Does this work with self-hosted Metabase instances?

Yes. You just need to provide your full Metabase Base URL (e.g., http://metabase.your-domain.com). Your agent will connect securely to your private instance using your API Key.

Can I see the SQL code behind a specific Metabase card through my agent?

Yes. Use the `get_card` tool with a specific Card ID. Your agent will retrieve the complete mapping logic, exposing the underlying SQL query (if it's a SQL question) or the structural query parameters used to generate the visualization.

Can my agent list all databases currently connected to Metabase?

Absolutely. Use the `list_databases` tool to identify all physical data warehouse integrations. Your agent will report the database names, types (e.g., PostgreSQL, Snowflake), and internal IDs available for querying.
