Frequently asked questions

What is the Metabase MCP server?

The Metabase MCP server is an Business Intelligence Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI agents run Metabase questions, dashboards, and SQL queries from AI agents for self-serve BI. It exposes Metabase's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.

How do I install Metabase MCP with Claude Code?

The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install metabase` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y @metabase/mcp-server` and restarting Claude Code.

Is Metabase MCP free?

Yes. The Metabase MCP server is free and open source (see the GitHub repository linked on this page). You may still need a Metabase account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.

Does Metabase MCP work with Cursor and Windsurf?

Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.
