This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that implements integration with Metabase API. It allows AI assistants to interact with Metabase, providing access to:
- Dashboards, questions/cards, and databases as resources
- Tools for listing and executing Metabase queries
- Ability to view and interact with Metabase data
Features
Resources
- List and access Metabase resources via
metabase://URIs
- Access dashboards, cards/questions, and databases
- JSON content type for structured data access
Tools
list_dashboards- List all dashboards in Metabase

Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
