Tableau Cloud

Tableau Cloud is an MCP server that provides tools for administering Tableau Cloud environments through Model Context Protocol clients. It connects directly to the Tableau Cloud REST API using Personal Access Tokens, allowing site administrators, business intelligence teams, and data engineers to manage resources using natural language. The server enables users to perform operational administrative actions directly from AI assistants like Claude Desktop. It supports user provisioning with assigned site roles, user discovery across directories, content listing for published workbooks and datasources, and the creation of organized project hierarchies with configured permissions. Built with TypeScript and Zod schema validation, the integration includes structured logging, secret masking, and optional tool filtering to suit production security guidelines.
