Agentic data assistant

Plain-English questions over scan and product data, answered as chart pages. MCP tool server, whitelisted collections, org id in every query, PII masked before the model sees a row. Works with any OpenAI-compatible model.

MCPTypeScript

What it does

A team member asks a question in plain English. The agent decides what data it needs, runs the queries, looks at the results, queries again if it needs to, and answers with a self-contained page of charts, a short summary and a table.

How it’s built

  • A separate Node.js + TypeScript service, never exposed to the internet. Requests come through the core app, which has already checked the user’s token.
  • An MCP tool server and client in the same process. The model calls tools in a loop until it has enough data.
  • Answers are built from a fixed set of page blocks, so every report looks consistent.
  • Follow-up questions work within a 30-minute session.

Guardrails

  • Only whitelisted collections can be queried.
  • The org id is injected into every query, so the model can’t reach another org’s data.
  • PII is masked before any row reaches the model.
  • Row limits, and dangerous query operators blocked.

Any model

The service talks to any OpenAI-compatible provider. Switching models means changing environment variables, not code.
