What is the Apache Superset MCP Server?
Empower your conversational AI with deep Business Intelligence access by integrating the Apache Superset MCP connector. Seamlessly navigating complex data ecosystems natively from your LLM text-interface, your agent can comprehensively index your analytical infrastructure—spanning from high-level operational dashboards down to specific raw database connections. Instantly run ad-hoc data investigations utilizing internal SQL Lab queries, retrieve explicit graph metadata, and dynamically aggregate critical business insights without abandoning your development environment.
What you can do
- Discover Analytics Surfaces — Audit your entire BI portal intuitively by executing
list_dashboardsand retrieve exact metric configurations invokingget_dashboard_details. - Graph & Dataset Inspection — Inventory active metrics logic seamlessly via
list_charts(or specify viaget_chart_details) and map semantic layers dynamically performinglist_datasets. - Uncover Data Architectures — Examine exact backend storage clusters accurately parsing data availability via
list_databasesnatively. - Direct SQL Processing — Interface with your central storage matrices seamlessly by generating raw extractions securely via
execute_sql_querytargeting specific analytic connections.
How it works
- Append the Apache Superset MCP module systematically into your operational integrations panel.
- Configure your agent accurately providing your active
SUPERSET_BASE_URLalongside your validatedSUPERSET_ACCESS_TOKENacquired from Superset's security endpoint. - Demand direct analytic insights immediately: "Analyze our main Sales dashboard, retrieve the performance dataset logic, and execute a SQL query filtering for Q3 results directly on its database."
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts & Scientists — Expedite query composition flawlessly extracting dataset contexts and formulating complex SQL checks natively utilizing your AI assistant.
- Product Management teams — Check dashboard parameters and inspect metric shifts seamlessly via conversational interfaces over Slack or CLI without learning BI navigation.
- Data Engineering Leads — Audit operational reports safely probing exact table usage or testing semantic datasets cleanly isolating anomalies iteratively.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Apache Superset into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Apache Superset and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 7 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can the AI query databases connected to Superset, such as Presto or Redshift?
Yes. The execute_sql_query tool runs queries through Superset's SQL Lab API, which routes them to whichever database engine you have configured — Presto, Redshift, PostgreSQL, and others.
Are dashboard access permissions enforced when using the MCP server?
Yes. All requests are authenticated with your SUPERSET_ACCESS_TOKEN, so only the dashboards, charts, and datasets your token has access to will be visible to the AI.
Can the AI run write queries (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) via SQL Lab?
It depends on your Superset database connection settings. By default, SQL Lab connections are read-only. Write access must be explicitly enabled per database in the Superset admin panel.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
