Our reading of Tableau Public, from the data
Tableau Public is a data & analytics MCP server from wjsutton.
We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.
Maintenance is slowing: the last public signal was 4 months ago (2026-06-12). For comparison, 67% of data & analytics servers are active or maintained.
With 29 GitHub stars it ranks #120 of 1,391 data & analytics servers we index.
It runs locally on your machine over stdio.
