Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: METABASE_URL (Metabase instance URL (e.g., http://localhost:3000)), METABASE_USERNAME (Metabase username for authentication), METABASE_PASSWORD (Metabase password for authentication), METABASE_API_KEY (Metabase API key (alternative to username/password)), DATABASE_HOST (PostgreSQL database host for direct SQL execution), DATABASE_PORT (PostgreSQL database port), DATABASE_NAME (PostgreSQL database name), DATABASE_USER (PostgreSQL database user), DATABASE_PASSWORD (PostgreSQL database password). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Metabase AI Assistant — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Metabase AI Assistant?
Metabase AI Assistant runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package metabase-ai-assistant was installed 55 times last week.
How do I connect Metabase AI Assistant?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls metabase-ai-assistant straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Metabase AI Assistant?
The npm package metabase-ai-assistant was installed 55 times in the last week. Week over week that is -37%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Metabase AI Assistant open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in JavaScript and 49 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
