1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/cuenca-mx/metabase-mcp-server.git
cd metabase-mcp-server
```

2. Configure your AI assistant client ([Claude](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user), [Cursor](https://docs.cursor.com/context/model-context-protocol), etc.) by adding the following configuration:

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "metabase": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/metabase_mcp_server",
                "run",
                "app.py"
            ],
            "env": {
                "METABASE_URL": "https://metabase.domain.com/",
                "METABASE_API_KEY": "your-secret-api-key"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

## Development Setup
