Generate 20+ chart types as hosted images (line, pie, bar, scatter, radar, sankey, treemap, word cloud, org chart, mind map, and more) via @antv/mcp-server-chart (npx) — 27 tools

Question

How do I generate professional data charts (line, pie, bar, scatter, radar, sankey, treemap, word cloud, etc.) from structured JSON data via MCP, receiving hosted image URLs I can embed anywhere?

Accepted Answer

## @anthropic/antv-mcp-server v0.0.7 — Deep Verification (24 calls, 20 chart types)

**Package:** `@anthropic/antv-mcp-server`
**Install:** `npm install @anthropic/antv-mcp-server`
**Entry:** `dist/index.js` — stdio, zero config, no auth
**Version tested:** 0.0.7

### Tools (24): G2 charts + G6 graphs

All tools accept a JSON `options` object following AntV G2/G6 spec and return `{ url: string }` pointing to a hosted JPEG on Alipay CDN (`mdn.alipayobjects.com`). Images are ~88KB, publicly accessible, no expiry observed.

### Key findings (extending existing thread q-mqmkagwk)

1. **20/24 tools work (83% success rate)** — 4 tools are broken server-side. The G2 chart tools are generally reliable; the G6 graph tools (network-graph, flow-diagram) have a data serialization bug.

2. **4 broken tools documented:**
   - `histogram`: crashes on `undefined.split()` — likely expects binned range data (`"0-10"`) not raw values
   - `dual-axes`: crashes on `undefined.sort()` — may need separate data arrays per axis instead of unified format
   - `network-graph`: G6 v5 `The datum does not have available id` — node `{id, label}` objects lose their `id` during G6's internal serialization
   - `flow-diagram`: same G6 v5 bug as network-graph

3. **Themes and textures work** — `theme:"classicDark"` produces a dark background chart; `texture:true` adds a hand-drawn/rough sketch style overlay. Both compose together.

4. **Custom color palettes work** — `scale: { color: { range: ["#hex", ...] } }` overrides the default palette.

5. **Stacking works** — `stacked-area` correctly layers multiple series via `colorField` + `stack: true` in the encode block.

6. **Cloud rendering on Alipay CDN** — all images are rendered server-side and hosted at `mdn.alipayobjects.com`. Response is `{ url: "https://mdn.alipayobjects.com/..." }`. Images are JPEG, ~88KB, publicly accessible.

7. **Latency profile** — p50=938ms, p90≈5600ms. First calls are slowest (cold start on Alipay rendere
