Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package tableaugen-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add tableaugen-mcp -- npx -y tableaugen-mcp@0.1.1
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "tableaugen-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",

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.

Installation

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tableaugen": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tableaugen-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code

Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "tableaugen": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "tableaugen-mcp"]
  }
}
Direct install
npm install -g tableaugen-mcp

Then run:

tableaugen-mcp

Authentication

None required. TabGen's core generation is free to use.
