## What it does

The server hands your assistant the amCharts 5 reference on request: chart type docs, working examples, documentation pages and class APIs. Rather than stuffing the whole reference into the context window, the agent pulls only the piece it needs — a chart type, a starter template, or a class lookup.

A set of tools covers the ground. `get_quick_start` returns a minimal template for a chart type, `get_chart_reference` gives the full reference for one type, `search_all` searches docs and examples together, and `get_api_reference` shows a class's settings with their defaults, its events and the import line. There is also `list_geodata` for finding map files — world, continents, countries, regional packs — with each file's CDN path and import options.

Two ways to connect. The hosted server needs just one URL, `https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp`, and nothing installed. The local option runs through `npx -y @amcharts/amcharts5-mcp` over stdio. Clients that only speak local servers reach the hosted one through the `npx mcp-remote https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp` bridge.
