Sisense MCP Server

What it does

Sisense MCP Server bridges your AI client to the Sisense analytics platform. It lets LLMs query Sisense data sources, inspect available fields, and generate charts from plain-English prompts. When used in an ext-apps–capable client like Claude Desktop, the buildChart tool renders an interactive chart UI inline — no context-switching to a separate dashboard tool required.

Key features

• Natural language charting — describe what you want to visualise and the AI builds it against your real Sisense data
• Inline chart UI — buildChart renders an interactive analytics view directly inside Claude via MCP Apps (ext-apps)
• Data exploration — list all data sources and drill into field schemas before querying
• HTTP/SSE transport — works with any MCP client that supports remote HTTP servers
• Per-session auth — Sisense credentials passed via URL parameters or environment variables; no shared state between sessions
• Bun-optimised — fast startup; also runs on Node.js ≥ 18

Installation

Run the server locally, then connect your client to the HTTP URL.

bun install
bun run dev

Server starts at http://localhost:3001.
