How Databox MCP works

Databox MCP lets your AI tool work with your performance data, securely.

How Databox MCP works
1

Connect securely

Bring data into your AI tool with MCP. Your data stays protected & access is under your control.

2

Talk to your AI

Ask your AI a question and Databox will do the math using your metrics and history.

3

Turn insights into action

Use real analysis to trigger alerts, reports, and workflows without leaving your AI tool.

A new way to work with your data.

No dashboards to build. No SQL to write. No waiting on the data team.
Your AI gives you answers the moment you ask.

ANALYZE

Your AI data analyst. On demand.

Ask AI a simple question, and it will use your real metrics, definitions, and historical context to give you insights that are accurate, explainable, and reliable enough for everyday decisions.

  • Ask questions about revenue trends, user behavior, or campaign performance
  • Get clear explanations, not just raw numbers
INGEST

Bring new data to Databox, instantly.

Push new data directly from your AI tool into Databox to get clean, structured, and ready-to-use datasets. Then build metrics you can visualize alongside your data. No pipelines or cleanup work.

  • Upload a messy CSV and ask AI to clean and standardize it
  • Pull data from an API and store it in Databox
  • Add custom internal metrics without setup
AUTOMATE

Insights turned into automated actions.

Because AI stays connected to your systems, insights can be turned into recurring summaries, updates, follow-ups, and workflows that run automatically.
Move from insights to actions, quicker.

  • Schedule recurring AI-powered analysis and reports
  • Trigger smart alerts when key metrics change
  • Automatically generate executive summaries with context

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Databox MCP?

Databox MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that connects your AI tools (like Claude, n8n, or Cursor) to your Databox data. It lets you push data from any source and query your datasets using natural language—all through your AI assistant.

How is this different from uploading data to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT recalculates from scratch and guesses at context. MCP queries your actual Databox data and provides same definitions and results as your dashboard.

Which AI tools work with MCP?

Any MCP-compatible tool, such as Claude Web & Desktop, Gemini CLI, n8n Workflows, Cursor. New integrations are being added regularly.

Do I need to code?

No, just ask questions in plain language. Developers can use the API for advanced workflows.

Is my data safe?

Absolutely. All connections use secure authentication with API keys. Your data stays in your Databox account with the same security and governance you already trust. The AI only accesses data you explicitly grant permission to.

What can I do with Databox MCP?

A bunch of amazing stuff. Push data from any source (APIs, spreadsheets, databases), query datasets with natural language, automate reports, detect trends, analyze patterns, and integrate Databox into your AI workflows—all without building dashboards or writing SQL.

Can I automate reports?

Sure. Simply connect to n8n or Make to schedule queries, analyze results, and trigger actions automatically.

What data sources can I use?

Any of 130+ Databox integrations. Or, just push new data via CSV, API, or manual entry.

How is this different from using Databox dashboards?

Dashboards require manual setup and navigation. With MCP, your AI can access your data conversationally, answer ad-hoc questions instantly, and automate workflows—no dashboard building required.

Is Databox MCP included in my plan?

Databox MCP is included for all Databox users at no additional cost. You'll need a Databox account and an API key to get started.
