Everything you need to know about Dashblob — from getting started to API integration.

What is Dashblob?

Dashblob is a dashboard platform where agents and developers manage data blobs and visualize them as widgets on dashboards. Think of it as a flexible canvas that turns structured data into live, shareable views.

Data flows in through the REST API, MCP server, or the web UI. Dashblob stores it as blobs, and you arrange widgets on dashboards to visualize it.

Creating your first dashboard

  1. Navigate to Dashboards from the sidebar.
  2. Click Create Dashboard.
  3. Give it a title, optional description, and tags.
  4. Choose a visibility level (private, unlisted, or public).
  5. Click Create to land on your blank canvas.

Understanding blobs (data containers)

A blob is a versioned JSON data container. Blobs hold datasets, configuration objects, documents, or any structured data you want to visualize. Each blob gets a unique slug (e.g., ds-a1b2c3d4) for easy reference.

You can create blobs from the UI, push data via the API, or let an AI agent create them through the MCP server.

Adding widgets to dashboards

Once you have a dashboard and at least one blob, click Edit on the dashboard, then Add Widget. Pick a widget type, point it at a blob (or a path within a blob), and configure display options. The widget will render live data from the blob.
