MCP Server

MetricChat provides an MCP server that enables Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients to query your data sources.

MetricChat provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients to query your data sources using natural language.

Available Tools

The MCP server exposes six tools:

Tool	Description
`create_report`	Start an analysis session with auto-attached data sources
`get_context`	Retrieve available data sources, tables, and metadata with regex filtering
`inspect_data`	Quick data exploration returning 3-row samples for validation
`create_data`	Generate tracked visualizations (charts/tables) saved to reports
`list_instructions`	View organizational knowledge guiding AI behavior
`create_instruction`	Create new AI guidance with auto-versioning and approval workflows

Setup

1. Enable MCP Server

Navigate to Settings > Integrations and toggle the MetricChat MCP Server on.

2. Generate Access Token

Click Regenerate Token to create authentication credentials.

Security: Keep your access token secure. Anyone with this token can query your data sources through the MCP server.

3. Configure Your Client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metricchat": {
      "url": "https://YOUR_DOMAIN/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Client-Specific Setup

Claude Desktop Add configuration to:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Cursor Enable MCP settings within the IDE and add the configuration.

Custom Clients Use the standard MCP protocol with the provided credentials.

Reports created through MCP connections are marked with an MCP icon for identification. Tool usage is fully tracked, but LLM prompt content is not saved — preserving user privacy while maintaining query transparency.
