Looker documentation

What it does

Google Cloud's governed BI platform (LookML semantic model, explores, Looks, dashboards, embedded analytics) that sits on top of a warehouse; two first-party MCP routes exist, a local MCP Toolbox prebuilt server and a Looker-managed remote server in preview.

Access and connection

MCP support: official

Access requirements: enterprise-only - the pricing page states Looker (Google Cloud core) offers three platform editions (Standard "for small organizations or teams with fewer than 50 users" with "up to 1,000 query-based API calls per month", Enterprise with "up to 100,000 query-based API calls per month", and Embed), each on an "Annual commitment" with the cost cell reading "Call sales. Work with sales to identify a solution that works for you." No self-serve purchase and no published price.

Authentication: The managed server uses OAuth 2.1 and an admin "must manually register AI agents as OAuth clients via the API Explorer"; all tools are "disabled by default" until an admin enables them, and "An AI agent cannot access data or models that the authenticated user is not authorized to see." The Toolbox route uses Looker API credentials in the LOOKER_BASE_URL, LOOKER_CLIENT_ID and LOOKER_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables and needs "MCP Toolbox version V1.0.0 or later".
