MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server for generating charts using QuickChart.io

This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that provides chart generation capabilities. It allows you to create various types of charts through MCP tools.

Overview

This server integrates with QuickChart.io's URL-based chart generation service to create chart images using Chart.js configurations. Users can generate various types of charts by providing data and styling parameters, which the server converts into chart URLs or downloadable images.

Features

Tools

generate_chart - Generate a chart URL using QuickChart.io
- Supports multiple chart types: bar, line, pie, doughnut, radar, polarArea, scatter, bubble, radialGauge, speedometer

Usage

Chart Configuration

{ "type": "bar", "data": { "labels": ["January", "February", "March"], "datasets": [{ "label": "Sales", "data": [65, 59, 80], "backgroundColor": "rgb(75, 192, 192)" }] }, "options": { "title": { "display": true, "text": "Monthly Sales" } } }

URL Generation

The server converts your configuration into a QuickChart URL:

https://quickchart.io/chart?c={...encoded configuration...}
