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. 45+ chart types, 20 themes, live polling, PNG/PPT/A4 export - all from a single MCP server. No browser tabs, no copy-paste, no context switching.

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"
The AI picks the right tool, formats your data, and renders the chart inline. Click any data point to ask follow-up questions.
What makes this different
Other MCP chart tools generate static images. MCP Dashboards renders interactive HTML inside your conversation.
Explore your data in-chat
- Hover tooltips on every data point - no guessing values
- Click to select any bar, slice, or point - selections feed back to the AI for follow-up questions
- Drill-down into bar charts with breadcrumb navigation
- Zoom & pan on geo maps, treemaps, and heatmaps - scroll-wheel zoom up to 12x with hi-res re-rendering
- Live polling - real-time charts that auto-update from any API (stock prices, server metrics, crypto)
- KPI sparklines - inline trend mini-charts in dashboard metric cards
Meeting in 5 minutes? Export and go
