This server gives Claude direct access to the complete amCharts 5 library without flooding your context window. It exposes tools to search 140+ docs, pull from 280+ code examples, and query 1,000+ class API references on demand. Ask for a pie chart and it calls get_quick_start to grab a template. Need to format date axis labels? It searches across everything and returns just the relevant snippet. You can browse examples by category, pull specific integration guides for React or Vue, or look up class methods and events. It works through npx so setup is one line in your config. Useful if you're building charts and want the AI to reference actual amCharts patterns instead of hallucinating configuration syntax.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants on-demand access to the complete amCharts 5 knowledge base: 140+ documentation pages, 280+ code examples, and 1,000+ class API references.
Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code + GitHub Copilot, and any other MCP-compatible AI tool.
Instead of loading the entire amCharts reference into the AI's context window, the MCP server lets the AI query exactly what it needs — a specific chart type reference, a code example, or an API lookup. This means better answers with less context waste.
For all projects (global, recommended):
claude mcp add -s user amcharts5 -- npx -y @amcharts/amcharts5-mcp
For current project only:
claude mcp add amcharts5 -- npx -y @amcharts/amcharts5-mcp
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"amcharts5": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@amcharts/amcharts5-mcp"]
}
}
}
Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global):
{
"mcpServers": {
"amcharts5": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@amcharts/amcharts5-mcp"]
}
}
}
Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"amcharts5": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@amcharts/amcharts5-mcp"]
}
}
}
Create or edit .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:
{
"servers": {
"amcharts5": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@amcharts/amcharts5-mcp"]
}
}
}
For any other tool that supports MCP (Cline, Continue, Amazon Q, Zed, etc.), configure it to run:
npx -y @amcharts/amcharts5-mcp
git clone https://github.com/amcharts/amcharts5-mcp.git
cd amcharts5-mcp
npm install
npm start
