- Claude Code, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for

project; put

claude mcp add --env TABLEAU_SERVER=YOUR_TABLEAU_SERVER --env TABLEAU_PAT_NAME=YOUR_TABLEAU_PAT_NAME --env TABLEAU_PAT_SECRET=YOUR_TABLEAU_PAT_SECRET --transport stdio tableau-graphql-mcp -- uvx tableau-graphql-mcp==0.2.0 - Replace
YOUR_TABLEAU_SERVER,YOUR_TABLEAU_PAT_NAME,YOUR_TABLEAU_PAT_SECRETwith your own values. - Start Claude Code and type
/mcp: the server is listed with its state.
Check it worked
Ask Claude Code: List the tools of tableau-graphql-mcp.
If it does not start
- spawn uvx ENOENT
- uv is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
uvxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
