from Tableau projects.
