Question 1

What does the Looker MCP integration do?

Accepted Answer

The Looker integration on the Agen MCP gateway exposes Looker to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. Business intelligence, data exploration, report automation, and embedded analytics workflows. It lets agents call Looker actions like Run query, List dashboards, Get look, and Schedule delivery without writing custom integration code.

Question 2

Which Looker actions are available through MCP?

Accepted Answer

The Agen Looker MCP connector exposes 5 scoped actions including Run query, List dashboards, Get look, and Schedule delivery. Each action is mapped to a specific Looker OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.

Question 3

How does Agen connect AI agents to Looker?

Accepted Answer

Agen acts as the MCP gateway between your AI agents and Looker. Agents authenticate to the gateway, the gateway authenticates to Looker using scoped OAuth credentials, and every call is brokered through the gateway so it can apply policy and capture audit logs.

Question 4

How is access to Looker controlled and audited?

Access to the Looker integration is governed by Agen policies. Admins can restrict which agents or users can call Looker tools, scope permissions per action, and review a full audit log of every call. Learn more about access control and policies.
