Metabase Cursor Plugin

The official Cursor MCP Plugin for Metabase. Developed and maintained by the Metabase Team.

What’s included

• Skill: setup-metabase-mcp (plugins/metabase/skills/setup-metabase-mcp/SKILL.md)
• MCP server config: plugins/metabase/mcp.json

Current scope: skills + MCP config only (no rules, agents, commands, or hooks yet).

Connecting to your Metabase

After installing the plugin, just ask the AI to set up your Metabase MCP server:

Just type: "Set up my Metabase MCP"

The setup-metabase-mcp skill will guide you through the rest. The AI will:

• Ask for your Metabase URL.
• Verify that your Metabase is version 60 or higher.
• Update your plugin's config with your Metabase's URL.

You'll need a valid login to your Metabase.

How to test the Metabase plugin locally

1. Clone this repo.

2. Copy the plugins/metabase directory to you local Cursor plugins directory.

cp --recursive /path/to/metabase-cursor-plugin/plugins/metabase ~/.cursor/plugins/local/metabase

Note the --recursive flag; you need to copy directory and its sub-directories because Cursor won't resolve symlinks when loading local plugins.

1. With the plugin installed, ask the AI to "Set up my Metabase MCP".

The setup-metabase-mcp skill will guide you through configuring your mcp.json at ~/.cursor/plugins/local/metabase/mcp.json`.

1. Once your mcp.json is configured, reload Cursor, and you should be good to go.
