Hi,

I think the easiest way to convert metaball data, which in this case is your points is to use a marching cube algorithm(Cocoon). However this will produce a mesh, is that ok? if you want nurbs I am not quite sure how, maybe someone has a better idea.

You can download cocoon from here:  http://www.bespokegeometry.com/2015/07/22/cocoon/

And then follow this screenshot to recreate it yourself, given that it is what you wanted :) :
