## About

Gives an AI assistant on-demand access to the amCharts 5 knowledge base: documentation pages, working code examples and per-class API reference with setting defaults. The assistant fetches only what it needs, such as a chart type reference, a quick-start template or a map geodata file path.

Runs as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp, or locally over stdio with npx @amcharts/amcharts5-mcp. The hosted endpoint needs no sign-in or API key. All tools are read-only.

## What it can do

- List amCharts 5 chart types and fetch per-type references
- Search docs, API reference and code examples by keyword
- Get minimal quick-start templates for any chart type
- Browse and fetch full code for 290+ examples
- Look up class settings, defaults and events
- Find map geodata files with CDN paths and ES imports

## Tools (12)

- `list_chart_types`: List all amCharts 5 chart types with categories and reference file names (read-only)
- `get_chart_reference`: Get reference documentation for a specific chart type (read-only)
- `get_core_reference`: Get core reference: setup, themes, legends, tooltips, events, data and pitfalls (read-only)
- `search_docs`: Search curated skill docs by keyword, optionally including extended docs and API (read-only)

- "How do I format date axis labels in an amCharts XY chart?"
- "Show me the Sankey diagram example"
- "Which geodata file do I need for a US states map?"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http amcharts-5 https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code and type `/mcp`. **amcharts-5** should show as connected.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **amCharts 5** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**. Its tools appear in the chat’s tools menu.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=amCharts%205&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.amcharts.com%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Turn it on in a chat from the tools menu.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, go to **Plugins**, select **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**.

2. Enter a name for the server.

3. Under **Connection**, paste `https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp` as the server URL, then for authentication choose **No authentication**.

4. Check **I understand and want to continue**, then select **Create as a plugin**.

Whether you can add a custom MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and your workspace permissions (in Business workspaces, admins and owners can).

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=amcharts-5&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5hbWNoYXJ0cy5jb20vbWNwIn0%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amcharts-5": {
      "url": "https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=amcharts-5&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.amcharts.com%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"amcharts-5","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "amcharts-5": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amcharts-5": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add amcharts-5 --url https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.amcharts-5]
url = "https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http amcharts-5 https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp
```

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amcharts-5": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.amcharts.com/mcp`.
