  • List all projects, spaces, charts, and dashboards in Lightdash. - Access custom metrics and catalogs for projects. - Retrieve charts and dashboards as code. - Supports development mode with hot reloading.
  1. Integrating AI assistants with Lightdash for data analysis.
  2. Automating project management tasks in Lightdash.
  3. Generating reports and visualizations programmatically.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect lightdash-mcp-server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "syucream-lightdash-mcp-server-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-syucream-lightdash-mcp-server-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop
