It lets you search through metadata, browse visualizations, and verify backend connections instantly.
Give Claude and any AI agent real-world access
The agent searches the metadata system to find specific data objects like dashboards or charts.
It lists all existing Liveboards (dashboards) and individual Answers (charts/tables) so you know what reports are ready to use.
The system retrieves details on registered account users, user groups, and their current access levels.
It lists all configured backend database connections, such as Snowflake or BigQuery, proving which sources are live.
You can view the metadata tags used across your organization to classify and organize reports and data objects.

The Struggle of Navigating Massive BI Dashboards Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway
Today, checking your company’s data landscape feels like navigating a huge digital filing cabinet. You open the platform and find dozens of dashboards, each in its own folder, requiring you to click through multiple layers of menus just to get an idea of what assets are available or who owns them.
With this MCP, that manual clicking stops. You ask your agent to list all Liveboards or answers, and it gives you the full inventory instantly—all within your chat window. It turns a tedious navigation task into a simple conversation.
ThoughtSpot MCP: Full Visibility Over Your Data Assets
You no longer have to jump between the 'Users' section, the 'Admin Settings,' and the actual dashboard views just to understand who can see what. You use tools like `list_user_groups` and `list_account_users` together to map out permissions without leaving your chat.
The difference is massive: instead of spending time hunting for information across different UI sections, you get a single, structured answer directly from the agent.
What your AI can actually do with this
Connect this MCP to any AI-compatible client and bring your complex analytics workflow directly into the chat window. Stop juggling tabs just to find out what data exists or who has access. This tool lets you treat your entire BI infrastructure like a searchable database of information.
Need to see if Snowflake is connected? Just ask, and it verifies that for you. Want to check which user groups exist across departments? It lists them up. You can search through all the underlying metadata—Liveboards, Answers, or Logical Tables—and get immediate answers about your data assets. Everything you need to know about your organization's reports and configurations is available right here through Vinkius, making it a single source of truth for your BI stack.
019d7612-b20a-732e-9193-d629f4d54356 Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is, instead of clicking through multiple admin tabs, you talk directly to your entire analytics infrastructure and get answers back in plain text.
Subscribe to this MCP, providing your ThoughtSpot Cloud Host URL, Username, and Secret Key.
Your agent uses those credentials to establish a live connection to your BI system's metadata layer.
You simply ask the agent questions—like 'Which databases are connected?'—and it returns the structured data you need.
Who is this actually for?
This connector solves the problem for anyone who gets frustrated having to navigate dozens of dashboard links or open a separate admin panel just to verify data sources. If you spend too much time confirming permissions or listing asset names, this is for you.
Uses the MCP to quickly verify which backend database connections are active and configured without having to check the platform's UI.
Needs to rapidly look up available Liveboards, review metadata tags, or list answers across multiple teams for planning purposes.
Interrogates the user directory and group distributions directly from chat to manage permissions and troubleshoot access issues.
What Changes When You Connect
Skip manual navigation. You can list all available Liveboards using list_liveboards instantly, avoiding the tedious process of clicking through dozens of dashboard folders.
Verify data source health in seconds. Use list_data_connections to confirm if Snowflake or BigQuery are active without opening a single admin tab.
Know your users at a glance. Running list_account_users gives you the full roster, while list_user_groups defines how those people are organized and what permissions they hold.
Pinpoint data assets fast. Instead of browsing everything, use search_metadata to hunt for specific types of reports or tables across the entire organization.
Understand your taxonomy. Quickly review all metadata tags using list_metadata_tags so you know how the company classifies every piece of data.
See it in action
Checking connectivity before a meeting
A Data Engineer needs to confirm if the production Snowflake connection is up and running for a major presentation. Instead of logging into the UI, they ask their agent, which calls list_data_connections, getting an instant confirmation of the active source.
Onboarding new team members
An IT Admin needs to know exactly who has access and what groups exist. They use the MCP to run list_user_groups and list_account_users, getting a clean, structured list of everyone and every group for immediate review.
Auditing data ownership
An Analytics Manager needs to know which departments own certain report types. They use the MCP's ability to check metadata tags via list_metadata_tags to map out the organization’s classification system.
Discovering forgotten reports
A user can't find a specific dashboard and suspects it exists. They use search_metadata, specifying 'LIVEBOARD', which quickly returns links or names for assets they didn't know existed.
The honest tradeoffs
What to watch out for, and the recommended way to handle each one.
Guessing the right menu path
A user spends 15 minutes clicking through multiple dropdowns and tabs in the ThoughtSpot UI just to see a list of all active dashboards, only to get lost.
Use the MCP's list_liveboards tool. Simply ask your agent for 'all liveboards', and it returns the complete inventory immediately.
Checking permissions manually
An admin has to click into every single user profile or group setting one by one to confirm who can view a certain report.
Use list_user_groups followed by list_account_users. The agent structures this data, giving you the full scope in minutes.
Assuming data sources are active
A developer relies on a report that suddenly fails because they didn't check if the underlying BigQuery connection was deprecated or broken.
Run list_data_connections. This tool validates and lists all configured sources, giving you immediate confirmation of connectivity status.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if your core problem is discovery or inventory. If you need to know 'What exists?' (e.g., what tags are used? What groups exist? Which dashboards are built?), this tool is perfect because it exposes the metadata layer directly to conversation. Don't use this if your problem is data transformation; if you need the agent to run complex SQL queries or build new data models, you need a dedicated database querying MCP instead. This tool reads the map; it doesn't drive the car.
