Build a Sigma app with the Sigma MCP and CLI
Blog post from Sigma
Sigma’s MCP server and CLI let MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Codex interact with Sigma using existing user permissions, enabling natural-language analysis, application building, and administrative tasks without custom integrations. MCP provides access to governed data, search, querying, and workbook-building capabilities, while the CLI exposes Sigma’s REST API for actions including user and team management, credential audits, and activity reviews, with confirmation required for destructive operations. In demonstrations, assistants located relevant data sources, built editable Sigma applications and dashboards in minutes, and used MCP to verify that generated dashboards matched source-data analyses. The workflow relies on existing metadata and benefits from custom skills that provide business context and design standards, while code-driven changes have a different version-history model than UI edits; production-tagged workbooks remain insulated from such changes, and Sigma plans more Git-like history features in the future.
