6 SELECTED TOOLS
OUR ASSESSMENT
tableau/tableau-mcp is the official MCP server from Tableau (Salesforce). Tool surface covers datasource and workbook discovery, view rendering, VizQL Data Service queries, metadata inspection, and content search. Pairs with the existing Power BI Modeling MCP for BI category coverage.
- Tableau official maintenance.
- 259 GitHub stars and Apache-2.0 license.
- 12 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- Direct VizQL Data Service access preserves Tableau row-level security.
- Image rendering of views surfaces visual context inside agents.
- Tool surface covers Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server.
- Tableau Cloud or Server license required.
- Tool surface scoped to read-only operations; no workbook creation or publishing tools.
- PAT or basic-auth credentials carry the connecting user permission scope; service-account practice still applies.
Tableau MCP carries the user PAT or service-account credentials. Use a dedicated service account scoped to the agent use case rather than reusing personal credentials. Row-level security on the datasource controls what data the agent can read.
Tableau-heavy organisations adopting agentic analytics; data teams that want agents to query published datasources via VizQL without bypassing governance; analytics consumers who want rendered views surfaced inside an agent UI.

SOURCES & RECORDED CHECKS
These are the directory listings and check details held in this record. Client compatibility, directory listings and installation testing are separate signals. Recorded client names describe the scope of a check; they do not establish a security assessment or a recurring test schedule.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
