mcp.tc/i/tableaulisting.about
Tableau's official MCP server lets an assistant work with Tableau content. Based on the documentation and OAuth scopes, it can query published data sources, explore workbooks and views, download views, and read Pulse metrics. Requests run with the signed-in user's own permissions.
The hosted endpoint at https://mcp.tableau.com is for Tableau Cloud and uses OAuth 2.1, so each user signs in with their Tableau Cloud identity. For Tableau Server or self-hosting, run the npm package @tableau/mcp-server with npx (Node.js 22.7.5 or later) and set SERVER, SITE_NAME, PAT_NAME and PAT_VALUE.

Claude Code
- Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http tableau https://mcp.tableau.com- Start Claude Code, type
/mcp, pick tableau and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the Tableau (Salesforce) sign-in.
Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.
Claude Desktop
- Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
- Name it Tableau and paste this URL:
https://mcp.tableau.com- Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when Tableau (Salesforce) asks.
Claude Desktop's JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.
claude.ai
- Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
- Check that the URL reads
https://mcp.tableau.comand click Add. - Click Connect and sign in when Tableau (Salesforce) asks.
Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.
ChatGPT
- On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to
chatgpt.com/pluginsand click + to create an app for a remote MCP server. - Paste
https://mcp.tableau.comas the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to Tableau (Salesforce) to sign in.
Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.
Cursor
Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"tableau": {
"url": "https://mcp.tableau.com"
}
}
}Cursor shows Needs login next to the server. Click it to sign in.
VS Code
Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab
Or from a terminal:
code --add-mcp '{"name":"tableau","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.tableau.com"}'Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"tableau": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.tableau.com"
}
}
}VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.
Devin Desktop
- Add it to
~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json(macOS and Linux) or%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json(Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"tableau": {
"serverUrl": "https://mcp.tableau.com"
}
}
}- Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.
Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.
Codex
codex mcp add tableau --url https://mcp.tableau.com
codex mcp login tableauOr edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:
[mcp_servers.tableau]
url = "https://mcp.tableau.com"Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add --transport http tableau https://mcp.tableau.comThen, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth tableau to sign in.
This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.
Any client
Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI's settings file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"tableau": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.tableau.com"
}
}
}Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.
Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.tableau.com.
listing.faq
Can I paste mcp.tc/i/tableau into my MCP client?
No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://mcp.tableau.com, so your client talks to Tableau directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.
Does Tableau need an API key or a sign-in?
Yes, you need a Tableau (Salesforce) account. The first time your client connects, it opens Tableau (Salesforce)'s sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server's own URL, never through mcp.tc.
Is Tableau a remote or a local server?
Remote. Tableau (Salesforce) hosts it at https://mcp.tableau.com, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.
What can Tableau do?
You can query published Tableau data sources in natural language, find and explore workbooks, for example the most viewed in the last year and retrieve and show views from a project.
Which clients can use it?
Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.
Who wrote this page?
mcp.tc's robot read Tableau's own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
