Analytics and Data MCP Servers

Explore MCP servers for analytics and data processing, providing standardized interfaces for AI models to interact with analytics platforms and data visualization tools.

Analytics and Data MCP Servers

Overview

Analytics and Data MCP servers provide standardized interfaces for LLMs to interact with analytics platforms, data visualization tools, and business intelligence systems. These servers enable AI models to process, analyze, and visualize data while maintaining accuracy and performance.

Common Server Types

Analytics Processing Server

class AnalyticsServer extends MCPServer {
  capabilities = {
    tools: {
      'runAnalysis': async (params) => {
        // Execute analytics pipeline
      },
      'generateReport': async (params) => {
        // Create analysis reports
      },
      'visualizeData': async (params) => {
        // Generate data visualizations
      }
    },
    resources: {
      'datasets': async () => {
        // Access available datasets
      }
    }
  }
}

Data Pipeline Server

class DataPipelineServer extends MCPServer {
  capabilities = {
    tools: {
      'transformData': async (params) => {
        // Transform data formats
      },
      'aggregateMetrics': async (params) => {
        // Calculate aggregate metrics
      }
    },
    resources: {
      'dataSources': async () => {
        // List available data sources
      }
    }
  }
}

Security Guidelines

  1. Data Privacy

    • PII protection
    • Data masking
    • Access controls

  2. Compliance

    • Regulatory requirements
    • Audit trails
    • Data retention

Implementation Examples

Analytics Integration

class AnalyticsPipeline extends MCPServer {
  async initialize() {
    return {
      tools: {
        'processDataset': this.handleDataProcessing,
        'createVisualization': this.generateVisuals,
        'exportResults': this.handleExport
      }
    };
  }

  private async handleDataProcessing({ dataset, operations }) {
    // Implement data processing logic
  }
}

Configuration Options

analytics:
  engines:
    - "pandas"
    - "numpy"
    - "scikit-learn"
  
visualization:
  library: "plotly"  # or matplotlib, seaborn
  outputFormats: ["html", "png", "svg"]
