Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

Currently, there is no MCP (Model Context Protocol) server available for Looker, which limits the ability to interact with Looker dashboards, explores, and LookML models through Claude Code.

Proposed Solution

Create an official MCP server for Looker that would enable Claude Code to:

  • Query Looker API - Retrieve information about dashboards, looks, and explores
  • Access LookML models - Read and analyze LookML model definitions
  • Run queries - Execute queries against Looker explores and return data
  • Manage content - List folders, dashboards, and reports
  • Inspect metadata - Access field definitions, dimensions, measures, and their descriptions

Use Case Example

Use Cases

  1. Data Analysis - Ask questions about data and have Claude generate and run appropriate Looker queries
  2. Dashboard Development - Get assistance building and debugging LookML models
  3. Documentation - Automatically generate documentation for Looker content
  4. Troubleshooting - Debug query performance or LookML syntax issues
  5. Data Discovery - Explore available data models and understand what metrics are available

Additional Context

Looker has a well-documented REST API (https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/reference/rest-api-explorer) which would make this integration feasible.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing an MCP server for Looker using its REST API is the most likely solution to enable Claude Code interactions with Looker dashboards and models.

Guidance

  • Review the Looker REST API documentation to understand the available endpoints and parameters for querying dashboards, explores, and LookML models.
  • Identify the specific API endpoints required for each proposed solution feature, such as querying Looker API, accessing LookML models, and running queries.
  • Consider the authentication and authorization mechanisms provided by the Looker API to ensure secure integration with Claude Code.
  • Explore the possibility of using existing libraries or frameworks that interact with the Looker API to simplify the development process.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of specific implementation details.

Notes

The implementation of the MCP server will depend on the specific requirements and constraints of the Claude Code platform and the Looker API. Additional considerations, such as error handling, rate limiting, and caching, may need to be addressed.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by utilizing the Looker REST API to develop a custom integration with Claude Code, as there is no official MCP server available for Looker. This approach allows for a tailored solution that meets the specific needs of the feature request.
