NVEIL Overview

The NVEIL MCP server connects AI clients to NVEIL's natural-language data visualization toolkit. It sends dataset metadata, such as column names, types, and aggregate statistics, to NVEIL AI while keeping raw data on the local machine. The toolkit performs processing and rendering locally, producing charts through Plotly, VTK, or DeckGL. Reach for it when an agent needs reproducible visualizations, local rendering, or reusable chart specifications.

Primary Use Cases for NVEIL:
  • Generate charts from local CSV or dataframe data
  • Ask an agent to plan joins, pivots, and aggregations
  • Render saved visualization specifications on fresh data
  • Create geospatial, scientific, or 3D visualizations
