Replit bought a charting startup and Basedash opened MCP write access on the same day.

Replit acquired Atta September 25 and shipped interactive charts in its agent chat for paid plans, with the agent picking chart types over BigQuery, Databricks and Snowflake connectors. Basedash exposed create_chart, edit_chart, create_dashboard and edit_dashboard over MCP, so Claude or Cursor can explore a schema, write and validate SQL, and pick the visualization. Microsoft's new Copilot Code generates interactive dashboards too. Standalone BI seats are getting squeezed from coding tools and BI vendors simultaneously.
