ApexCharts MCP server

apexcharts-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants like Claude expert-level help with the ApexCharts ecosystem: charts, gantt, tree, sankey, grid, stock, and maps. It generates valid configs, catches common mistakes, and serves the official knowledge base for each product on demand, so the AI gets your visualization right the first time.

One MCP, seven products. Tools are namespaced per product (apexcharts, apexgantt, apextree, apexsankey, apexgrid, apexstock, apexmaps_*) so you can use any combination together.

Install

Pick your editor / client. You only need to do this once.

Hosted server (nothing to install)

The quickest way: point your client at the hosted server, https://mcp.apexcharts.com/mcp. It needs no Node.js and stays on the latest release.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http apexcharts https://mcp.apexcharts.com/mcp

Cursor, in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apexcharts": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apexcharts.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code, in .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "apexcharts": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.apexcharts.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Any other client that accepts a remote MCP server URL (Streamable HTTP) connects the same way. To run the server on your own machine instead, use one of the local installs below.

Claude Code

claude mcp add apexcharts -- npx -y apexcharts-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claudedesktopconfig.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apexcharts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "apexcharts-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apexcharts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "apexcharts-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

After installing, restart the client. Your AI assistant now has tools for every ApexCharts product, with no further commands needed.

What you can ask the AI

Once installed, the assistant uses the server's tools automatically. Things you can ask:

• "Build me a stacked area chart of monthly revenue across three regions."
• "Here's my pie chart config — why isn't it rendering?" (paste the config)
• "What data format does ApexGantt expect for dependencies?"
• "Show me the recursive node shape ApexTree uses."
• "How do I configure layer ordering in ApexSankey?"
• "Explain cellTemplate in apex-grid and give me an example."
• "Map unemployment by US state as a choropleth with ApexMaps."

The AI decides which tool to call. You don't invoke them directly.
