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.

Metabase (Business Intelligence & Analytics) + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Metabase (Business Intelligence & Analytics) MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Metabase (Business Intelligence & Analytics) tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
