Field-by-field comparison

Compare the evidence before choosing an MCP.

Each signal stays separate, missing facts remain visible, and the column order follows your selection.

MCPs in this comparison

Uncheck an MCP to remove it. Comparing two or three keeps each signal in its own row.

Client coverage noteLocal stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server.
Access and data
AuthenticationLocal stdio mode requires no account or provider key. The local live bridge supports an optional `OPENFLOWKIT_BRIDGE_TOKEN`; the hosted connector requires no sign-in.The official package documents Tableau authentication and server connection configuration.
CostOpenFlowKit is free to use; external AI-provider charges may apply when used through a model provider.The MCP integration has no separately verified MCP100 price conclusion. Publisher subscriptions, API usage, compute, storage, and AI-client charges may apply.
PermissionsLocal mode can edit diagrams/files and can inspect a codebase path explicitly supplied to analysis/discovery tools. The live bridge is localhost-bound with host/origin checks.Tableau site roles, content permissions, and connected-data policies determine what the server can return.
Data handlingLocal stdio calls no outside service. The hosted endpoint is stateless and stores nothing. The browser app keeps diagrams locally and sends basic usage stats that can be disabled.Authorized service data and tool results pass through the MCP server to the connected AI client. Review the publisher and client data policies before using sensitive analytics & data information.
Limitations
Tradeoffs
  • Shortlist evidence is sufficient for identity, setup and task value; authenticated runtime tool-schema measurement and exhaustive security certification remain out of scope.
  • Workbook metadata and query results may expose business-sensitive information or inherited data access.
Risk contextLocal mode can read codebases and write diagram files; live mode edits the open canvas. The hosted connector is read-only/reduced compared with the local server.Workbook metadata and query results may expose business-sensitive information or inherited data access. Use a test environment where practical, least-privilege credentials, narrowly enabled tools, and explicit confirmation for mutations. MCP100 did not execute third-party server code during this documentation review.
