Basedash — Claude Code MCP server: live data and dashboards
Wires an AI client into Basedash workspace data: ask questions, build dashboards and charts over OAuth.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://charts.basedash.com/api/public/mcpWhat Basedash does
Basedash MCP is a remote server that hands your agent access to a Basedash workspace. Ten tools ship with it. ask_question queries live data and returns a governed answer, get_data_sources lists what the workspace holds, and create_dashboard, edit_dashboard, create_chart plus edit_chart build and modify dashboards and charts, returning the Basedash URL and a screenshot link where one exists. Reading is covered too: list_dashboards, get_dashboard, list_charts, get_chart.
Transport is Streamable HTTP and auth runs through browser OAuth, so no API key is involved. There is a single endpoint: https://charts.basedash.com/api/public/mcp. Point your client at it and finish the OAuth prompt.
The server is listed in the official MCP Registry as com.basedash/mcp. If the OAuth handshake fails in your client, none of the tools will show up — worth confirming before you build a workflow on top of them.
What it helps with
- ask what lives in company data without exporting it by hand
- see which data sources a workspace contains
- build a dashboard and get a durable link to it
- add a chart onto an existing dashboard
- walk through the dashboards and charts in a workspace
Example prompts for the agent
- Ask Basedash how many orders came in last week
- List the data sources in my Basedash workspace
- Create a revenue dashboard and give me the link
