# How to Build Dashboard Visuals with Claude

Claude turns chart creation into a terminal-native data visualization workflow where you can experiment rapidly. Pass in your numbers, describe the insight you want to highlight, and iterate on chart type, color scheme, and layout within the same session. The conversational loop lets you try different visualization approaches -- swap a bar chart for a line graph, adjust the scale, add annotations -- until the chart tells exactly the right story for your audience without round-tripping through a separate design tool.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Create a dashboard-style chart showing daily active users for the past 30 days"
3. Claude generates a clean, dashboard-ready visualization
4. Ask: "Now create a conversion funnel chart: Visitors 10K, Signups 2.1K, Active 890, Paid 340"

## Example Prompt

```
Create a set of dashboard charts: 1) Line chart of daily active users trending up from 8K to 12K over 30 days. 2) Pie chart of traffic sources. 3) Bar chart of feature usage. Use a dark dashboard theme.
```

## Tips

- Request a consistent theme across all dashboard charts for a cohesive look
- Ask Claude to generate compact, information-dense charts optimized for dashboard tiles
