How to Set Up and Use ThoughtSpot
The ThoughtSpot MCP Server connects AI assistants to ThoughtSpot's analytics platform via a hosted remote MCP endpoint, enabling natural language querying of business data, retrieval of analytics answers, and creation of Liveboards (dashboards) — all without running any local server process. It authenticates via OAuth using ThoughtSpot's Dynamic Client Registration and exposes tools for discovering data sources, generating relevant questions, fetching analytical results, and building dashboards from query outputs. This is the recommended integration for business teams who want conversational access to their ThoughtSpot data models.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher installed (required for npx mcp-remote)
- A ThoughtSpot account — a free trial is available at thoughtspot.com/trial
- Access to ThoughtSpot's Rest Playground v2.0 in the Develop section to obtain a TS_AUTH_TOKEN
- The domain 'agent.thoughtspot.app' added to your ThoughtSpot CORS and allowed-domains whitelist
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Windsurf, or Cursor
Obtain a ThoughtSpot auth token
Log in to your ThoughtSpot instance, navigate to Develop > Rest Playground v2.0, and generate an authentication token. This token is used by the remote MCP endpoint to authenticate your requests.
Whitelist the agent domain
In your ThoughtSpot security settings, add 'agent.thoughtspot.app' to your list of whitelisted CORS domains to allow the remote MCP service to make API calls on your behalf.
Configure your MCP client
Add the ThoughtSpot remote MCP server to your client configuration. The server runs remotely — no local process is needed. The npx mcp-remote command acts as a local proxy.
{
"mcpServers": {
"ThoughtSpot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-remote",
"https://agent.thoughtspot.app/mcp?api-version=latest"
]
}
}
}Register your OAuth client (if needed)
ThoughtSpot supports Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) for automatic OAuth setup. If DCR is not enabled on your instance, manually register a client at agent.thoughtspot.app/clients.
Restart your MCP client and authenticate
Restart Claude Desktop or your chosen MCP client. On first use, you will be prompted to complete the OAuth flow. After authentication, the server tools become available.

Example prompts for querying business intelligence data through ThoughtSpot.
- "What are my top 10 selling products by revenue this quarter?"
- "Show me available data sources I can query in ThoughtSpot"
- "What are the relevant questions I can ask about customer churn?"
- "Create a Liveboard showing monthly sales trends by region for the past year"
- "Compare Q1 and Q2 revenue across all product categories"Troubleshooting ThoughtSpot
OAuth authentication fails or the prompt never appears
Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed and 'npx mcp-remote' can run. Check that 'agent.thoughtspot.app' is whitelisted in your ThoughtSpot CORS settings. If using a self-hosted ThoughtSpot instance, verify it is accessible from the agent.thoughtspot.app service.
Tools return 'unauthorized' or 403 errors
Your auth token may have expired. Generate a fresh token from ThoughtSpot's Rest Playground v2.0 and update your configuration. Also confirm the account has permission to access the datasources you are querying.
Data sources are not appearing in suggestions
Use the 'getDataSourceSuggestions' tool explicitly, or ask Claude to list available datasources. Only datasources the authenticated user has access to in ThoughtSpot will appear.
