Zaturn: FOSS Data Analysis With Vibes

Proposal status is Rejected
Session Description

I'm the author of Zaturn, an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables data analysis using LLMs. Essentially, the MCP enables LLMs to draft and run SQL queries on any linked data sources, draw insights, and plot visualizations using the results.

Below is an outline of the proposed talk:

  • About the presenter

  • Quick demonstration of Zaturn

  • What is Zaturn

  • Common use cases, and supported data sources

  • How does it work (as an MCP)

  • What is an MCP and why use one for data analysis

  • Custom UI for Zaturn

  • LLMs that work best with Zaturn

  • Security & Best practices

  • Future directions

Key Takeaways

  • Learn how to instantly analyze any tabular data by talking to LLMs

  • Learn how to do this locally, without uploading datasets to any cloud-based SaaS application

I'm a full-stack engineer who removes drawers from work tables.

When I work from home, my work table is a 50-year-old antique. The only modification I made upon inheriting it is taking out the paper drawers to make more legroom. I build digital products to remove papers (and drawers) from offices and homes.


When I'm not working from home, I travel to new places and work remotely.
