README
Chart-Output MCP Server
Render charts as PNG, SVG, or WebP images directly from Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible AI agent.
Ask your AI: "Generate a bar chart showing Q1–Q4 revenue" — it calls Chart-Output and returns the image inline.
What it produces
Ask your AI agent to generate a chart. This is what comes back.

Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
render_chart |
Chart.js-style labels/datasets → inline image (optional extensions for partial dashboard fields) |
render_chart_url |
Same as render_chart → CDN URL instead of bytes |
render_card |
Full card composition JSON → inline image (header, KPI strip, footer, theme, backgroundColor, etc.); spec is POSTed verbatim to /api/v1/render |
render_chart_ai |
Natural language + data → image (Pro/Business key required) |
Example
Once installed, just ask your AI agent:
"Create a line chart showing monthly active users growing from 12k in January to 28k in December"
The agent calls render_chart, render_card, or render_chart_ai and returns
the image directly in chat. No code required. Use render_card for branded dashboard layouts (dark theme, KPI row, footer).
