npm

MCP server for TableCharts — turn tables (CSV, JSON, Notion, Google Sheets, Salesforce) into shareable interactive dashboards, directly from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or any other MCP client.

Why

LLMs are great at producing structured data but terrible at producing real charts. This server gives any MCP-aware assistant a one-shot tool to convert tabular data into a hosted, embeddable dashboard with a public URL.

    TDQS

    A4/5.0

    Scored across 2 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: generate_dashboard creates dashboards, while list_chart_types provides metadata about available chart types. No overlap or ambiguity.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (generate_dashboard, list_chart_types), using snake_case and clear verbs.

    Tool Count3/5

    With only 2 tools, the server is minimal but functional for its stated purpose of creating dashboards. However, it feels thin compared to typical server scopes.

    Completeness2/5

    The tool set covers only dashboard creation and chart type listing, missing obvious lifecycle operations like updating, deleting, or retrieving existing dashboards, leading to significant gaps.
