## Audit Events
|
||||
|
||||
All MCP tool calls are logged to Superset's event logger, the same system used by the web UI (viewable at **Settings → Action Log**). Each event captures:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Action**: `mcp.<tool_name>.<phase>` (e.g., `mcp.list_databases.query`)
|
||||
- **User**: the resolved Superset username from the JWT or dev config
|
||||
- **Timestamp**: when the operation ran
|
||||
|
||||
This means MCP activity is auditable alongside normal user activity. No additional configuration is required — logging is on by default whenever the event logger is enabled in your Superset deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool Pagination
|
||||
|
||||
MCP list tools (`list_datasets`, `list_charts`, `list_dashboards`, `list_databases`) use **offset pagination** via `page` (1-based) and `page_size` parameters. Responses include `page`, `page_size`, `total_count`, `total_pages`, `has_previous`, and `has_next`. To iterate through all results:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Example: fetch all charts across pages
|
||||
all_charts = []
|
||||
page = 1
|
||||
while True:
|
||||
result = mcp.list_charts(page=page, page_size=50)
|
||||
all_charts.extend(result["charts"])
|
||||
if not result.get("has_next"):
|
||||
break
|
||||
page += 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
- **Use TLS** for all production MCP endpoints -- place the server behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS
