Analytics & Data

What the Metabase connector can do

Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool that lets you ask questions about your data and visualize answers as charts, graphs, and dashboards.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect Metabase once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Metabase

Can Claude use Metabase?

Yes. Add a Metabase connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Can Codex work with Metabase through Type?

Yes. Add a Metabase connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Is this the same as a Metabase MCP server?

Not exactly. Type uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
