## About

ThoughtSpot Spotter MCP Server connects an assistant to your ThoughtSpot instance. It provides tools for querying and retrieving relevant data, returns live answers from your own data, and can create Liveboards.

It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint with OAuth sign-in, where you enter your ThoughtSpot instance URL during authorization. A bearer-token variant is available using Authorization and X-TS-Host headers. It needs a ThoughtSpot instance with the MCP add-on (Enterprise Edition or Embedded). Add ?api-version=latest or ?api-version=YYYY-MM-DD to choose a tool version.

## What it can do

- Ask natural-language questions of ThoughtSpot data
- Retrieve live answers from your own instance
- Create Liveboards
- Pick a tool version with the api-version query parameter
- Sign in with OAuth or use a bearer token

## Example prompts

- "Ask ThoughtSpot what our total sales were by region last quarter."
- "Create a Liveboard with the answers about monthly revenue."
- "Which products had the highest return rate this year?"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http thoughtspot https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **thoughtspot** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the ThoughtSpot sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **ThoughtSpot** and paste this URL:

```url
https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when ThoughtSpot 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

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=ThoughtSpot&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fagent.thoughtspot.app%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when ThoughtSpot asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to ThoughtSpot to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=thoughtspot&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FnZW50LnRob3VnaHRzcG90LmFwcC9tY3AifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thoughtspot": {
      "url": "https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=thoughtspot&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fagent.thoughtspot.app%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"thoughtspot","type":"http","url":"https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "thoughtspot": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thoughtspot": {
      "serverUrl": "https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. 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

```bash
codex mcp add thoughtspot --url https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp
codex mcp login thoughtspot
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.thoughtspot]
url = "https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http thoughtspot https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth thoughtspot` 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.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thoughtspot": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

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://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp`.
