Introducing AI dashboard and workflow generation in ClickStack
Summary
ClickStack now supports AI-generated dashboards and linked investigative workflows from natural-language prompts, targeting the effort required to understand telemetry, write queries, choose visualizations, and iterate. Rather than asking an LLM to return a finished artifact, ClickStack uses an AI Notebook with the same MCP tools available to external agents, where queries, visualizations, findings, and reasoning are captured in a persistent, editable investigation. The system explores telemetry, validates assumptions, assembles dashboards, and can connect overview and service-level dashboards through dashboard actions; generated charts remain editable. The same MCP server exposes these capabilities to agents such as Claude, Cursor, and Codex, so users can create, refine, and extend dashboards through one toolchain.
Context
Building useful observability dashboards requires understanding telemetry, identifying questions, writing queries, selecting visualizations, and iterating. The post also frames investigations as processes that usually move from broad system health views to narrower services, endpoints, deployments, or traces rather than ending with one isolated dashboard.
Approach / What changed
ClickStack uses an AI Notebook to investigate telemetry step by step with the same MCP tools available to external agents. It generates and validates queries and visualizations, records reasoning and findings, keeps the investigation editable, and links generated dashboards into workflows through dashboard actions. The ClickStack MCP server makes the same dashboard and workflow tools available to Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other agents.
Takeaways
Generated dashboards remain fully editable: users can modify queries, regenerate visualizations, or branch from any point in the persistent AI Notebook investigation.
Dashboard actions let ClickStack generate connected workflows, such as a fleet-wide system health overview linked to a service-level dashboard.
The ClickStack MCP server provides the same semantic observability and dashboard-management tools inside ClickStack and to external agents including Claude, Cursor, and Codex.
