# Metabase MCP

> Lets your agent search, query and chart the data in your own Metabase, and build questions and dashboards with your permissions.

Metabase's own MCP server, built into Metabase itself. Your agent connects straight to your Metabase and can search your content, browse your databases, run queries, draw charts, and create questions, dashboards and alerts, all limited to what your Metabase account is allowed to see and do.

What you can do with it
- Search questions, dashboards, models, metrics and documents, and browse collections
- Browse databases, schemas, tables and fields, and look up business terms in your glossary
- Answer questions from your data with structured queries, or with raw SQL when you allow it
- Show results as an interactive chart in agents that can display one, with an Explore in Metabase button
- Create and update questions, dashboards, documents, collections, metrics, segments and measures
- Set up alerts and dashboard subscriptions that email or Slack your data

How it connects
There's nothing to install: the server runs inside your Metabase. Once an admin turns it on in Admin > AI > MCP, add your Metabase's address followed by /api/metabase-mcp to your agent, for example https://acme.metabaseapp.com/api/metabase-mcp. Admins can copy the exact address from Admin > AI > MCP > Settings. You sign in to your own Metabase with OAuth and approve the connection; there's no API key to paste.

Choose what it can do
The consent screen lists permissions for reading content, running queries, writing content, running raw SQL, and creating alerts and subscriptions. Reading and running queries are always included; untick the rest and it can only read and query. No permission gives it more than your Metabase account already has.

Good to know
The MCP server needs Metabase's AI features turned on, but no AI provider: your agent brings the model. Inline charts show in agents that can display them, such as Claude and ChatGPT, once an admin switches them on in Metabase. On Pro and Enterprise plans, admins can choose which tools each group can use and see MCP usage analytics.
