The problem
We use AI for everything - analysis, reports, strategy. But when it comes to actually *seeing* the story in your data, you're stuck copying numbers into a spreadsheet and building charts yourself. The conversation has the insight. The visualization is somewhere else.
The solution
MCP Dashboards renders interactive charts, dashboards, and KPI widgets directly inside your AI conversation. 32 chart tools covering 45+ chart subtypes (bar has stacked/drilldown, hero has 11 variants, flowchart has 6 node kinds + 5 edge styles, etc.), 21 themes, 4 visual discovery catalogs, live polling, PNG/PPT/A4 export - all from a single MCP server. No browser tabs, no copy-paste, no context switching.
Works in
| Client | Interactive in-chat rendering | How |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | Yes (MCP Apps) | stdio config below |
| claude.ai (web) | Yes (MCP Apps) | remote connector |
| ChatGPT | Yes (MCP Apps) | remote server via Developer mode (Settings → Apps → Advanced) |
| VS Code GitHub Copilot | Yes (MCP Apps) | stdio config |
| Goose / Postman / MCPJam | Yes (MCP Apps) | stdio or remote |
| Claude Code (CLI) | Tools + browser preview fallback | claude mcp add below; charts open in a local browser tab |
ChatGPT and claude.ai need a remotely hosted endpoint (Streamable HTTP mode below); the desktop clients spawn the server locally.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> The only official npm package is mcp-dashboards, published from this repository. Similarly named packages are not ours: mcp-dashboards-shared was malware (see OSSF advisory MAL-2026-4296, removed by npm security in May 2026). Install only mcp-dashboards.
Quick Start
Claude Desktop
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
- **Windows:** %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- **macOS:** ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Claude Code / VS Code
Remote (Streamable HTTP)
Bound to localhost by default. See Configuration if you need to expose it on your network or allow browser access from a non-localhost origin.
Supported clients
Works in any MCP Apps-compatible client: **Claude Desktop**, **Claude Web**, **VS Code** (GitHub Copilot), **Goose**, **Postman**, **MCPJam**. ChatGPT support is rolling out.
Just ask
No API to learn. Describe what you want in plain English:
- *"Compare Q1 vs Q2 revenue by region as a bar chart"*
- *"Show my portfolio allocation as a donut chart with the boardroom theme"*
- *"Build a dashboard with monthly sales KPIs and a trend line"*
- *"Visualize website traffic by country on a world map"*
- *"Track Bitcoin price live, updating every 30 seconds"*
- *"Show the conversion funnel from signup to purchase"*
- *"Rank the team by performance using a radar chart"*
- *"Diagram my multi-agent pipeline as a flowchart and let me step through it"*
The AI picks the right tool, formats your data, and renders the chart inline. Click any data point to ask follow-up questions.
**Don't know where to start?** Ask *"show me the catalog"* - opens a master dashboard with one live visual tile per customization dimension (a real bar chart for charts, a pie for themes, a progress ring for hero variants, a neon-glowing card for effects). Click any tile, hit Ask, and you'll drill into that sub-catalog.
Interactive charts, not images
Every chart is **interactive HTML** rendered directly in your conversation:
- **Explore in-chat** - hover tooltips, click-to-select (feeds back to the AI), drill-down with breadcrumbs, scroll-zoom up to 12x on maps and heatmaps
- **Editable flowcharts** - drag nodes, multi-select, rename via right-click, minimap + node list to navigate, step-through playback of the flow, then sync your layout back to the AI to save it
- **Live polling** - real-time charts that auto-update from any API on a timer
- **Export anywhere** - PPT (16:9 slides), A4 (paginated with smart page breaks), PNG, CSV
