We are very happy to welcome Stephen back to continue exploring Metabase's AI capabilities.
In this workshop, he will walk through how to use the CLI and MCP server for AI data exploration that runs on your permissions and your metrics.
You'll learn:
When to reach for the Metabase CLI versus the MCP server, and how the two fit together
How to connect Claude to Metabase over the MCP server and ask questions that come back as both answers and interactive charts
How to install and authenticate the CLI, then run commands to inspect and query your data
When to hand a whole dashboard to the agent and let it build end to end, without you ever leaving the terminal
Why a little care in how you prompt is the difference between a throwaway dashboard and one you'd actually keep
