Qlik MCP Server

[](https://mseep.ai/app/jwaxman19-qlik-mcp) # Qlik MCP Server MCP Server for the Qlik Cloud API, enabling Claude to interact with Qlik applications and extract data from visualizations. ## Tools ### qlik_get_apps List all Qlik applications available in the workspace - Optional inputs: - `limit` (number, default: 100): Maximum number of apps to return - `offset` (string): Pagination offset for next page - Returns: List of applications with their IDs and information ### qlik_get_app_sheets Get all sheets in a Qlik application - Optional inputs: - `app_id` (string): The ID of the Qlik application (defaults to QLIK_APP_ID env variable) - Returns: List of sheets with their IDs, titles, and metadata ### qlik_get_sheet_charts Get all charts in a specific sheet - Required inputs: - `sheet_id` (string): The ID of the sheet to get charts from - Optional inputs: - `app_id` (string): The ID of the Qlik application (defaults to QLIK_APP_ID env variable) - Returns: List of charts with their IDs, types, and positions ### qlik_get_chart_data Get data from a specific chart - Required inputs: - `sheet_id` (string): The ID of the sheet containing the chart - `chart_id` (string): The ID of the chart to get data from - Optional inputs: - `app_id` (string): The ID of the Qlik application (defaults to QLIK_APP_ID env variable) - `max_rows` (number, default: 10000): Maximum total rows to retrieve - `page_size` (number, default: 1000): Number of rows per request - `include_metadata` (boolean, default: true): Include chart metadata in response - Returns: Chart data with headers, rows, and optional metadata ## Setup ### Create a Qlik Cloud API Key: 1. Log in to your Qlik Cloud tenant 2. Navigate to Settings > API keys 3. Create a new API key with appropriate access 4. Save the API key securely ### Configure Environment: Create a `.env` file with your Qlik Cloud credentials (see `.env.example` for a template): ```env 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: ```bash # 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) ```json { "mcpServers": { "qlik": { "command": "/path/to/deno", "args": ["run", "--allow-all", "--env-file=.env", "src/index.ts"], "cwd": "/path/to/qlik-mcp" } } } ``` ### Using Node.js ```json { "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 1. Open Cursor settings 2. Navigate to the Claude configuration section 3. Add a new MCP configuration: ```json { "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 ## Development ### Prerequisites - [Deno](https://deno.land/#installation) - [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (optional, for IDE support) ### Local Setup ```bash # Clone repository git clone https://github.com/jwaxman19/qlik-mcp.git cd qlik-mcp # Install dependencies (for IDE support) npm install # Run server deno task dev ``` ## License This MCP server is licensed under the MIT License.
