Metabase 63.14

Upgrading | 63.14

Metabase Open Source | 63.14

Metabase Enterprise | 63.14

Release information | 63.14

This release is focused on hardening Metabase security. Many of these changes have already been included in minor releases that we published only as JAR and Docker images.

Some security measures required us to introduce breaking changes to Metabase.

Breaking changes include:

  • We no longer support using Metabase API in undocumented ways, or in ways that aren’t strictly required by our frontend

    • One of the more notable API changes is that /api/card/{card-id}/query/{export-format} endpoint now requires a non-blank id for every parameter in parameters array. The parameter’s id can be taken from the card’s parameter array entry: GET /api/card/{card-id}` returns a parameters array where each entry has an id (a UUID), plus slug and target , so you can map your filter names to ids once and reuse them.

  • Users now need “View” collection permissions to everything a question depends on, including models, metrics, and other questions, all the way down the dependency chain.

    • If any dependency in that chain is in a collection that the user lacks View access to, the card will now fail with a permissions error referencing an item they cannot access.

  • Database secrets are no longer exported with serialization. Imports will still work.

Other enhancements | 63.14

Administration

  • Security advisory now displays affected version ranges clearly. #78649

Database

  • Add warehouse-allowed-hosts setting to control networks Metabase may connect to #79181
  • Optimize metadata endpoint payload for schema-less databases #73928
  • BigQuery: reject oversized queries client-side with a humanized error - #79020 #79019

Embedding

  • Allow copying to clipboard embedded apps #80067

Organization

  • Filter creator fields returned in card API #79065
  • Improve performance of GET /api/collection #79073

Querying

  • Improving performance of field values #79132

Reporting

  • Dashboard new-question flow query builder now uses available screen space instead of appearing cramped. #77270

Other

  • Enable Kimi K3 and Deepseek V4 Flash 0731 via OpenRouter #79207
  • Adds support for Mistral as a Metabot AI provider option. #78521
  • Add Z.AI metabot provider #78253
  • Add Mistral Medium 3.5 model to OpenRouter AI provider #78644
  • Adds support for GLM-5.2 and DeepSeek V4 Pro AI models via OpenRouter. #78253

Bug fixes | 63.14

Administration

  • False Positive Notification for SC-2026-015 in v1.58 #79404
  • Metrics don’t work for users in a Customer RCLS Permission Group #76044

Database

  • Large-scale Databricks with multiple catalogs enabled: IN tuple comparison slows down field sync and takes ~3.5 minutes per schema #79504
  • [Snowflake] Sync floods logs with “Failed to check if table is dynamic” stack traces for any schema whose name contains an underscore #78541

Embedding

  • Embedding SDK: resizing a table column in a dashboard crashes the card — “Maximum update depth exceeded” (ResizeObserver → setState loop) #78557
  • SDK: saving with targetCollection=“tenant” silently targets “Our Analytics”. Tenant users can’t save at all. #77709
  • Embedded editableDashboard loses back navigation after “Edit Question” #76796

Querying

  • SQL Server: “Today” (relative date) filter on a datetimeoffset column returns the wrong rows when the report timezone is not UTC #78612
  • Query timeouts result in opaque metabase error “query_processor.middleware.cache Error processing query: Assert failed: (some? %)” #66655
  • SQL queries with large IN/ARRAY literal lists could be incorrectly rewritten (e.g. null values altered) during query parsing. #74284

Metabase 63.3 - Metabase 63.13

Upgrading | 63.1

Metabase Open Source | 63.1

Metabase Enterprise | 63.1

Breaking changes | 63.1

AI updates | 63.1

  • More AI providers

    We’ve added support for more vendors to power Metabase’s in-app AI features. Bring an API key, plug it into Metabase, and start building stuff with AI. Vendors now include:

    • Metabase AI service (Cloud only)
    • Anthropic
    • AWS Bedrock (new in 63)
    • Microsoft Azure (new in 63)
    • OpenAI (new in 63)

    Set up AI for your Metabase in Admin > AI > AI settings > Connect to a provider.

