Tools for your AI Agents to operate Metabase
Ask your AI agent "List the last 5 dashboards created in my Metabase instance" and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 7 tools connected to real Metabase data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius

Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

Frequently asked questions about the Metabase (Business Intelligence & Analytics) MCP Server
Does this work with self-hosted Metabase instances?
Yes. You just need to provide your full Metabase Base URL (e.g., http://metabase.your-domain.com). Your agent will connect securely to your private instance using your API Key.
Can I see the SQL code behind a specific Metabase card through my agent?
Yes. Use the get_card tool with a specific Card ID. Your agent will retrieve the complete mapping logic, exposing the underlying SQL query (if it's a SQL question) or the structural query parameters used to generate the visualization.
Can my agent list all databases currently connected to Metabase?
Absolutely. Use the list_databases tool to identify all physical data warehouse integrations. Your agent will report the database names, types (e.g., PostgreSQL, Snowflake), and internal IDs available for querying.
