A sidebar that follows what you’re working on

The app sidebar now stays anchored to your top-level modules—Chat, Dashboards, Automations, Insights, and Data—while the list underneath it changes to match wherever you are. Open Dashboards and you’ll see your dashboard tree; jump to Automations and the sidebar shows your automations, right where you’d expect them. Your favorites stay pinned above the list no matter which module you’re in.

Settings now opens into its own focused navigation with a clear “Back to app” control, so you never lose your place. And for members, the Data section only surfaces the databases and sources you actually have access to, routing you straight to your first available connection.

Your dashboards stay full-screen

The AI chat panel used to reopen every time you loaded a page or switched sections, even after you’d deliberately closed it. Now your last choice sticks: close the panel and it stays closed across navigations, reloads, and sessions, so you can view a finished dashboard exactly the way you built it. When the panel is closed, a labeled “Chat” button in the header makes it easy to bring back whenever you want it.

Chat still shows up where it matters most. On an empty dashboard—where chat is the fastest way to build your first charts—the panel opens automatically, and explicit AI actions like “Fix with AI” still bring it forward.

Modern MCP and OAuth for connecting AI tools

Connecting AI clients to your Basedash data over MCP is now more modern and dependable. We moved to the latest MCP protocol revision, kept long-running requests alive so they don’t drop mid-flight, automatically negotiate protocol versions, and page through large tool lists cleanly.

Authentication got an upgrade too. We added support for OAuth Client ID Metadata Documents, and fixed the loopback OAuth flow so clients like Claude Code can connect without a hitch. Connections stay valid across token rotations, and setup errors now surface clearly when something needs your attention.

Fixes and improvements

  • Fixed public insights returning an error for charts whose SQL uses WINDOW or RETURNING.
  • Fixed chats failing when you attach a .sql file (and other text files) on OpenAI models.
  • Fixed chat responses that could abort mid-answer after an automatic retry.
  • Fixed charts briefly showing an error while a data source connection was still loading.
  • Fixed Slack reports and automations that kept failing when their channel was archived or deleted—Basedash now skips gracefully and lets you pick a new channel.
  • Fixed file attachment options appearing in chat when your zero-data-retention settings made them unavailable.
  • Removed a non-functional Microsoft Teams placeholder from organization settings.
  • Cleaned up the organization settings danger zone when deletion is locked by an active subscription.
