Connect it

Ships inside the vendor's own app or CLI rather than as a standalone download.

Add it from the terminal, then restart your session:

terminal
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.

Questions

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.
