Uses your existing cookies/JWTs. Works with React, Vue, or plain HTML.


What You Get

Ask a question in natural language and get back:

1. Streaming Progress Updates

2. SQL Code Block (By default only shown to "admin" users)

3. Interactive Data Table

4. Charts (Plotly visualizations)

Architecture

Vanna2 Diagram


How It Works

sequenceDiagram
    participant U as ๐Ÿ‘ค User
    participant W as ๐ŸŒ <vanna-chat>
    participant S as ๐Ÿ Your Server
    participant A as ๐Ÿค– Agent
    participant T as ๐Ÿงฐ Tools

    U->>W: "Show Q4 sales"
    W->>S: POST /api/vanna/v2/chat_sse (with auth)
    S->>A: User(id=alice, groups=[read_sales])
    A->>T: Execute SQL tool (user-aware)
    T->>T: Apply row-level security
    T->>A: Filtered results
    A->>W: Stream: Table โ†’ Chart โ†’ Summary
    W->>U: Display beautiful UI

Key Concepts:

  1. User Resolver โ€” You define how to extract user identity from requests (cookies, JWTs, etc.)
  2. User-Aware Tools โ€” Tools automatically check permissions based on user's group memberships
  3. Streaming Components โ€” Backend streams structured UI components (tables, charts) to frontend
  4. Built-in Web UI โ€” Pre-built <vanna-chat> component renders everything beautifully

Production Setup with Your Auth

Here's a complete example integrating Vanna with your existing FastAPI app and authentication:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from vanna import Agent
from vanna.servers.fastapi.routes import register_chat_routes
from vanna.servers.base import ChatHandler
from vanna.core.user import UserResolver, User, RequestContext
from vanna.integrations.anthropic import AnthropicLlmService
from vanna.tools import RunSqlTool
from vanna.integrations.sqlite import SqliteRunner
from vanna.core.registry import ToolRegistry

# Your existing FastAPI app
app = FastAPI()

# 1. Define your user resolver (using YOUR auth system)
class MyUserResolver(UserResolver):
    async def resolve_user(self, request_context: RequestContext) -> User:
        # Extract from cookies, JWTs, or session
        token = request_context.get_header('Authorization')
        user_data = self.decode_jwt(token)  # Your existing logic

        return User(
            id=user_data['id'],
            email=user_data['email'],
            group_memberships=user_data['groups']  # Used for permissions
        )

# 2. Set up agent with tools
llm = AnthropicLlmService(model="claude-sonnet-4-5")
tools = ToolRegistry()
tools.register(RunSqlTool(sql_runner=SqliteRunner("./data.db")))

agent = Agent(
    llm_service=llm,
    tool_registry=tools,
    user_resolver=MyUserResolver()
)

# 3. Add Vanna routes to your app
chat_handler = ChatHandler(agent)
register_chat_routes(app, chat_handler)

# Now you have:
# - POST /api/vanna/v2/chat_sse (streaming endpoint)
# - GET / (optional web UI)

Then in your frontend:

<vanna-chat sse-endpoint="/api/vanna/v2/chat_sse"></vanna-chat>

See Full Documentation for custom tools, lifecycle hooks, and advanced configuration


Custom Tools

Extend Vanna with custom tools for your specific use case:

from vanna.core.tool import Tool, ToolContext, ToolResult
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from typing import Type

class EmailArgs(BaseModel):
    recipient: str = Field(description="Email recipient")
    subject: str = Field(description="Email subject")

class EmailTool(Tool[EmailArgs]):
    @property
    def name(self) -> str:
        return "send_email"

    @property
    def access_groups(self) -> list[str]:
        return ["send_email"]  # Permission check

    def get_args_schema(self) -> Type[EmailArgs]:
        return EmailArgs

    async def execute(self, context: ToolContext, args: EmailArgs) -> ToolResult:
        user = context.user  # Automatically injected

        # Your business logic
        await self.email_service.send(
            from_email=user.email,
            to=args.recipient,
            subject=args.subject
        )

        return ToolResult(success=True, result_for_llm=f"Email sent to {args.recipient}")

# Register your tool
tools.register(EmailTool())

Advanced Features

Vanna 2.0 includes powerful enterprise features for production use:

Lifecycle Hooks โ€” Add quota checking, custom logging, content filtering at key points in the request lifecycle

LLM Middlewares โ€” Implement caching, prompt engineering, or cost tracking around LLM calls

Conversation Storage โ€” Persist and retrieve conversation history per user

Observability โ€” Built-in tracing and metrics integration

Context Enrichers โ€” Add RAG, memory, or documentation to enhance agent responses

Agent Configuration โ€” Control streaming, temperature, max iterations, and more


Use Cases

Vanna is ideal for:

  • ๐Ÿ“Š Data analytics applications with natural language interfaces
  • ๐Ÿ” Multi-tenant SaaS needing user-aware permissions
  • ๐ŸŽจ Teams wanting a pre-built web component + backend
  • ๐Ÿข Enterprise environments with security/audit requirements
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Applications needing rich streaming responses (tables, charts, SQL)
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Integrating with existing authentication systems

Migration Notes

Upgrading from Vanna 0.x?

Vanna 2.0 is a complete rewrite focused on user-aware agents and production deployments. Key changes:

  • New API: Agent-based instead of VannaBase class methods
  • User-aware: Every component now knows the user identity
  • Streaming: Rich UI components instead of text/dataframes
  • Web-first: Built-in <vanna-chat> component and server

Migration path:

  1. Quick wrap โ€” Use LegacyVannaAdapter to wrap your existing Vanna 0.x instance and get the new web UI immediately
  2. Gradual migration โ€” Incrementally move to the new Agent API and tools

See the complete Migration Guide for step-by-step instructions.
