# Connect Tableau to Tinybird [¶](https://www.tinybird.co/docs/forward/work-with-data/publish-data/guides/connect-tableau#connect-tableau-to-tinybird)

Copy as MD Tableau can connect to Tinybird using the ClickHouse® JDBC driver, taking advantage of Tinybird's ClickHouse® HTTP protocol compatibility. This enables you to use Tinybird data in Tableau.

The ClickHouse® connection to Tinybird is read-only. You can use it to analyze and visualize data from your Tinybird data sources, but you cannot modify data through this connection.

## Prerequisites [¶](https://www.tinybird.co/docs/forward/work-with-data/publish-data/guides/connect-tableau#prerequisites)

- A Tinybird workspace with data sources
- A Tinybird Auth Token with scopes `WORKSPACE:READ_ALL`   and optionally `ORG_DATASOURCES:READ`   . See[  how to create it](../clickhouse-interface#auth-token-requirements)  .
