Managing a complex BI platform usually means a lot of clicking through nested folders and hunting for the right dashboard. You might spend time searching for specific metrics or trying to figure out how a certain report is actually structured. This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent do the heavy lifting. Instead of navigating the UI, you can just ask your agent to find a specific report, pull the underlying configuration, or run a quick query to get the numbers you need right now. It handles the grunt work of navigating your Looker tenant, from auditing permissions to inspecting metadata. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can connect it to your favorite AI client and start querying your data naturally. It turns your BI environment into a searchable, queryable database that your agent understands perfectly. You stop being a UI navigator and start being a data consumer who gets answers instantly. You can ask for a list of all dashboards to see what is available, or find a specific Look to see exactly what filters are being applied to a dataset. This means you spend less time in the Looker interface and more time making decisions based on the data you find. ## Tools ### list_dashboards List all dashboards in your Looker instance. This gives you a high-level view of your BI assets. ### get_dashboard Get the full configuration and query mapping for a specific dashboard ID. This helps you understand the underlying data logic. ### list_looks List saved dataset mappings to see which Looks are being used across the company. This helps maintain consistency in reporting. ### get_look Retrieve the exact model mappings and filters for a specific Looker target object. This ensures you see the same data as your teammates. ### list_folders List the root folders to audit the organizational structure of your Looker tenant. This helps you see how your BI environment is organized. ### search_content Search through content metadata to find specific reports and datasets quickly. This saves you from clicking through nested folders. ### run_inline_query Execute queries against models to fetch specific dimensions and measures dynamically. This lets you get quick answers without building a new report. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Find the dashboard for Q3 sales. ``` **Response:** ``` I found 2 dashboards: * **Q3 Sales Overview** (ID: 456) * **Q3 Regional Sales** (ID: 789) Which one would you like to see? ``` **Prompt:** ``` What filters are on the Active Users look? ``` **Response:** ``` The **Active Users** Look is filtered by: * **Date Range:** Last 30 Days * **Status:** Active * **Region:** North America ``` **Prompt:** ``` Get the total amount from the orders view for yesterday. ``` **Response:** ``` Querying the orders view... **Total Amount (Yesterday):** $12,450 Would you like the full 100-row result set? ``` ## Capabilities ### List all dashboards See every dashboard in your Looker instance at once. ### Fetch dashboard details Get the full query mapping and configuration for a specific dashboard ID. ### Audit saved Looks Retrieve the exact model mappings and filters for your organization's saved reports. ### Search content metadata Find specific assets across your entire Looker instance using keywords. ### Run dynamic queries Fetch real-time dimensions and measures from specific models. ### Map folder structures See the root folders and hierarchy of your Looker tenant. ## Use Cases ### Finding a specific report A user asks for the Marketing ROI report. The agent uses search_content to find the correct dashboard ID and provides the link. ### Quick data verification An analyst needs the total sales from yesterday. They use run_inline_query to get the number without building a new report. ### Auditing permissions A platform engineer needs to see all folders to check permissions and uses list_folders to get the hierarchy. ### Understanding report logic A developer needs to know how a sales metric is calculated and uses get_look to see the filters and model mappings. ## Benefits - Stop clicking through nested folders by using search_content to find reports instantly. - Get exact data mappings without opening the UI by using get_look to see saved filters. - Run rapid data checks using run_inline_query to fetch specific dimensions without manual SQL. - Audit your entire BI structure quickly with list_folders to see how your tenant is organized. - Pull dashboard configurations automatically with get_dashboard to understand underlying logic. - Keep your team consistent by using list_looks to see the most common dataset mappings. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a natural language interface for your entire Looker BI environment. 1. Subscribe to the Looker MCP on the Vinkius marketplace. 2. Enter your Looker Base URL, Client ID, and Client Secret. 3.

Use the `run_inline_query` tool by providing the model name, view, and specific fields. Your agent will execute the query securely and return up to 100 rows of data, perfect for rapid data validation. **How do I see the filters applied to a specific Looker dashboard?** The `get_dashboard` tool retrieves the complete configuration for a Dashboard UUID. Your agent will expose the applied filters, element layouts, and underlying query structures directly in your chat interface. **Can my agent help me find reports in my Looker account?** Absolutely. Use the `search_content` tool to perform a deep search across content metadata. Your agent will identify dashboards and looks matching your text query, helping you locate critical data assets instantly.
