Tableau MCP server

What the model can do

Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server: workbooks, views (with view counts), published data sources, projects and users on a site, and the data behind a view as rows. Can tag and untag workbooks and views, refresh a workbook's or data source's extracts now, cancel a job, rename, move, re-own or certify content, create and update projects, and delete a workbook or data source. Changes to workbooks, views, data sources and projects are synced into memory.

• tableau_list_workbooksTableau workbooks on the site: name, project, owner, description, created and updated, size, tags and a link.
• tableau_get_workbookOne workbook in detail, with the views (sheets and dashboards) in it and their ids, for tableau_get_view_data.
• tableau_list_viewsViews (sheets and dashboards) on the site: name, workbook, project, owner, created and updated, tags…
• tableau_get_view_dataThe data behind one view, as rows and columns (Tableau's own CSV export of the view; for a dashboard, its first sheet).
• tableau_list_datasourcesPublished data sources on the site: name, type (the connection type), project, owner, whether certified, created and updated, tags.
• tableau_list_projectsProjects (folders) on the site: name, description, parent project, whether top-level, owner, created and updated.
• tableau_list_usersUsers on the site: user name, full name, site role (Creator, Explorer, Viewer, SiteAdministratorCreator…) and last sign-in.

Acts, when you ask

These change something in Tableau. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and each one is granted by name: per team on a shared connection, by the owner on a personal one.

• tableau_add_tagsAdd tags to a Tableau workbook or view.
• tableau_remove_tagRemoves one tag from a Tableau workbook or view.
• tableau_refresh_workbookRuns a full extract refresh of a Tableau workbook now, as a background job, outside its schedule.
• tableau_refresh_datasourceRuns a full extract refresh of a published Tableau data source now, as a background job, outside its schedule…
• tableau_cancel_jobCancels a queued or running Tableau job: an extract refresh, a subscription or a flow run.
• tableau_update_workbookRenames a Tableau workbook, changes its description or whether it shows sheets as tabs, moves it to another project, or hands it to another owner.
• tableau_update_datasourceRenames a published Tableau data source, moves it to another project, hands it to another owner, or certifies or uncertifies it with a note.
• tableau_create_projectCreates a Tableau project (folder), at the top level or inside a parent project.
• tableau_update_projectRenames a Tableau project, changes its description, or moves it under another parent (or to the top level).
• tableau_delete_workbookPermanently deletes a Tableau workbook with all its views and data connections.
• tableau_delete_datasourcePermanently deletes a published Tableau data source and its connection.

Connect it

First connect Tableau on Dashboard → Connections, then add Memtro to your client once. The Tableau tools appear alongside the tools of everything else you have connected; nothing is configured per connector.

Who may use it

The key identifies the person, and the server offers that person the tools they may use everywhere else in Memtro. A shared Tableau connection is used by the teams an administrator granted it to, tool by tool, on the Permissions page; a personal connection is used by its owner alone, and its tools that act stay off until the owner allows them. See Teams and permissions and Connectors.

Questions

Is this an official Tableau MCP server?

No. It is Memtro's MCP server with Memtro's Tableau connector behind it: the connector reads Tableau through its API with the credentials you connect on Dashboard → Connections, and Tableau publishes nothing here. The same endpoint carries every other system you connect and Memtro's memory tools.

What does it cost?

Nothing on top of Memtro. One price per organisation by its number of users, from $50 a month for up to 10 users after a 7-day free trial, with every connector, the MCP server, jobs and memory included. You bring your own model keys.

Can it change anything in Tableau?

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add tags to a Tableau workbook or view; remove a tag from a workbook or view; refresh a workbook's extracts now; refresh a published data source's extract now; cancel a queued or running job; rename, move, re-own or describe a workbook; rename, move, re-own or certify a data source; create a project; rename, describe or move a project; delete a workbook with its views (permanent); delete a published data source (permanent). Every other tool reads, searches or lists. An administrator grants each acting tool by name per team, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Which clients work?

Any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP: Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, OpenCode, Codex, Zed, Windsurf, Cline and the Anthropic and OpenAI SDKs. There is no local process to run; the server is remote and authenticated with your key.
