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.

## Research notes
No initialize POST was made on 2026-09-07: the managed server lives at each customer's own Looker instance URL (there is no shared Google host to probe) and the Toolbox route is a locally run binary, so this entry rests on documentation and repository evidence, not a probed endpoint. The managed server is in preview "for Looker (Google Cloud core) and Looker (original) instances" and "Customer-hosted (on-premise) instances are not supported for this preview". The Toolbox docs warn "Prebuilt tools are pre-1.0, so expect some tool changes between versions." The candidate row pointed only at the August 2025 launch post; the two documentation pages recorded here are the current routes. The API-call caps in the edition list (1,000 query-based calls a month on Standard) will bind an agent long before a human notices them.
