  2. 02Multiple authentication methods
  3. 03Rate limiting
  4. 04Error handling and retries
  5. 05Asynchronous support

Use cases

  1. 01Connecting GenAI apps to Tableau
  2. 02Handling API requests with retries

MCP support

Exposes Tableau API capabilities to MCP clients, enabling GenAI applications to integrate with Tableau.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
