Frequently asked questions
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.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
