Qlik MCP server
Add the analytics capabilities of Qlik Cloud into your own LLM projects and AI tools and services.
Qlik Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integrates Qlik Cloud into your LLM workflow, allowing you to work with Qlik Cloud using your LLM without having to leave your LLM.
Once connected to your tenant, your LLM can access your Qlik Cloud resources through the Qlik MCP server. Your natural language questions and requests are interpreted by your LLM. The LLM then selects the corresponding MCP tools from the tools available and passes the request through to Qlik MCP server. Qlik MCP server then uses Qlik APIs to perform the requested actions and prepares a response back to your LLM client.
The Qlik MCP server allows you to perform activities in your LLM client such as:
-
Searching for information from your available apps, data products, and datasets.
-
Asking natural language questions without navigating to apps and sheets.
-
Understanding expressions and scripts in apps.
-
Creating dashboards, sheets, and visualizations using prompts.
-
Generating business glossaries
Before beginning to use Qlik MCP server, administrators should review Deploying and administering Qlik MCP server.
To use Qlik MCP server, you must opt in to cross-region data processing. This allows Qlik Cloud to temporarily process data outside your tenant region.
For details and the latest information about processing locations, see Enabling cross-region data processing.
Data sharing
By clicking Approve when connecting your LLM client to the Qlik MCP server, you will enable the Qlik Server to share your Qlik Cloud data ("Content") with a third-party system (like an AI tool). That system is not managed by Qlik, and your Content will be located, stored and processed under the third party’s control.
Qlik MCP server connects with generative artificial intelligence ("GenAI") products and services. It is the user's responsibility to review and verify any GenAI output before using or sharing it, and to evaluate whether the use of Qlik's MCP server is appropriate for any particular use case and whether it complies with applicable laws.
The use of the Qlik MCP server is subject to the terms of the Qlik API policy. For more information on the terms and limitations of the API policy, see API policy.
