What is an MCP Server Chart?
MCP Server Chart is a visualization chart generation tool developed by the AntV team. Based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it supports over 25 types of visualization charts, including common statistical charts (such as line charts, bar charts, and pie charts) and relationship charts (such as organizational charts, mind maps, and network diagrams), and supports labeled maps and path maps. Users can quickly generate charts with simple text input, without complex operations. The tool supports multiple client integrations, such as Cherry Studio and Claude Desktop, and provides SSE and Streamable transmission protocols for easy integration into different platforms.
Main functions of MCP Server Chart
- Rich chart typesIt supports more than 25 types of visualization charts, covering common statistical charts (line charts, bar charts, pie charts, etc.), relationship charts (organizational charts, mind maps, network diagrams, etc.), as well as labeled maps and path maps.
- Simple and easy to useUsers can quickly generate the charts they need based on simple text input, without complicated operations and configurations, greatly reducing the barrier to data visualization.
- Multiple client accessIt supports access from multiple clients, such as Cherry Studio, Claude Desktop, and VSCode, making it convenient for users to use in different development environments.
- Flexible deployment methodsWhile providing public services, it also supports private deployment. Users can customize the chart generation service based on the VIS_REQUEST_SERVER environment variable to meet the needs of different users.
- View generated recordsIt provides a record viewing service, allowing users to generate personal service identifiers based on Alipay mini programs and view the generated chart records for easy management and traceability.
Technical Principles of MCP Server Chart
- Based on MCP protocolMCP Server Chart follows the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which clearly defines the tools, allowing the model to directly recognize and parse the parameters in the tools, enabling efficient data interaction and chart generation.
- GPT-Vis Visualization Component LibraryBased on the GPT-Vis visualization component library designed for AI consumption, it provides 25+ charts available for AI consumption. Combined with AntV's visualization solutions, the component library can quickly generate various types of charts.
- Server-side rendering (SSR)Based on the design of GPT-Vis and the server-side rendering (SSR) capabilities of G2 and G6, this project implements SSR rendering of charts into static images. Compared to front-end UI components, static images have better cross-platform and transmission characteristics, making them more suitable for display on different devices and platforms.
- Static chart generation toolThis tool encapsulates GPT-Vis SSR into a static chart generation tool, providing static chart output services. Internally, it's built using NodeJS, but externally it's accessible, allowing users to generate the charts they need through simple configuration and invocation.
- Supports multiple transmission protocolsIt supports multiple transmission protocols (such as stdio, SSE, and streamable), allowing users to choose the appropriate transmission method according to different use cases, thereby improving the system's flexibility and scalability.

Application scenarios of MCP Server Chart
- Data Analysis and ReportingUsed in enterprise data analysis, it can quickly generate statistical charts such as sales trends and market share to help management make decisions.
- Education and TrainingIt assists in teaching by generating timelines of historical events and charts of scientific experimental data to help students understand knowledge.
- project managementGenerate project schedule charts and task allocation charts to help project personnel understand the progress and coordinate their work.
- Geographic Information System (GIS)Generate labeled maps and route maps for use in displaying city landmarks and planning tourist routes.
- Individual and CreativityIt can be used by individuals to generate personalized charts on blogs and websites, such as reading records and fitness progress charts.
