# New Features for Tableau Next Development

Manage External Client Apps for authentication directly from Tableau Next. Embed the AnalyticsAgent to generate natural language insights, visualizations, and proactive alerts in your external apps. Use the Tableau Next ISV/Developer guide to learn about developer solutions, including tools, packaging, and development orgs.

- **[Manage External Client Apps Directly in Tableau Next](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_tua_sdk_eca_in_admin.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Create and manage External Client Apps (ECA) directly in the flow of your Tableau Next work. Reduce workflow friction by managing the authentication settings necessary for external embedding without leaving your Tableau Next admin flow. For example, quickly generate and copy a new client secret needed to embed a dashboard into your third-party app.
- **[Embed the Analytics and Visualization Agent in Your External Apps](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_tua_sdk_analyticsagent_component.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Use the AnalyticsAgent component in the Tableau Next Embedding SDK to embed the Analytics and Visualization Agent in your third-party web apps. This agent helps your users see and understand data with conversational analytics. The agent generates natural language insights, visualizations, and proactive alerts in your flow of work. For example, a customer service agent working in an external help desk system can ask, “Show me the average handle time for escalated cases this month,” and receive an immediate chart without leaving the app.
- **[Start Your Tableau Next Developer Journey](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_tua_isv_dev_guide_annoucement.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Get started on your custom Tableau Next implementations with the new Tableau Next ISV/Developer Guide. This resource details setting up developer environments, deploying assets, and covers all available developer tools for Tableau Next.
- **[Generate Answers Directly from Tableau Next with MCP Server](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_tua_generate_answers_directly_from_tableau_next_with_mcp_server.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Bring analytics and secure data to any MCP-compliant AI client, transforming your data into actionable insights. Seamlessly leverage Tableau Next’s governed analytics, metadata, and semantic models within your AI ecosystem.
