Data Connector · Threadline demo

Ask your company's data questions in plain English.

This is a live demo of an MCP data connector: a read-only SQL endpoint with built-in business context that Claude (or any MCP client) uses to answer questions about a retailer's sales, products, customers, stock, production and web analytics. The demo data is Threadline, a fictional UK personalised-apparel business with four years of history.

What's inside

  • ~190K orders, ~600K lines, Jan 2023 → yesterday
  • Website, Etsy, 8 studios and a B2B trade desk
  • Products, print methods, templates, promotions
  • Customers with RFM segments
  • Returns, reviews, stock, production capacity
  • GA4-style web traffic, on-site search, product views

How it works

  • about — business context, fiscal calendar, traps
  • describe_table — schema, samples, column notes, patterns
  • query — read-only PostgreSQL, text-table results
  • lookup_saved_queries / crud_queries — shared SQL memory
  • Every call is logged against your key for the admin to see

Try asking

  • "How did like-for-like studio sales do last quarter vs last year?"
  • "Which print method has the best margin, and is DTF cannibalising DTG?"
  • "Why did returns spike in May 2024?"
  • "What are people searching for that we don't sell?"
  • "Was the paid-social campaign worth it?"

Streamable HTTP, stateless, JSON responses. Cursor, Windsurf and the MCP Inspector work the same way.
