Basedash provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets you connect any compatible AI client to your Basedash workspace. This gives AI assistants like Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, and others the ability to analyze data and look up information across all your connected data sources.
If you want to connect external MCP servers to Basedash, see MCP connectors. This page is only for connecting MCP clients to the Basedash MCP server.

​
How it works

MCP is an open standard that allows AI applications to connect to external tools and data sources. By adding the Basedash MCP server to your AI client, you give it the ability to:
  • Query your connected databases and data sources
  • Generate charts and visualizations
  • Look up business metrics and KPIs
  • Analyze trends across your data
All queries respect the same permissions and access controls configured in your Basedash workspace.

​
Installation

Add the following URL as a remote MCP server in your client: 
https://charts.basedash.com/api/public/mcp
