metabase-mcp
The write-enabled, AI-augmented MCP server for Metabase — create dashboards, ask questions in plain English, and get automated insights through Claude, on any Metabase version.
Why This One?
Metabase shipped an official MCP server in v0.60 focused on read and search. This server complements it with write operations, AI-generated insights, production security controls, and support for Metabase versions older than v0.60.
