New MCP tools for Declarative Pipelines

Qlik's MCP server just got three new lookup tools built for data engineering. They connect directly to your Qlik Cloud tenant, so coding agents can pull the real project values a pipeline needs instead of working from an empty template, find spaces and data connections by name, and browse the tables and views available on a connection, just by asking in natural language. That means easier declarative pipeline creation, with real tenant context built right into your prompt for faster, more accurate iteration.
