Back in 2017, when I was an analyst, I remember spending almost two full days building one beautiful chart.
It showed accumulated revenue for the current month, a projection until month-end, and the previous month for comparison — basically, whether we were growing fast enough, shown in the nicest way possible.
It took two days because I had to learn JS, since standard tools didn’t support it.
Yesterday, I built exactly the same thing with Codex and Metabase.
It took 10 minutes.
Pure relief after that old JS struggle.
Btw,
@metabase, I’m not sure why dashboard creation isn’t included in the MCP. From my perspective, it’s even more important than querying data, because building dashboards is usually the most annoying part.
