Setting up the Metabase Connector for Llama requires configuring your Metabase API credentials in Ravenala, selecting your target Llama model, and establishing connection parameters. The setup wizard guides you through authentication, database selection, and initial query testing within minutes.

Question 3

Can Metabase AI handle complex analytical queries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Metabase AI through the MCP connector can process sophisticated analytical requests including multi-table joins, aggregations, time-series analysis, and custom metrics. It translates natural language into optimized SQL queries while maintaining data accuracy and performance standards.

Question 4

Which Llama models work best with Metabase integration?

Accepted Answer

Llama 2 and Llama 3 models perform excellently with Metabase data queries. Larger parameter models (70B+) provide superior SQL generation and context understanding, while smaller models (7B-13B) offer faster response times for simpler analytical tasks and basic reporting needs.

Question 5

Does the Metabase MCP for Llama support real-time data?

Accepted Answer

The Metabase MCP connector supports real-time data queries based on your Metabase configuration. It can access live dashboards, streaming datasets, and recently updated tables, providing current insights through natural language interactions with minimal latency.

Question 6

What are common troubleshooting steps for connection issues?

Accepted Answer

Common fixes include verifying Metabase API token permissions, checking network connectivity, confirming database access rights, and validating MCP server status. Most connection problems resolve by refreshing authentication tokens or adjusting firewall settings for the Ravenala client.

Question 7

Can multiple team members use Metabase Connector simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Metabase Connector for Llama supports concurrent users through Ravenala's collaborative interface. Each team member maintains individual query sessions while sharing access to the same Metabase instance, with proper permission controls and usage tracking maintained.

Question 8

How does Metabase AI ensure data security and privacy?

Accepted Answer

Metabase AI maintains enterprise-grade security through encrypted connections, role-based access controls, and audit logging. Data never leaves your infrastructure perimeter, queries are processed locally, and all interactions comply with your existing Metabase security policies and permissions.

Question 9

What data visualization options are available?

Accepted Answer

The integration provides access to all Metabase visualization types including charts, graphs, tables, and custom dashboards through conversational requests. You can generate new visualizations, modify existing ones, and export results directly within the chat interface using simple natural language commands.

Question 10

Is there API documentation for custom Metabase implementations?

Accepted Answer

Comprehensive API documentation covers custom implementation scenarios, webhook configurations, and advanced MCP server setups. The documentation includes code examples, authentication guides, and best practices for extending Metabase AI functionality within your specific infrastructure requirements.
