# mcp

Turn JSON specs into charts, dashboards, or pages. Use it when an agent needs to render a visual and save it locally or publish it.

## What it does

mcp takes a JSON spec and renders charts, dashboards, and pages. The project lists 47 chart types, including scientific plots such as scatter and survival charts. Rendering the same spec produces the same bytes. Images are made as SVG and PNG without a headless browser.

In Claude Code, connect the server over HTTP or run it locally with `npx`. Local rendering works without an API key. Publishing a page and getting a permanent URL require an `SF-` key; published pages can later be found with `my_pages`. That distinction matters: local rendering does not grant access to page publishing.

Available MCP tools include `get_started`, `news`, `gallery`, and `render_chart`; pages use `render_page` and `publish_page`. To keep a page on disk, retain its JSON spec. Running the local option with `npx` requires Node.js and npm.

## When to use it
- render a chart from a JSON spec
- assemble a dashboard from several charts
- create a scientific plot
- save a page spec as JSON
- publish a page and get its URL

## Example prompts
- Render a chart from this JSON spec with `render_chart`.
- Show chart examples with `gallery`, then build a dashboard from my description.
- Render this page with `render_page` and keep its JSON spec.
