API Reference

Tools Available

All chart types are available as MCP tools with the following pattern:

• Tool name matches chart type (e.g., bar, line, ohlc)
• Input schema validates chart configuration
• Returns generated chart data

Schema Validation

Every chart type includes comprehensive Zod schemas that validate:

• Chart type and structure
• Data format and types
• Styling options
• Chart-specific configurations
