Qseow MCP

An MCP server for Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (client-managed). The glue layer for a Qlik support agent. Qlik Cloud ships a native MCP endpoint; the client-managed estate - where a large share of enterprise Qlik still runs - has nothing equivalent. This server exposes the on-prem API surface (Repository/QRS, Engine/QIX, Proxy) as Model Context Protocol tools, so an agent can do what a support engineer does when…. Its 20 documented tools cover app, engine, evaluate, expression.

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Qseow MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set QSEOW_HOST, QSEOW_CERT_PATH, QSEOW_CERT_KEY_PATH, QSEOW_ROOT_CERT_PATH before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add rmterenzi-qseow-mcp -- npx -y qseow-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rmterenzi-qseow-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "qseow-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-08-04 - young repo, little track record yet

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

npm package qseow-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.rmterenzi is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Qseow MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can evaluate a Qlik expression in the current selection state, find a field, KPI, or expression fragment across ALL objects (with owning sheet), master items, variables, and the script, evaluate a master measure by id or title (sidesteps the [Name]-resolves-to-a-field trap), and create app, optionally set script and reload.

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Qseow MCP lets an agent do.

App

4 tools - e.g. Tables, fields, row counts, cardinality; Every LOAD/STORE source and target, classified (qvd, database, inline, resident, store); Reload and save, returns progress tail

get_app_data_model · get_app_lineage · reload_app · create_app

read & search

3 tools - e.g. Distinct values with selection state, optional search; Full qProps of any object - the definition layer; Find a field, KPI, or expression fragment across ALL objects (with owning sheet), master items…

get_field_values · get_object_properties · search_expressions

Engine

2 tools - e.g. Apps visible to the session; Engine version, saturated flag, memory/CPU, loaded apps, session counts

list_engine_apps · engine_healthcheck

Evaluate

2 tools - e.g. Evaluate a Qlik expression in the current selection state; Evaluate a master measure by id or title (sidesteps the [Name]-resolves-to-a-field trap)

evaluate_expression · evaluate_master_measure

create & write

1 tool - e.g. Group-by query: dimensions × measures → rows

create_hypercube

Crosscheck

1 tool - e.g. Adversarial self-check: total vs sum-of-groups - flags non-additive measures and scoping bugs before a number reaches a user

crosscheck_expression

Validate

1 tool - e.g. Quality gate (read-only): will these objects actually render? Definition errors, unknown fields/types, empty cubes, pivot qMode traps, missing nebula property b

validate_sheet

Check

1 tool - e.g. Syntax-check without reloading

check_script

Limitations (from the README)

- Engine sessions are cached per server process with a 5-minute idle reap, so selections persist across tool calls within a conversation. - QRS calls generate a fresh xrfkey per request. - QSEOW_TLS_VERIFY=false exists for self-signed lab certificates; leave it on in production.

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-12 and it shipped 2 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

What can Qseow MCP do?

How do I install Qseow MCP?

Run `npx -y qseow-mcp`. The README documents 4 environment variables (QSEOW_HOST, QSEOW_CERT_PATH, QSEOW_CERT_KEY_PATH…) to set first. Set QSEOW_HOST, QSEOW_CERT_PATH, QSEOW_CERT_KEY_PATH, QSEOW_ROOT_CERT_PATH before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Qseow MCP run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
