Frequently asked questions
What authentication does Tableau use?
Tableau uses Personal Access Tokens (PATs). Generate one in My Account Settings > Personal Access Tokens. You'll need the token name and token secret.
Can I get dashboard data through the agent?
Yes. The get_view_data tool retrieves the underlying data of any view/dashboard in CSV or JSON format.
Does it work with both Tableau Cloud and Server?
Yes. Set your server URL to either your Tableau Cloud pod (e.g. https://10ay.online.tableau.com) or your on-premise server URL.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
