How to audit data architecture with your AI

Connect Metabase to your agent to pull a full map of your data environment. Once linked, your AI can identify every database and table in your setup.

Short answer

Can my AI map my Metabase data environment?

Yes. Your agent uses Metabase to pull a list of connected databases and their associated table mappings. You get a complete structural overview of your data landscape.

Where your audit results land.

The architecture overview.

The agent translates Metabase connections into these four clear outcomes.

INVENTORY

Database list

The agent finds every database connected to Metabase. You get a clean list of all your data sources.

SCHEMA

Table mappings

Your AI identifies the tables and their columns. This shows you how your data is organized.

RELATIONS

Connection maps

The agent looks for how tables link together. You'll see the relationships between different datasets.

HUMAN

Manual review

The AI flags structural gaps or missing links. You decide which parts of the architecture need manual fixing.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent moves from broad discovery to specific structural mapping.

  1. Scan connections

    The agent checks which databases are active in your Metabase instance.

    list_databases

  2. Map tables

    It pulls the specific table names and column structures for each database found.

    list_databases

  3. Check links

    The agent identifies how these tables relate to one another.

    list_databases

  4. Report findings

    Your AI summarizes the entire data environment into a single structural view.

    list_databases

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my database schema?

    No. The agent can only read the structure. It cannot add, delete, or modify any tables or columns.

  • 02

    Does the AI see my actual row data?

    No. The agent focuses on the architecture and table mappings. It doesn't pull your sensitive business data unless you specifically ask it to query a table.

  • 03

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes. Any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf will work with this MCP.

  • 04

    Can the AI fix broken table relationships?

    No. The AI can identify where relationships are missing, but you have to perform the actual fix in Metabase or your database.

  • 05

    Will it find databases not in Metabase?

    No. The agent only sees the databases that are already connected and visible in your Metabase instance.
