Verdict

Pick Vizro-MCP if you prefer its approach (mcp server that works alongside an llm to build validated vizro charts and dashboards).

Pick Memory (Knowledge Graph) if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you need the broadest set of tools.

Add Vizro-MCP

Install / run

uvx vizro-mcp

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vizro-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "vizro-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.

Add Memory (Knowledge Graph)

Install / run

npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory-knowledge-graph": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MEMORY_FILE_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/memory.jsonl"
      }
