Generate AntV charts and support data analysis.
GitHub source repository ↗
54FMRS · D
An MIT-licensed MCP server maintained by AntV, offering 26 chart, map, and table-generation tools with stdio, SSE, and Streamable transports. Its main limitations are China-only geographic visualization and the default dependency on a public chart-generation service.
MCP Server Chart is a TypeScript MCP server maintained by AntV. It provides more than 25 tools for generating charts, maps, diagrams, and tables, with support for data-analysis workflows. It uses the public AntV chart-generation service by default and can be configured to use a private service.

generate_mind_map
Generates a mind map showing thought processes and hierarchical information.
generate_network_graph
Generates a network graph showing relationships and connections between nodes.
generate_organization_chart
Generates an organizational chart showing organizational structure and personnel relationships.
generate_path_map
Generates a path map showing route-planning results for points of interest.
generate_pie_chart
Generates a pie chart showing proportions as sectors of a whole.
generate_pin_map

Setup
With Node.js available, add the client configuration using npx -y @antv/mcp-server-chart to start the stdio server. Alternatively, install it globally with npm install -g @antv/mcp-server-chart and run it with SSE or Streamable transport.
claude_desktop_config.json
{"mcpServers":{"mcp-server-chart":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@antv/mcp-server-chart"]}}}
Fit and risk
Not for
- Scenarios requiring maps outside China
- Private deployments that require geographic visualization tools
- Users who do not want requests sent to the default public chart-generation service
Required permissions
- The client must be able to launch npx or an installed MCP server process
- By default, network access to https://antv-studio.alipay.com/api/gpt-vis is required
- When configured, SERVICE_ID must be supplied; the manifest marks this variable as secret
- Private deployments require network access to the configured VIS_REQUEST_SERVER URL
Risks and side effects
- By default, chart requests are sent to the public AntV chart-generation service, so data sensitivity should be considered
- Geographic visualization currently supports maps within China only
- The private-deployment solution does not support geographic-district-map, geographic-path-map, or geographic-pin-map
- SERVICE_ID is used to track chart-generation records; mishandling it may affect record access or expose the identifier
- Client compatibility issues may require disabling specific tools with DISABLED_TOOLS
Troubleshooting
- Verify that the client command, arguments, and JSON configuration are correct
- Confirm that npx, Node.js, and network access are available
- For SSE, check http://localhost:1122/sse; for Streamable transport, check http://localhost:1122/mcp
- If the public service is unavailable, check whether VIS_REQUEST_SERVER points to an accessible service
- If the client has tool-compatibility issues, disable affected tools individually with DISABLED_TOOLS
- Restart the client after configuring SERVICE_ID and verify server connectivity and record access
