MCP Dashboard

Interactive dashboard that works as an MCP server. Claude Code (or any MCP client) calls tools to create workspaces, widgets, and artifacts in real-time. The browser renders everything live via Socket.io.

Claude Code  --stdio-->  MCP Server (Node.js)  --Socket.io-->  Browser Dashboard
                              |                                    (React 19)
                         Express HTTP (0.0.0.0)
                         SQLite (better-sqlite3)

Quick Start

npm install
npm run build:all
npm start
# Dashboard at http://localhost:4800

For development:

npm run dev    # Server + Client in parallel

MCP Setup

Add to your Claude Code config (~/.claude.json or .mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-dashboard": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-dashboard/dist/index.js"],
