ThoughtSpot Spotter MCP Server provides a set of tools for querying and retrieving relevant data from your ThoughtSpot instance. Spotter connects to your ThoughtSpot instance, handles authentication securely, and returns live answers from your own data.

Manual client registration
For MCP hosts which do not(yet) support Dynamic client registration, or they require statically adding Oauth Client Id etc. Go to this page, to register a new client and copy the details over. The most relevant values are Oauth Client Id and Oauth Client Secret which should be added when adding ThoughtSpot as an MCP connector in the MCP client (ChatGPT/Claude etc). The generated client details are only available when they are generated and are NOT available later for reference.
Associate with a ThoughtSpot instance
Manual client registration also allows to associate with a specific ThoughtSpot instance, so that your users do not have to enter the Thoughtspot instance URL when doing the authorization flow. While registering the Oauth client add ThoughtSpot URL to the appropriate value.
