## Before you start

You'll need:

- A [Tableau Cloud](https://www.tableau.com/) account
- A [MotherDuck access token](/key-tasks/authenticating-and-connecting-to-motherduck/authenticating-to-motherduck)
- Your Postgres host and port, which you can find at [MotherDuck Postgres settings](https://app.motherduck.com/settings/postgres) (for example, `pg.us-east-1-aws.motherduck.com`)

## Connect to MotherDuck

1. In a Tableau Cloud workbook, click **Connect to Data**.

2. Under the **Connectors** tab, select **PostgreSQL**.

3. Fill in the connection details:
   - **Server**: Your Postgres host (for example, `pg.us-east-1-aws.motherduck.com`). Find this at [MotherDuck Postgres settings](https://app.motherduck.com/settings/postgres).
   - **Port**: The port from your Postgres settings (for example, `5432`).
   - **Database**: Your database name in MotherDuck (for example, `sample_data`).

   - Check **Require SSL**.
