# Metabase Automation Automate Metabase content, promotion, embedding, and admin refresh workflows. Classic Metabase REST API still owns cards, dashboards, collections, permissions, and schema refresh operations. The newer Agent API is the right surface for headless semantic BI assistants and app-side AI workflows. Metabase v60 (April 2026) added an official MCP server and open-sourced AI; v61 (May 2026) added AI governance, dashboards-as-code via MCP, and per-group Metabot controls. v62 (June 2026, current line) added the official `@metabase/cli`, an Interactive Schema Viewer, a custom-visualization plugin SDK, an Alert Management hub, Library sub-collections, and expanded MCP capabilities — run SQL, create collections, and render interactive charts directly in the AI client. Verify `/docs/latest` and `metabase.com/releases` before citing version-specific behavior, since the release cadence is monthly. ## Quick Reference | Task | Path | Use When | |------|------|----------| | Create/update questions and dashboards | Classic REST API + `scripts/metabase_api.py` | Standard content automation and incremental upserts | | Promote content between environments | Remote Sync or serialization | Git-backed promotion, reviewable diffs, cross-environment moves | | Build embedded customer analytics | Embedding + tenants + embedding permissions | Multi-tenant apps, customer portals, row-level isolation | | Build an AI analytics app | Agent API | Versioned, semantic, app-side AI queryi...
