MCP Server Chart

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/charts/funnel.ts:18-39 (schema)

  Input schema for the generate_funnel_chart tool, defining data (array of category-value pairs), optional style, theme, width, height, and title.

  const schema = {
    data: z
      .array(data)
      .describe(
        "Data for funnel chart, such as, [{ category: '浏览网站', value: 50000 }, { category: '放入购物车', value: 35000 }, { category: '生成订单', value: 25000 }, { category: '支付订单', value: 15000 }, { category: '完成交易', value: 8000 }].",
      )
      .nonempty({ message: "Funnel chart data cannot be empty." }),
    style: z
      .object({
        backgroundColor: BackgroundColorSchema,
        palette: PaletteSchema,
        texture: TextureSchema,
      })
      .optional()
      .describe(
        "Style configuration for the chart with a JSON object, optional.",
      ),
    theme: ThemeSchema,
    width: WidthSchema,
    height: HeightSchema,
    title: TitleSchema,
  };

• src/server.ts:66-68 (registration)

  MCP server registration for tools/list, which includes the generate_funnel_chart tool from Charts.funnel.tool if enabled.

  server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({
    tools: getEnabledTools().map((chart) => chart.tool),
  }));

• src/utils/callTool.ts:44-111 (handler)

  Handler function that validates input using the funnel schema, maps 'generate_funnel_chart' to 'funnel' chart type, generates chart URL via generateChartUrl, and returns MCP tool result.

  export async function callTool(tool: string, args: object = {}) {
    logger.info(`Calling tool: ${tool}`);
    const chartType = CHART_TYPE_MAP[tool as keyof typeof CHART_TYPE_MAP];
  
    if (!chartType) {
      logger.error(`Unknown tool: ${tool}`);
      throw new McpError(ErrorCode.MethodNotFound, `Unknown tool: ${tool}.`);
    }
  
    try {
      // Validate input using Zod before sending to API.
      // Select the appropriate schema based on the chart type.
      const schema = Charts[chartType].schema;
  
      if (schema) {
        // Use safeParse instead of parse and try-catch.
        const result = z.object(schema).safeParse(args);
        if (!result.success) {
          logger.error(`Invalid parameters: ${result.error.message}`);
          throw new McpError(
            ErrorCode.InvalidParams,
            `Invalid parameters: ${result.error.message}`,
          );
        }
      }
  
      const isMapChartTool = [
        "generate_district_map",
        "generate_path_map",
        "generate_pin_map",
      ].includes(tool);
  
      if (isMapChartTool) {
        // For map charts, we use the generateMap function, and return the mcp result.
        const { metadata, ...result } = await generateMap(tool, args);
        return result;
      }
  
      const url = await generateChartUrl(chartType, args);
      logger.info(`Generated chart URL: ${url}`);
  
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: url,
          },
        ],
        _meta: {
          description:
            "This is the chart's spec and configuration, which can be renderred to corresponding chart by AntV GPT-Vis chart components.",
          spec: { type: chartType, ...args },
        },
      };
      // biome-ignore lint/suspicious/noExplicitAny: <explanation>
    } catch (error: any) {
      logger.error(
        `Failed to generate chart: ${error.message || "Unknown error"}.`,
      );
      if (error instanceof McpError) throw error;
      if (error instanceof ValidateError)
        throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, error.message);
      throw new McpError(
        ErrorCode.InternalError,
        `Failed to generate chart: ${error?.message || "Unknown error."}`,
      );
    }
  }

• src/utils/callTool.ts:9-36 (helper)

  Mapping from tool name 'generate_funnel_chart' to internal chart type 'funnel' used in dispatch.

  const CHART_TYPE_MAP = {

    generate_boxplot_chart: "boxplot",
    generate_column_chart: "column",

  } as const;

• src/utils/generate.ts:12-39 (helper)

  Generates the chart URL by posting the chart type 'funnel' and options to the visualization server.

  export async function generateChartUrl(
    type: string,
    // biome-ignore lint/suspicious/noExplicitAny: <explanation>
    options: Record<string, any>,
  ): Promise<string> {
    const url = getVisRequestServer();
  
    const response = await axios.post(
      url,
      {
        type,
        ...options,
        source: "mcp-server-chart",
      },
      {
        headers: {
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
      },
    );
    const { success, errorMessage, resultObj } = response.data;
  
    if (!success) {
      throw new Error(errorMessage);
    }
  
    return resultObj;
  }
