Tableau Cloud
Query Tableau Cloud workbooks, data models and Pulse metrics
Overview
What Tableau Cloud does
Tableau's hosted MCP server connects a Tableau Cloud site. Curated data models answer ad-hoc questions using semantics already defined in that environment, so the definitions do not get reinvented in the chat. Published workbooks can be queried for data, images and custom views. Pulse metric definitions and its insights engine supply the deterministic side, and administrative operations on the environment are described as in scope too. Twenty-three tools are claimed, documentation is published, the record is cross-filed under productivity, and a Tableau Cloud account governs what any of it returns.
Tool surface
Twenty-three tools are claimed and the endpoint declines to list them, answering 401, which is what a site-scoped server is expected to do.
Availability
Where Tableau Cloud is listed
Tableau Cloud is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Tableau has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Tableau Cloud publishes 23 tools to Claude, deeper than 74% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one runs 11 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 38th of 198 by tool count.
It falls in the 21-50 tools band, which holds 20% of the Claude directory.
Tableau Cloud publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Tableau Cloud is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
