Metabase content to nao

Use the nao CLI as the only source for exported Metabase content, then use nao MCP to execute SQL and produce the requested charts or stories.

Choose delivery

Determine the output before processing:

1. Follow explicit user intent:
   • Requests to show, render, or recreate a chart or question use chart delivery.
   • Requests for a dashboard, report, story, preserved layout, or shareable narrative use story delivery.
2. Without an explicit output:
   • One standalone question defaults to one chart.
   • Multiple unrelated questions default to separate charts.
   • A dashboard defaults to one story because its visualizations, layout, tabs, text, and filters belong together.
   • A collection or multiple dashboards defaults to one story per dashboard.
3. Ask whether to create separate charts or a consolidated story only when several questions could reasonably form one report.

Never create a story solely to display one chart. Use a story when the prompt or source requires coordinated visualizations, narrative, layout, tabs, filters, or a durable shareable report.
