Add to .mcp.json (project-level) or ~/.claude/settings.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metabase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "metabase-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "METABASE_URL": "https://your-metabase.example.com",
        "METABASE_API_KEY": "mb_...",
        "METABASE_DATABASE_ID": "2"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metabase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "metabase-mcp"],
      "env": {

      }
    }
  }
}

Your .env file:

METABASE_URL=https://your-metabase.example.com
METABASE_API_KEY=mb_...
METABASE_DATABASE_ID=2
