What it does

Generates charts from data using AntV's grammar. Useful when the output of an analysis should be a picture rather than a table — a screenshot of a prompt result is often more convincing than numbers in chat. It renders static images, so treat the chart as a draft you might redraw.

Install

Terminal

npx -y @antv/mcp-server-chart

Client configuration

Paste this into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any client that reads mcpServers), then restart the client.

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "antv-chart": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@antv/mcp-server-chart"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Use it for

Turning a table into a chart image during analysis

Skip it if

Dashboards; this produces an image, not a maintained view

When to use it

Reach for this when the task needs charts inside the agent loop. Skip it if a plain shell command or a one-off script is enough — every server you add costs context and adds a failure mode.

Other TypeScript servers

Filesystem — Gives an agent scoped read, write, and search access to directories you explicitly allow
Memory — A persistent knowledge graph stored in a local JSON file, exposed through entities, relations, and observations
Sequential Thinking — Gives the model a scratchpad for structured, revisable reasoning: numbered thoughts that can branch, revise, and conclude
