### Description (declared)

# mcp-for-metabase

`mcp-for-metabase` is a safety-gated Python MCP server for Metabase. It lets MCP clients and agents inspect Metabase, run governed queries, and create or maintain dashboards, cards/questions, collections, snippets, permissions, and other Metabase assets through the Metabase REST API.

The server is Docker-first, uses the official MCP Python SDK/FastMCP, and defaults to read-only mode.

## Project Status

This project is in production-readiness beta. It has broad generated Metabase API coverage, curated tools for common dashboard and content workflows, Docker-first deployment, live integration coverage, and restrictive default safety gates. Some lower-frequency API areas are available through the generic executor rather than polished high-level tools.

Current highlights:

- MCP transports: stdio and Streamable HTTP.
- Auth: Metabase API key via `X-API-Key`, with username/password session fallback.
- Generic API coverage: 600 generated operations from the Metabase OpenAPI document.
- Curated tools for discovery, search, metadata inspection, query execution, collections, cards, dashboards, snippets, permissions, users, API keys, public links, copies, card queries, and exports.
- Generic API validation for required path/query/body fields, path/query parameter schemas, and OpenAPI JSON request-body schemas.
- Safety gates: `read-only` by default, `safe-writes` for normal content writes, and `all-writes` plus `confirm=true` for destructive/admin operations.
- `dry_run=true` support for write-capable tools.
- Audit logging for mutating requests.
- CI gates for formatting, linting, typing, unit tests, MCP stdio protocol tests, Docker smoke tests, package checks, generated-registry freshness, and live Metabase integration tests across supported Docker tags.

Detailed capability tables live in [docs/CAPABILITIES.md](docs/CAPABILITIES.md), with generated API coverage in [docs/API_COVERAGE.md](docs/API_COVERAGE.md).
