MCP Server for the Qlik Cloud API that lets Claude (or any MCP-compatible client) list Qlik apps, sheets, charts and pull chart data with built-in auth, pagination and rate-limiting.
https://github.com/jwaxman19/qlik-mcpStop copying and pasting chart data from Qlik dashboards into Claude. This MCP server bridges the gap between your Qlik Cloud environment and AI assistants, letting you query apps, explore sheets, and extract chart data conversationally.
If you're building reports, analyzing trends, or explaining data insights from Qlik, you know the drill: screenshot charts, manually export CSVs, or describe visualizations from memory. This server eliminates that friction entirely.
Ask Claude to "show me the top 5 sales regions from the Q4 dashboard" and get structured data back instantly. No more context switching between Qlik and your AI workflow.
Direct Data Access: Pull chart data from any Qlik app with a simple conversational request. The server handles authentication, pagination, and rate limiting automatically.
Complete Navigation: List apps, browse sheets, discover charts—Claude can explore your Qlik environment just like you do, but programmatically.
Production Ready: Built-in retry logic, configurable rate limits, and proper error handling mean this works reliably in real workflows, not just demos.
Zero API Wrestling: Uses the official MCP SDK and Qlik API client libraries. No custom API integration headaches.
Automated Reporting: "Pull the latest sales data from the executive dashboard and format it for our weekly report." Claude handles the data extraction and can format results however you need.
Data Analysis: "What are the trends in customer satisfaction scores from the support app?" Claude can access multiple charts, compare data points, and provide insights.
Dashboard Exploration: "Walk me through what's available in the marketing analytics app." Perfect for discovering new data sources or understanding unfamiliar dashboards.
Data Validation: "Check if the revenue numbers match between the finance app and operations dashboard." Cross-reference data across multiple Qlik applications.

That's it. Claude now has direct access to your Qlik data.
Rather than building another dashboard or BI tool, this server meets you where you already work—in conversation with Claude. Your existing Qlik apps stay exactly as they are. You just gain the ability to reference and analyze that data naturally through AI.
The server respects Qlik's rate limits and handles all the API complexities behind the scenes. You focus on asking the right questions; the server handles data retrieval.
Perfect for data analysts who want to augment their Qlik workflows with AI, developers building automated reporting systems, or anyone tired of manually shuttling data between platforms.
