Data Visualization MCP Server

Verified

remote-capable server

The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.

Integrations

  • Provides containerized deployment of the data visualization server, making it easy to run in isolated environments.

  • Powers data visualization through Vega-Lite syntax, allowing users to create customized charts and graphs from saved data tables.

Data Visualization MCP Server

Overview

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides the LLM an interface for visualizing data using Vega-Lite syntax.

Components

Tools

The server offers two core tools:

  • save_data
    • Save a table of data agregations to the server for later visualization
    • Input:
      • name (string): Name of the data table to be saved
      • data (array): Array of objects representing the data table
    • Returns: success message
  • visualize_data
    • Visualize a table of data using Vega-Lite syntax
    • Input:
      • data_name (string): Name of the data table to be visualized
      • vegalite_specification (string): JSON string representing the Vega-Lite specification
    • Returns: If the --output_type is set to text, returns a success message with an additional artifact key containing the complete Vega-Lite specification with data. If the --output_type is set to png, returns a base64 encoded PNG image of the visualization using the MPC ImageContent container.

Usage with Claude Desktop

# Add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json { "mcpServers": { "datavis": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/absolute/path/to/mcp-datavis-server", "run", "mcp_server_vegalite", "--output-type", "png" # or "text" ] } } }

Usage with uv

uv --directory /Users/markomitranic/Sites/mcp/mcp-vegalite-server run mcp_server_vegalite --output-type png

Usage with Docker

docker build -t mcp-server-vegalite . docker run -i --rm mcp-server-vegalite --output-type png
