Features

  • 16 chart types: bar, line, pie, table, big number (KPI), area, big number with trendline, timeseries bar, bubble, funnel, gauge, treemap, histogram, box plot, heatmap
  • Full CRUD: create, read, update, delete for charts and dashboards
  • Tabbed dashboards: organize charts into named tabs
  • Native filters: add/remove/list interactive filters (select, range, time, etc.)
  • Color schemes: 12 built-in color schemes for dashboards
  • Dataset management: find or create datasets, list columns, discover databases/schemas/tables
  • Automatic asset reuse: finds existing datasets and charts when possible
  • Session-based memory: multi-turn conversations with context (agent mode)

Quick Start

# Create virtual environment
python3.13 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Start Superset (Docker required)
docker-compose up -d

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your settings

# Test connection
superset-ai test-connection

# Start chatting (requires agent extras)
superset-ai chat

LangChain Agent

Embed the Superset agent in your Python application:

from superset_ai.agent.graph import create_graph
from superset_ai.agent.tools import set_tool_context

# Create the agent graph
graph = create_graph()

# Set tool context (provides service instances)
set_tool_context(your_context)

# Invoke the agent
result = await graph.ainvoke({"messages": [("user", "Create a bar chart of sales by region")]})

CLI

# Interactive chat mode (requires superset-ai[agent])
superset-ai chat

# Test Superset connection
superset-ai test-connection

# List available databases
superset-ai list-databases

Configuration

All settings use the SUPERSET_AI_ environment variable prefix:

Architecture

Agent tools (agent/tools.py) ──→  operations/  ──→  api/  ──→  Superset REST API
  • api/ — HTTP client and service classes that talk to the Superset REST API
  • schemas/ — Chart/dashboard payload builders and layout generators
  • operations/ — Shared business logic (pure functions, no side effects)
  • agent/ — LangChain @tool wrappers with session caching and asset tracking
  • core/ — Configuration, authentication, exceptions
  • cli/ — Typer CLI application

Development
