## About

Tableau's official MCP server helps AI agents discover and query Tableau published data sources and work with workbooks and views. Tableau Cloud customers can use a hosted version, while the self-hosted server runs via npx and authenticates to Tableau Server or Cloud with a personal access token.

## Install

1. **Add the server to Codex**

   Codex CLI:

   ```bash
   codex mcp add tableau --env SERVER=YOUR_SERVER --env SITE_NAME=YOUR_SITE_NAME --env PAT_NAME=YOUR_PAT_NAME --env PAT_VALUE=YOUR_PAT_VALUE -- npx -y @tableau/mcp-server@latest
   ```

   config.toml:

   ```toml
   [mcp_servers.tableau]
   command = "npx"
   args = ["-y", "@tableau/mcp-server@latest"]
   
   [mcp_servers.tableau.env]
   SERVER = "YOUR_SERVER"
   SITE_NAME = "YOUR_SITE_NAME"
   PAT_NAME = "YOUR_PAT_NAME"
   PAT_VALUE = "YOUR_PAT_VALUE"
   ```

   Agents SDK:

   ```python
   from agents import Agent, Runner
   from agents.mcp import MCPServerStdio
   
   async with MCPServerStdio(
       name="Tableau",
       params={"command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@tableau/mcp-server@latest"]},
   ) as server:
       agent = Agent(name="Assistant", mcp_servers=[server])
       result = await Runner.run(agent, "Which data sources on our Tableau site mention revenue?")
       print(result.final_output)
   ```

## Example prompts

- "Which data sources on our Tableau site mention revenue?"
- "Query the Superstore data source for sales by region this year"
- "Show me the views in the Executive KPIs workbook"
- "What fields are available in the Customer Churn data source?"
