# Tableau Next MCPs, APIs, and SDKs

Explore the MCPs, APIs, and SDKs that you can use for Tableau Next development.


## MCPs

**[Tableau Next MCP](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/hosted-mcp-servers/references/reference/tableau-next.html)**

The `analytics/tableau-next` server exposes Tableau Next’s semantic layer and analytics capabilities to AI agents. It provides tools to discover semantic models (SDMs), retrieve dashboard and visualization metadata, explore metrics and KPIs, and execute natural-language analytical questions via the Analytics Agent. This is the bridge between AI agent conversations and the structured analytical layer that Tableau Next maintains over your data.
