# looker This plugin connects Claude Code to Looker through an MCP server. Use it to explore data, manage dashboards, and work on LookML. - plugin · `type=plugin` · Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI · ★ 57 - Author: Google LLC · official Google repository - License: Apache-2.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/looker-plugin - Updated: 2026-09-23 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/plugins/looker ## What it does looker bundles the prebuilt `looker` server from MCP Toolbox as a plugin for AI agents. You can ask an agent in natural language to inspect Looker data, manage dashboards, or create and update LookML files. The setup needs a Looker instance and API credentials: `LOOKER_BASE_URL`, `LOOKER_CLIENT_ID`, and `LOOKER_CLIENT_SECRET`. Optional variables control SSL verification and whether hidden models, explores, and fields appear. The plugin is in beta before its first stable release, so breaking changes may occur. Without the Looker URL and API credentials, the server cannot connect to the instance. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) **Plugin marketplace** In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin install looker@claude-plugins-official ``` In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin marketplace add google/skills ``` In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin install looker@google-plugins ``` In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community ``` In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin install looker@claude-community ``` In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official ``` ## When to use it - explore Looker data with natural-language requests - create or update LookML files - manage dashboards from an AI agent - show hidden models, explores, and fields ## Example prompts - Explore the Looker data and find the main metrics for this project. - Create a Looker dashboard with the required metrics and filters. - Update the LookML files to add a new measure. ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

This repository packages [MCP Toolbox](https://github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox)'s prebuilt `looker` server as a plugin/extension to interact with [Looker](https://cloud.google.com/looker). It can be used with various AI agents, including [Antigravity](https://antigravity.google/), [Claude Code](https://claude.com/product/claude-code) and [Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex), to explore data, manage dashboards, and develop LookML using natural language prompts. > [!IMPORTANT] > **We Want Your Feedback!** > Please share your thoughts with us by filling out our feedback [form][form]. > Your input is invaluable and helps us improve the project for everyone.

No need to constantly switch contexts for common Looker tasks. - **Natural Language Queries:** Stop wrestling with complex UI or LookML. Explore data and create content by describing what you want in plain English. - **Full Lifecycle Control:** Manage your Looker environment, from exploring models to creating dashboards and authoring LookML. - **Accelerate Development:** Speed up LookML development by asking your agent to generate or update files based on your requirements. ## Prerequisites Before you begin, ensure you have the following: - One of these AI agents installed - Antigravity - [Antigravity CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) version **v1.6.0** or higher - [Antigravity 2.0](https://antigravity.google/product/antigravity-2) version **v2.0.0** or higher. - [Claude Code](https://claude.com/product/claude-code) version **v2.1.94** or higher. - [Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex) **v0.117.0** or higher. - A Looker instance and API credentials (Client ID and Client Secret). ## Getting Started ### Configuration Please keep these env vars handy during the installation process: - `LOOKER_BASE_URL`: The base URL of your Looker instance. - `LOOKER_CLIENT_ID`: The Looker API client ID. - `LOOKER_CLIENT_SECRET`: The Looker API client secret. - `LOOKER_VERIFY_SSL`: (Optional) Whether to verify SSL certificates. Defaults to `true`. - `LOOKER_SHOW_HIDDEN_MODELS`: (Optional) Whether to show models that are hidden in the UI. Defaults to `true`. - `LOOKER_SHOW_HIDDEN_EXPLORES`: (Optional) Whether to show explores that are hidden in the UI. Defaults to `true`. - `LOOKER_SHOW_HIDDEN_FIELDS`: (Optional) Whether to show fields that are hidden in the UI. Defaults to `true`. ### Installation & Usage To start interacting with your database, install the extension for your preferred AI agent, then launch the agent and use natural language to ask questions or perform tasks. For the latest version, check the [releases page][releases]. [releases]: https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/looker/releases
Antigravity You can use either of these two agents for Antigravity: - [Antigravity CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) version **v0.3.11** or higher - [Antigravity 2.0](https://antigravity.google/product/antigravity-2) version **v0.3.11** or higher.
