About Mode (Collaborative Data Platform) MCP Server
Connect your Mode Analytics account to any AI agent and take full control of your enterprise business intelligence, collaborative SQL reporting, and data source management through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Mode (Collaborative Data Platform) tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 7 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Report Orchestration — List all managed data reports and retrieve detailed analytical parameters, including chart configurations and query states directly from your agent
- Space Navigation — Explore organizational 'Spaces' (Personal, Shared) to retrieve the exact report tokens needed to query scoped analytical boundaries natively
- Global Analytics Search — Execute workspace-wide searches to identify specific reports and datasets matching literal metadata descriptions or keywords
- Data Source Audit — Enumerate explicit database and warehouse connector sources bound to your Mode account to understand which schemas are available for querying
- Member Tracking — List statically tracked analytical users within your workspace to verify report ownership and collaborative boundaries securely
- Metadata Inspection — Deep-dive into specific Report or Space tokens to retrieve precise configuration details and chart definitions instantly
The Mode (Collaborative Data Platform) MCP Server exposes 7 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
