Overview

What is Tableau CRM Analytics MCP Server by CData?

Tableau CRM Analytics MCP Server by CData is a read-only MCP server that allows LLMs (like Claude Desktop) to query live Tableau CRM Analytics data using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for Tableau CRM Analytics, which exposes the analytics data as relational SQL models, so no SQL is required from the user.

How to use Tableau CRM Analytics MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build with mvn clean install, install and license the CData JDBC Driver for Tableau CRM Analytics, create a .prp file with connection details, then configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to launch the JAR with that property file. The server uses stdio transport and must run on the same machine as the client.

What are the dependencies and runtime requirements?

You need Java (to run the JAR), the CData JDBC Driver for Tableau CRM Analytics (downloaded and licensed), and an MCP client that supports stdio (e.g., Claude Desktop).

Where does the data live?

The data remains in Tableau CRM Analytics; the server does not store any data. It queries the live source via the JDBC driver.

What transport protocol does the server use?

It uses stdio transport. The server can only be used with clients that run on the same machine as the server.
