Superset MCP Server

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Apache Superset. Gives AI assistants (Claude, GPT, etc.) full control over your Superset instance - dashboards, charts, datasets, SQL Lab, users, roles, RLS, and more - through 137 tools. Its 40 documented tools cover superset, dashboard, chart, database. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting database tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Superset

before you install - you'll need

Set SUPERSET_BASE_URL, SUPERSET_USERNAME, SUPERSET_PASSWORD before connecting. SUPERSET_AUTH_PROVIDER, SUPERSET_MCP_HOST, SUPERSET_MCP_PORT, SUPERSET_MCP_TRANSPORT are optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add bintocher-mcp-superset -- uvx mcp-superset

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bintocher-mcp-superset": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-superset"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package mcp-superset - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.bintocher is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
