@chartone/mcp

Branded chart rendering for AI agents. Hosted MCP, zero setup.

ChartOne MCP gives any AI agent the ability to produce themed charts and return them as both an inline image and a persistent hosted URL — perfect for emails, Slack messages, PDFs, and dashboards.

Install

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chartone": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@chartone/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CHARTONE_API_KEY": "sk-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Anonymous mode (no key) returns watermarked charts.

Tools

• render_chart — render a chart from explicit type, data, theme.

• suggest_chart — give it data + intent ("show quarterly trends"), it picks the chart type/theme and renders.

Both return an inline image plus a persistent hosted URL.
