Product overview
What is Databox MCP?
Databox MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that connects Databox performance data to AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and n8n. It lets users ask questions in natural language and receive answers based on metrics, definitions, history, and business context already managed in Databox.
The server can query datasets, analyze dashboards, return inline visualizations, push structured data into Databox, and trigger reports or workflows. Databox states that metric definitions and calculations are resolved before the AI receives them, helping teams use consistent governed numbers rather than asking a model to infer business context.
