Can I use Metabase as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Metabase CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Metabase through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Metabase tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Metabase credentials stored?

Metabase credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Metabase MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Metabase for agents

Credentials can be configured manually in web or CLI hosts.

Use this integration from Lua code mode, the headless integrations CLI, or the KosmoKrator MCP gateway. The same package metadata powers all three surfaces.

Function Catalog

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`metabase.metabase_list_dashboards`	Read `read`	0	List all dashboards available in Metabase. Returns dashboard IDs, names, and basic metadata. Use metabase_get_dashboard to retrieve the full dashboard with cards.
`metabase.metabase_get_dashboard`	Read `read`	1	Get a single Metabase dashboard by ID, including all cards (questions), layout, and parameters. Use metabase_list_dashboards to find dashboard IDs.
`metabase.metabase_list_cards`	Read `read`	0	List all cards (questions/saved questions) in Metabase. Returns card IDs, names, collection info, and display types. Use metabase_get_card for full definitions or metabase_query_card to run a card.
`metabase.metabase_get_card`	Read `read`	1	Get the full definition of a Metabase card (question) by ID, including the query, display settings, and parameters. Use metabase_list_cards to find card IDs.
`metabase.metabase_query_card`	Read `read`	1	Execute a saved Metabase card (question) and return the query results as rows. Use metabase_list_cards or metabase_get_card to find card IDs. The card must be a question (not a model or metric).
`metabase.metabase_list_databases`	Read `read`	0	List all databases connected to Metabase. Returns database IDs, names, engine types, and metadata. Use metabase_get_database to retrieve tables and fields for a specific database.
`metabase.metabase_get_database`	Read `read`	1	Get detailed metadata for a Metabase database by ID, including its tables, fields, and schema information. Use metabase_list_databases to find database IDs.
`metabase.metabase_get_current_user`	Read `read`	0	Get the currently authenticated Metabase user profile, including name, email, and group memberships. Useful for verifying which account the integration is using.