  • MCP improvements

    The MCP server now supports:

    • Inline charts in MCP clients (#75550). Ask your AI to show a bar chart. See MCP docs
    • Metric creation (#76690)
    • Saving native SQL as questions (#76170)
    • Searching questions, dashboards, and collections (#76316)

Embedded analytics updates | 63.1

  • Custom visualizations in the React SDK (Pro/Enterprise)

    Enable specific custom visualizations in your embeds with the new allowedCustomVisualizations prop on MetabaseProvider.

  • SDK use-action hook

    With the useAction hook, you can trigger an action when someone clicks a button or submits a form in your app. See SDK actions.

New features | 63.1

  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) (Pro/Enterprise)

    Adds the ability to set up two-factor authentication through an authenticator app (with email 2FA as a fallback). Enable in Admin settings > Authentication, then configure for your user in Account settings.

  • Treemap Visualization

    Adds a new Treemap chart type for visualizing hierarchical / part-to-whole breakdowns.

    Try it out: create a question with single metrics in the Summarize section, and two groupings in the group by section. Then visualize as a treemap.

  • PDF attachments in subscriptions

    Adds a “attach PDF of the dashboard” toggle for dashboard subscriptions (email + Slack). Generates the PDF server-side. Try it out by setting up a new dashboard subscription.

    PDFs sent from OSS/Starter Metabases will include watermarks.

  • CSV uploads support for Snowflake (#35069)

  • Dimension picker for the metrics explorer

    A new sidebar picker makes it easier to select dimensions when viewing one or more metrics in the metrics explorer.

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? | 63.0-beta

Upgrading | 63.0-beta

Metabase Open Source | 63.0-beta

Metabase Enterprise | 63.0-beta

Breaking changes | 63.0-beta

We updated the Sample Database that ships with Metabase. The Sample Database used to be an H2 database. It’s now a SQLite database. If you’ve created questions based on data in the Sample Database, those questions may break.

AI updates | 63.0-beta

  • More AI providers

    We’ve added support for more vendors to power Metabase’s in-app AI features. Bring an API key, plug it into Metabase, and start building stuff with AI. Vendors now include:

    • Metabase AI service (Cloud only)
    • Anthropic
    • AWS Bedrock (new in 63)
    • Microsoft Azure (new in 63)
    • OpenAI (new in 63)

    Set up AI for your Metabase in Admin > AI > AI settings > Connect to a provider.

  • MCP improvements

    The MCP server now supports:

    • Inline charts in MCP clients (#75550). Ask your AI to show a bar chart. See MCP docs
    • Metric creation (#76690)
    • Saving native SQL as questions (#76170)
    • Searching questions, dashboards, and collections (#76316)
    • Auditing: a new tab in Admin > AI > MCP > Authorizations to track OAuth Dynamic Client registrations and approval/denials.

Embedded analytics updates | 63.0-beta

  • Custom visualizations in the React SDK (Pro/Enterprise)

    Enable specific custom visualizations in your embeds with the new allowedCustomVisualizations prop on MetabaseProvider.

  • SDK use-action hook

    With the useAction hook, you can trigger an action when someone clicks a button or submits a form in your app. See SDK actions.

New features | 63.0-beta

  • Treemap Visualization

    Adds a new Treemap chart type for visualizing hierarchical / part-to-whole breakdowns.

    Try it out: create a question with single metrics in the Summarize section, and two groupings in the group by section. Then visualize as a treemap.

  • PDF attachments in subscriptions

    Adds a “attach PDF of the dashboard” toggle for dashboard subscriptions (email + Slack). Generates the PDF server-side. Try it out by setting up a new dashboard subscription.

    PDFs sent from OSS/Starter Metabases will include watermarks.

  • Dimension picker for the metrics explorer

    A new sidebar picker makes it easier to select dimensions when viewing one or more metrics in the metrics explorer.

Enhancements | 63.0-beta

  • Admins can now invite people to your Metabase from a question or dashboard.
  • Maps now render in static visualizations, including PDF exports and dashboard subscriptions.
  • Pivot tables now appear as pivot tables (not plain tables) in subscriptions.
  • Documents now have a description field.
  • Sync column and table descriptions from Trino, Presto, and Athena.
  • The Sample Database now uses SQLite (previously shipped as an H2 database).
