Metabase integration for AI agents

Insiro connects AI agents to Metabase so they can act in it under your rules. Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool for visualizing and querying data. It helps teams turn raw data into insightful dashboards and charts, fast. Every Metabase action runs through Insiro's governed gateway, using each person's own connection (API key).

What can AI agents do with Metabase?

With Insiro, agents can answer questions in plain English over the data, refresh reports on a schedule, flag anomalies and explain what changed and export results to the people who need them, all inside the permissions you set for Metabase.

Frequently asked questions about Metabase

Can Insiro AI agents use Metabase?

Yes. Insiro connects AI agents to Metabase through its governed MCP gateway. Agents can answer questions in plain English over the data and refresh reports on a schedule using each person's own Metabase access, with read-only as the default and approvals for actions that change data.

How does Insiro connect to Metabase?

Metabase connects with API key. Each user connects their own account once; Insiro stores the credential encrypted and brokers it to the tool only at the moment of a call, so models never see it. Admins can also register a workspace-level connection.

Can I make Metabase read-only for agents?

Yes. In Insiro Governance, set Metabase to Off, Read only, or Read and write in a click. Write actions can require confirmation or owner approval by risk tier, and every call is logged with the user, tool, tokens and cost.
