Security Report
The TabGen MCP server forwards user files and credentials to an external API (tableaugen.com) without explicit consent flow or credential protection measures. While the code itself is clean and well-structured, the `publish_to_cloud` tool accepts Tableau Personal Access Tokens as plain arguments and sends them over the network to the TabGen API, creating a credential exposure risk. Additionally, arbitrary CSV files are uploaded to the external API without encryption or user confirmation. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

TabGen MCP Server
Generate production-ready Tableau workbooks from natural language and a CSV.
Official MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for TabGen — the AI-powered Tableau workbook generator. Turn a CSV plus a one-line prompt into a real .twb / .twbx file that opens directly in Tableau Desktop or publishes to Tableau Cloud.
What it does
TabGen writes to Tableau. Point it at a dataset, describe the dashboard you want, and get back an actual editable workbook — not a screenshot, not a suggestion, not a code snippet. The generated file has real data connections, calculated fields, worksheets, dashboard containers, and filter actions wired together.
Use it directly from Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.
