Metabase 62.0-beta

NOTE: This is a beta release. We don’t recommend running this in production without testing it in a staging environment first. If you encounter any issues with this beta, please report them on GitHub.

What’s in the release? | 62.0-beta

Upgrading | 62.0-beta

Metabase Open Source | 62.0-beta

Metabase Enterprise | 62.0-beta

AI updates | 62.0-beta

  • Use Metabase connector in your favorite AI tool: official Metabase plugins/connectors for OpenAI Codex and Claude.

    • Head over to Codex or Claude marketplace and search for “Metabase”.
    • Note: Official Claude connector currently only works for Metabase instances with URL ending with metabaseapp.com. Alternatively, you can add a custom Claude connector pointing to your Metabase MCP server url.

  • New tools for Metabase MCP server: read any metabase entity (e.g. a dashboard), create collections, execute SQL.

    • You might need to disconnect, reconnect, and re-authenticate your MCP server to see the new tools

  • Display Metabase charts in your AI client

    • If you’re using Metabase MCP server (or official connector) in a tool like Claude or ChatGPT, you’ll now see the results rendered as interactive Metabase charts.
    • Ask your AI something like “Show me my customers in Metabase”, and the connected MCP server will generate a chart and display it in your client. You can change visualization, drill-through, change time range etc - all from your AI client.

    • Alerts only for now; Subscriptions coming soon!
    • Head over to Admin > Tools > Alerts management

  • Content security policy for images

    • New admin setting to configure allowed URLs for images on dashboards, record displays, tooltips etc
