- 1Install in one click
Pick Tableau from the marketplace. WorkAist handles OAuth 2.0 and stores the credentials encrypted — no JSON keys to paste.
- 2Tools auto-generated
Tableau exposes 6 MCP tools to every agent in your workspace: get_metric, list_reports, create_dashboard, query_segment, and more. Each tool is a typed function, not a brittle script.
- 3Data flows to your graph
Historical analytics records sync to your private knowledge graph. Agents query relationships across all connected sources, not just Tableau in isolation.
- 4Your agents take action
Your AI agent picks the right tool, runs it under your access policies, and answers in plain language — with a full audit trail of every Tableau call.
Tableau is analytics software you can connect to WorkAist in minutes. Through the open MCP standard, your AI agents read, transform and act on your data across tools — autonomously, under explicit permissions, with no manual hand-offs. Tableau authenticates via OAuth, and because WorkAist is self-hosted under AGPL-3.0, your data never leaves your own infrastructure.
Authentication & setup
The Tableau connector authenticates via OAuth 2.0.
WorkAist redirects you to the provider, you authorize, and the access token is encrypted and stored. No keys to copy.

FAQ
Can a WorkAist AI agent really automate Tableau end-to-end?▼
Yes. The connector exposes read and write tools through Model Context Protocol. AI agents call them through plain-language instructions in a CLAUDE.md file — no glue code.
How does this differ from using the Tableau API directly?▼
The connector adds permission isolation, audit logging, cost tracking per agent, and reversible PII redaction at the LLM boundary. It also presents Tableau as part of a unified Knowledge Graph alongside your other tools.
What does it cost?▼
WorkAist is open-source under AGPL-3.0 and self-hosted, so the connector itself is free. You pay only for Tableau's own API costs (if any) and the LLM tokens your agent consumes.
Is my Tableau data sent to a third party?▼
No. WorkAist runs in your own infrastructure. Data flows from Tableau → your WorkAist instance → the LLM you choose. Sensitive fields can be tokenized before reaching the LLM.
What if Tableau changes its API?▼
The connector is versioned and published openly. When Tableau ships breaking changes, we bump the connector version and the marketplace UI surfaces the upgrade as a one-click apply.
