looker-generate-embed-url

About

The looker-generate-embed-url tool generates an embeddable URL for a given piece of Looker content. The url generated is created for the user authenticated to the Looker source. When opened in the browser it will create a Looker Embed session.

It’s compatible with the following sources:

• looker

looker-generate-embed-url takes two parameters:

1. the type of content (e.g., “dashboards”, “looks”, “query-visualization”)
2. the id of the content

It’s recommended to use other tools from the Looker MCP toolbox with this tool to do things like fetch dashboard id’s, generate a query, etc that can be supplied to this tool.
