Add it from the terminal, then restart your session:
claude mcp add metabase -- npx -y <package-from-readme>Swap in the exact package and flags from the repo README — most servers need an API key passed as an environment variable.
Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add the server to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"metabase": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "…"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for
every project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"metabase": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "…"
}
}
}
}A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"metabase": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
]
}
}
}Then pick the server from the tools menu in Copilot's agent mode.
Does Metabase have an official MCP server?
Yes. Metabase maintains an official MCP server. The source lives at metabase/metabase on GitHub.
How do I connect Metabase to Claude?
Run the server locally and register it in Claude's MCP config. In Claude Code that's a single "claude mcp add" command; in Claude Desktop you add it to claude_desktop_config.json.
How is this verdict verified?
Metabase has a built-in MCP server at each instance's /api/metabase-mcp endpoint, documented at metabase.com/docs/latest/ai/mcp. An admin must turn it on and AI features must be enabled. The MCP Registry lists it as io.github.metabase/mcp from the metabase/metabase repo. GitHub metadata is refreshed every six hours.
