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.

Why each score

Reliability 9/20: The static material shows an npm package using stdio and documents additional CLI transports, while the README lists 26+ tools. However, no source files, tests, CI contents, or evidence of an actual initialization/tool-list handshake are provided; manifest versions remain placeholders, and core chart generation depends on an external HTTP service. The happy path is plausible, but error handling, dependency control, and consistency between declared tools and behavior are unverified, so substantial points are deducted.
Security and permissions 8/20: The manifest explicitly discloses an external default service at antv-studio.alipay.com and marks SERVICE_ID as secret, but it does not explain chart-input data boundaries, retention, authentication, or least-privilege controls. The functionality is chart generation, with no evidence of malware, credential theft, or dangerous irreversible operations, so no red-line penalty applies. Nevertheless, external network use and possible data exposure are insufficiently controlled and lack clear confirmation or scoping mechanisms.
Maintenance 10/20: The repository is not archived, provides an MIT license, and exposes build, npm, and codecov project-status links, which are basic maintenance signals. The supplied material does not provide verifiable release history, commit cadence, dependency-update policy, issue-response evidence, or a security-response channel. Stars, issue counts, and badges cannot establish sustained maintenance, so the score remains moderate.
Documentation 14/20: The README covers installation, mainstream-client configuration, CLI options, environment variables, tool names, private deployment, transports, geographic limitations, and development commands. Points are deducted because verifiable tool-parameter schemas, authentication and permission guidance, cost or quota information, data-boundary disclosure, troubleshooting, and version-pinning guidance are missing; version placeholders also leave some uncertainty.
Setup experience 13/20: The README provides npx configurations, macOS and Windows examples, stdio/SSE/Streamable options, ports, and endpoints, making the mainstream setup path clear. Points are deducted because installation depends on runtime network access and a default external service, versions are not pinned, no source-verifiable startup or client-handshake tests are supplied, and failure diagnosis and platform prerequisites are only lightly covered.

Fit and risk

What it can accessUses the network

Best for

Users who need rapid AntV chart generation from an MCP client
Workflows combining chart generation with basic data analysis
Geographic visualization scenarios limited to China

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

Setup

Before you start

Runtime：Node.js · Docker

SERVICE_ID optionalsecret Optional secret used to track chart generation records; generate it in the Alipay mini program under 'My Services'.

Other optional settings (2)

VIS_REQUEST_SERVER optional Optional, custom chart generation service URL for private deployment (e.g. self-hosted GPT-Vis-SSR); defaults to the public AntV service.

DISABLED_TOOLS optional Optional comma-separated list of tool names to disable.

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"]}}}

Shown for Claude Desktop. Other clients may use a different file or key (VS Code uses "servers") — the configurator below converts it.

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Goes in your project's .vscode/mcp.json (VS Code uses a "servers" key).

Terminal

claude mcp add mcp-server-chart -- npx -y @antv/mcp-server-chart

Run it in a terminal; replace any <…> placeholders with your own values first.

Generate and validate client config

Check that it works

After connecting, tools like generate_line_chart and generate_pie_chart should appear in the client's tool list; asking for a simple line chart that returns a chart image URL confirms the connection works.

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

Plot this monthly sales data as a line chart
