How to use Tableau in ChatGPT

  1. Open Tableau in ChatGPT’s plugin directory

    Open Tableau’s page on chatgpt.com. Sign in to ChatGPT if you are not already.

  2. Install it from that page

    Choose Install plugin there. It adds the Tableau (MCP only; EOL soon) app and 6 skills to ChatGPT. Since it is listed with Read and Write access, it may ask you to connect the account it works with.

  3. Mention Tableau in a chat

    Start a new chat and name it in your request, for example: “Tableau, tell me about the Tableau Plugin and what it can do.”

Availability can depend on your ChatGPT plan, your region and, on work accounts, your admin’s settings.

What Tableau does

Connects Codex to Tableau's hosted MCP server (mcp.tableau.com) so you can search Tableau sites, inspect workbooks and data sources, query data with VizQL, read Pulse metrics, and generate or modify workbooks by editing their TWB XML and publishing it back — all scoped to the OAuth-authenticated user's own Tableau permissions. Workbook authoring requires the 'authoring-tools' and 'mcp-apps' feature gates to be enabled on the Tableau site.

What Tableau can access

Reads your data
Tableau can look up information, for example from an account you connect, and bring it into the chat. Listed as Read.
Makes changes for you
Tableau can create or change things outside the chat on your behalf, not only read them. Listed as Write.

Before you connect it

OpenAI’s plugin pages note that a connected plugin may receive relevant parts of your chats to answer a request, and that Salesforce, Inc’s own terms and privacy policy then cover that data. You can disconnect a plugin later in ChatGPT’s settings. Read the privacy policy (salesforce.com) and terms (tableau.com).
