Sigma Computing is a cloud analytics platform that lets teams explore and visualize data using a spreadsheet-like interface. The Sigma Computing MCP server lets you manage workbooks, members, teams, workspaces, and data connections using natural language.

​
What Can It Do?

  • Manage workbooks including creation, duplication, export, and permissions
  • Organize members and teams with invitations, role updates, and team assignments
  • Control workspaces with creation, permissions, and grants
  • Monitor data connections and test connectivity

​
Where to Use It

Add Sigma Computing as a tool to any agent. The agent can then manage your analytics environment conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context. To add an MCP tool to your agent:
  1. Open your agent’s configuration
  2. Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
  3. Search for the integration and select it
  4. Authenticate with your account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.

​
In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with Sigma Computing tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

​
As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.
To create a custom MCP node:
  1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
  2. Click Create a node with AI
  3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “List all workbooks in my workspace”)
  4. Test the node and save it for reuse
Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

Exporting Workbooks

Exports run in two steps: Export Workbook queues the export and returns a query ID, then Download Workbook Export saves the file to Gumloop storage. Exports are asynchronous, so a download can return {"status": "processing"} if the export isn’t ready yet. Retry the download with the same query ID until it returns {"status": "complete"} along with the filename. Format options: Send Workbook takes the same file_type, layout, page_id, and element_id options for the attachment it emails.
Tagging uses version tag names rather than tag IDs. Pass the tag name plus the published workbook_version to tag, and set is_default to make that version the default.

​
Example Prompts

Use these with your agent or in the Agent Node: List workbooks:
Export data:
Email an export:
Tag a version:
Manage teams:
Check connections:
Create from template:

​
Troubleshooting

Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking “Share the sales dashboard with the analytics team” will find the workbook first, then grant permission. If results seem off, check the agent’s step-by-step reasoning.
