Verification gaps / watch-outs

Publisher setup evidence: chart generation uses a remote rendering service by default. Avoid private data; retention and hosted authentication remain unknown.
Processes data supplied to chart/data tools. Writes: Creates generated visualization outputs.
No built-in auth was established for a self-hosted remote endpoint.
Sensitive access: Any data supplied for visualization

Core chart generation is comparatively bounded, but remote deployment should still be protected if it processes sensitive data.

All limitations / Review context

Which chart types and data-analysis tools remain available through MCP?

The bounded assessment reviewed the official README, repository notices, security policy path, and security page for known material public-tracking blockers. No such blocker was identified. This is a public-tracking assessment, not an installation safety certification.

Install & Agents

Publisher instructions.

Source evidence observed Oct 12, 2026.

Additional setup details required — see the specific gaps below.

Install / connect
Publisher instructions
Register stdio MCP config: `command: npx`, `args: ["-y","@antv/mcp-server-chart"]`. For hosted SSE run `npm install -g @antv/mcp-server-chart` and `mcp-server-chart --transport sse` then add the local endpoint separately. The Skill is a different artifact.
npm install -g @antv/mcp-server-chart
Configure / authenticate
Publisher instructions
For JSON-capable MCP clients, use the official mcpServers.mcp-server-chart config with npx -y @antv/mcp-server-chart. The separately advertised chart-visualization skill is NOT required to run the MCP server; HTTP transport configuration is a different mode.
Advanced configuration · claude desktop json
{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-server-chart": { "args": [ "-y", "@antv/mcp-server-chart" ], "command": "npx" } } }
Check connection
Suggested check
Confirm mcp-server-chart tools appear in your client. Optionally generate a chart from disposable non-sensitive sample data; generated assets may be written/hosted depending on deployment configuration.
Remove / uninstall / revoke
MCP100 setup guide
Remove only `mcp-server-chart` from your MCP client configuration and reload. If you globally installed the package solely for this server, `npm uninstall -g @antv/mcp-server-chart`; stop any independently running HTTP/SSE server as well.
npm uninstall -g @antv/mcp-server-chart

Official Documentation & Sources

What it does

MCP Server Chart exposes AntV-based chart generation and data-analysis capabilities to MCP clients.

Capability: Design & Creative

Reviewed access

Access & risk

Review the exact access boundary before connecting this MCP to accounts, credentials, or sensitive data.

Authentication: No built-in auth was established for a self-hosted remote endpoint.
Permissions: Processes data supplied to chart/data tools.
Data handling: Chart inputs are processed by the running server; remote deployment handling depends on operator configuration.
Cost: free
Risk and cautions: Core chart generation is comparatively bounded, but remote deployment should still be protected if it processes sensitive data.

Risk level: low

FAQ

Based on reviewed evidence as of 2026-10-06. Watchlist tracking is not a recommendation or a security certification.

Which tasks are documented for this implementation?

The reviewed tasks include: Generate common chart types; Visualize supplied data; Run through stdio or remote transport; Limit exposed tool sets.

What setup and authentication are documented?

Recorded installation/entrypoint step: npx -y @antv/mcp-server-chart. Recorded transport: stdio, sse, streamable_http. Prerequisites: Node.js/npm. These are the documented setup details, not a claim that installation or client compatibility was independently tested. Authentication: No built-in auth was established for a self-hosted remote endpoint.

Can it modify data or perform write operations?

Documented write actions include: Creates generated visualization outputs. Recorded permission boundary: Processes data supplied to chart/data tools.

What data-handling boundary should I consider?

Chart inputs are processed by the running server; remote deployment handling depends on operator configuration. Recorded sensitive-access context: Any data supplied for visualization.

What limitations and risks should I check before use?

Core chart generation is comparatively bounded, but remote deployment should still be protected if it processes sensitive data. Hosted authentication/data-retention behavior is not documented in the reviewed source. A project-specific SECURITY.md policy was not available at the fetched official path; the review remains limited to published repository notices.
