A side-by-side look at the Rows.page and Microcharts MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Rows.page for data visualization work; choose Microcharts for data visualization as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
push, pin_finding, get_dataset.find_microchart, get_microchart, render_microchart.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

pushPublish rows as a rows.page dataset (or a new version of one) and get a shareable URL. Pass exactly one of csv, tsv, jsonl, json, rows or url. Up to 16 MB inline; use url for bigger files. Identical content returns unchanged: true without a new version. Re-pushes report rows_delta, columns_added/removed and a diff_url. Anonymous datasets expire after 7 days unless kept. Finding views use the rows.page query language in q: `word` or `"two words"` searches text columns; `field:value`, `field:"a b"`, `-field:value`, `field:*` (not null), `-field:*` (null), `field:foo*` (prefix); `field:>20`, `>=`, `<`, `<=`, `field:10..20`, ISO dates (`at:>2026-09-01`); dot paths for nested JSON (`payload.customer.country:NL`); `tags:urgent` means the list contains it; combine with `OR` and parentheses. A q starting with SELECT, WITH or FROM runs as SQL against the table `data`. sort is comma-separated columns, `-` for descending (`-price,name`); cols picks and orders visible columns (`a,b,c`).pin_findingPin a finding (a saved, titled view) to a dataset you own.

Needs an API key.delete_datasetDelete a dataset you own. Its URL stops working immediately.get_limitsShow your plan, its caps (file size, datasets, version history) and usage.find_microchartRank microcharts chart types against a plain-language question about data ("is it trending?", "error budget", "part to whole"). Returns candidates with the reason each matched. Start here when you know the question, not the chart.get_microchartFull wiring detail for one chart by slug: import paths, its props plus the shared props, data shape, best/avoid guidance, a copy-runnable example, and `sample` — the example as JSON props you can pass straight to render_microchart.render_microchartRender a chart to a finished, self-contained SVG (styles embedded) plus its generated alt text — for surfaces that can't run React. Pass the series as `data`; put other props (value, target, curve, color, width) in `props`. Each chart takes its own data shape — get_microchart returns a valid `sample` to adapt.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
