Setup

Create a Qlik Cloud API Key:

Log in to your Qlik Cloud tenant
Navigate to Settings > API keys
Create a new API key with appropriate access
Save the API key securely

Configure Environment:

Create a .env file with your Qlik Cloud credentials (see .env.example for a template):

QLIK_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
QLIK_BASE_URL=your_tenant_url
QLIK_APP_ID=your_default_app_id
MAX_ROWS_PER_REQUEST=1000
MAX_TOTAL_ROWS=10000
REQUEST_DELAY_MS=100
MAX_RETRIES=3
RETRY_DELAY_MS=1000

Usage with Docker

You can also run this MCP server using Docker:

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t qlik-mcp .

# Run the container
# Make sure to create a .env file first (copy from .env.example)
docker run --env-file .env qlik-mcp

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

Using Deno (Recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qlik": {
      "command": "/path/to/deno",
      "args": ["run", "--allow-all", "--env-file=.env", "src/index.ts"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/qlik-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using Node.js

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qlik": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tsx", "src/index.ts"],
      "env": {
        "QLIK_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here",
        "QLIK_BASE_URL": "your_tenant_url",
        "QLIK_APP_ID": "your_default_app_id"
      },
      "cwd": "/path/to/qlik-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Usage with Cursor

Open Cursor settings
Navigate to the Claude configuration section
Add a new MCP configuration:

{
  "name": "Qlik Cloud",
  "command": "/path/to/deno",
  "args": ["run", "--allow-all", "--env-file=.env", "src/index.ts"],
  "cwd": "/path/to/qlik-mcp"
}

Replace /path/to/deno with your Deno installation path (usually ~/.deno/bin/deno on Unix systems) and /path/to/qlik-mcp with the absolute path to your cloned repository.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter errors, verify that:

Your API key has the necessary permissions
The tenant URL is correct and accessible
The app ID exists and is accessible
Environment variables are properly set
Rate limiting settings are appropriate for your tenant

Common issues:

401 Unauthorized: Check your API key
403 Forbidden: Verify API key permissions
429 Too Many Requests: Adjust rate limiting settings
404 Not Found: Verify app and sheet IDs
