Metabase 61 is available, with AI governance, dashboards-as-code and Security Center
The x.61 branch of Metabase is now available on Clever Cloud. It focuses on AI governance: control which user groups can access AI features such as Metabot, SQL generation and auto-generated transforms, set token limits per instance or per user group with daily, weekly or monthly resets, customize Metabot with your own name, icon and system prompts, and track token spend and feature usage through a pre-made AI usage analytics dashboard.
It also introduces dashboards-as-code to create dashboards from an AI terminal such as Claude Code or Cursor with git-backed validation, arithmetic expressions across metrics in the metrics explorer, custom expressions written by Metabot in the query builder, and a Security Center with targeted alerts for your instance configuration. Embedded analytics gains usage analytics, guest token auto-renewal, a themes editor, mobile-optimized SDK components and a useMetabot React hook. Some of these features require the enterprise edition (EE).
This branch is not the default for now if you use community-latest. You can update through the add-on’s dashboard in the Clever Cloud Console. You can also set CC_METABASE_VERSION of the underlying Java application to 0.61 or 1.61 for the enterprise edition (EE) and rebuild it, or use Clever Tools:
