Headless BI management with Claude Code

Integrate this MCP Server into your CI/CD scripts to programmatically access `list_dashboards` and `get_dashboard`. It allows for automated verification of report layouts without a GUI. This is ideal for checking if dashboards are configured correctly in your staging environment. Claude Code processes the tool output in the terminal, letting you pipe that data into your build logs.

Automated data entity discovery

Use `list_databases` and `list_collections` to catalog your reporting environment via the terminal. You can script these calls to ensure your BI structure matches your production database schema. It provides a machine-readable format for your infrastructure audits. Claude Code handles the output directly, making it easy to spot discrepancies in your BI folder organization.

Terminal-based metric inspection

Run `get_card` or `list_cards` to pull query logic directly into your shell. This allows you to verify that your SQL queries match the expected output format before deployment. It removes the need for browser-based debugging. You get the raw configuration data printed in your terminal, which you can then pass to other CLI utilities for further analysis.
