ThoughtSpot MCP Server
by
Provides secure OAuth authentication and a suite of tools for querying and retrieving data from ThoughtSpot instances via a remote server hosted on Cloudflare.
ThoughtSpot MCP Server Overview
What is ThoughtSpot MCP Server about?
ThoughtSpot MCP Server enables remote, OAuth‑based access to ThoughtSpot analytics. It exposes MCP tools such as ping, getRelevantQuestions, getAnswer, createLiveboard, and datasource suggestions, allowing LLMs and client applications to retrieve and act on business data.
How to use ThoughtSpot MCP Server?
- Connect – For clients that support remote MCPs, set the server URL to
https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp(or the OpenAI‑specific endpoint). - Configure – For clients requiring a local proxy, add the following JSON to the MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ThoughtSpot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-remote",
"https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp"
]
}
}
}
- Authenticate – Obtain a
TS_AUTH_TOKENvia ThoughtSpot’s REST Playground or the/api/rest/2.0/auth/session/tokenendpoint and provide it in the request headers. - Query – Select a datasource in the client UI, then ask analytical questions; the server will invoke the appropriate ThoughtSpot tools to return answers or liveboards.
Key Features
- OAuth authentication with Dynamic Client Registration support.
- Remote MCP endpoints via Cloudflare Workers (HTTP streaming and SSE).
- Toolset:
ping,getRelevantQuestions,getAnswer,createLiveboard,getDataSourceSuggestions. - MCP resources exposing available ThoughtSpot datasources.
- Self‑hostable Docker image for on‑prem deployments.
- StdIO fallback using the
@thoughtspot/mcp-servernpm package for restricted networks.
Use Cases
- LLM‑driven analytics – Enable ChatGPT, Claude, or other agents to fetch live business insights directly from ThoughtSpot.
- Custom dashboards – Programmatically create liveboards from answer lists for automated reporting.
- Enterprise integrations – Embed ThoughtSpot queries in internal tools, CI pipelines, or BI portals via the MCP HTTP streaming or SSE transports.
- API‑first workflows – Use the
bearerendpoints to call MCP tools from OpenAI or Anthropic APIs without full OAuth flows.
FAQ

Connect
If using a client which supports remote MCPs natively (Claude.ai etc) then just enter:
MCP Server URL:
https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp
- For OpenAI ChatGPT Deep Research, add the URL as:
https://agent.thoughtspot.app/openai/mcp
To configure this MCP server in your MCP client (such as Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Cursor, etc.) which do not support remote MCPs, add the following configuration to your MCP client settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ThoughtSpot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-remote",
"https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp"
]
}
}
}
See the Troubleshooting section for any errors / more details.
Usage
- Once the connection is done, ThoughtSpot datasources would show under the resources section.
- Select a datasource (resource), to set the context of your query.
- Now you could ask analytical questions, which claude can decide to use the relevant ThoughtSpot tools for.
See the video below for a complete demo.

Usage in APIs
ThoughtSpot's remote MCP server can be used in LLM APIs which support calling MCP tools.
Here are examples with the common LLM providers:
OpenAI Responses API
curl https://api.openai.com/v1/responses \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-4.1",
"tools": [
{
"type": "mcp",
"server_label": "thoughtspot",
"server_url": "https://agent.thoughtspot.app/bearer/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer $TS_AUTH_TOKEN",
"x-ts-host": "my-thoughtspot-instance.thoughtspot.cloud"
}
}
],
"input": "How can I increase my sales ?"
}'
More details on how can you use OpenAI API with MCP tool calling can be found here.
Claude MCP Connector
curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: mcp-client-2025-04-04" \
-d '{
"model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
"max_tokens": 1000,
"messages": [{
"role": "user",
"content": "How do I increase my sales ?"
}],
"mcp_servers": [
{
"type": "url",
"url": "https://agent.thoughtspot.app/bearer/mcp",
"name": "thoughtspot",
"authorization_token": "$TS_AUTH_TOKEN@my-thoughtspot-instance.thoughtspot.cloud"
}
]
}'
Note: In the authorization_token field we have suffixed the ThoughtSpot instance host as well with the @ symbol to the TS_AUTH_TOKEN.
More details on Claude MCP connector here.
How to get TS_AUTH_TOKEN for APIs ?
For API usage, you would the token endpoints with a secret_key to generate the API_TOKEN for a specific user/role, more details here.

Stdio support (fallback)
If you are unable to use the remote MCP server due to connectivity restrictions on your Thoughtspot instance. You could use the stdio local transport using the npm package.
Here is how to configure stdio with MCP Client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ThoughtSpot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@thoughtspot/mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"TS_INSTANCE": "<your Thoughtspot Instance URL>",
"TS_AUTH_TOKEN": "<ThoughtSpot Access Token>"
}
}
}
}
How to obtain a TS_AUTH_TOKEN ?
- Go to ThoughtSpot => Develop => Rest Playground v2.0
- Authentication => Get Full access token
- Scroll down and expand the "body"
- Add your "username" and "password".
- Put whatever "validity_time" you want the token to be.
- Click on "Try it out" on the bottom right.
- You should get a token in the response, thats the bearer token.
Alternative way to get TS_AUTH_TOKEN
- Login to the ThoughtSpot instance as you would normally.
- Opem in a new tab this URL:
- You will see a JSON response, copy the "token" value (without the quotes).
- This is the token you could use.
Troubleshooting
Oauth errors due to CORS/SAML.
Make sure to add the following entries in your ThoughtSpot instance:
CORS
- Go to ThoughtSpot => Develop => Security settings
- Click "Edit"
- Add "agent.thoughtspot.app" to the the "CORS whitelisted domains".
SAML (need to be Admin)
- Go to ThoughtSpot => Develop
- Go to "All Orgs" Tab on the left panel if there is one.
- Click "Security settings"
- Click "Edit"
- Add "agent.thoughtspot.app" to the the "SAML redirect domains".
MCP server install error due to node issues
- Make sure node is installed on your machine.
- Make sure the node version is >=18
- Check the node version by using the command
node -v
500 error from MCP server
- Make sure the ThoughtSpot cluster the MCP server is connected to is up and running.
- If the error persists, please collect the logs that you get from the MCP client and the approximate time when the issue occurred.
- Reach out on Discord to get support.
- Create a issue on this repository to get help.
- Submit a ThoughtSpot support case with all the artifacts.
Stale MCP auth
- If for some reason the ThoughtSpot MCP server is failing authentication repeatedly, you can do
rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth. - This will remove all stale authentication info, and restart the auth flow again.
