MCP Dashboards

Registry nameio.github.KyuRish/mcp-dashboards

Install

Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

45+ interactive charts, dashboards, flowcharts, and KPIs inside any AI conversation

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Design, images & audio

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dashboards": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-dashboards"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add dashboards -- npx -y mcp-dashboards

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dashboards": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-dashboards"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "dashboards": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-dashboards"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is MCP Dashboards safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.4.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Your AI can talk about data. Now it can show it.

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

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
{

"mcpServers": { "dashboard": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-dashboards", "--stdio"] } } }

Claude Code / VS Code
claude mcp add dashboard -- npx -y mcp-dashboards --stdio
Remote (Streamable HTTP)
npx mcp-dashboards

Server starts on http://127.0.0.1:3001/mcp

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

Discovery / Catalogs - visual entry points for browsing what's available:

ToolShowsWhen to use
render_catalogMaster catalog with 4 live preview tilesDon't know where to start. Click any tile, hit Ask, drill in.
render_chart_catalogAll 32 chart types with mini previewsLooking for the right chart for your data
render_theme_catalogAll 21 themes with color/typography/effectsPicking a theme
render_hero_catalogAll 11 hero metric variantsPicking a KPI widget style
render_effects_catalogAll 5 effect presets, each applied to a real cardPicking an animation/glow style

Typography is still configurable on every chart via typography= (8 options listed under Themes) - it just doesn't have its own catalog because all 8 options were visually identical without per-card font loading, which wasn't worth the build for one preview tool.
