mcp-echarts has several significant advantages over using ECharts directly:
- natural language interface: Users can generate charts through natural language commands without having to master the complex configuration of ECharts.
- AI integration capabilities: Designed for AI applications, it supports seamless integration with all kinds of LLM models and can be used as the 'visualization brain' of AI
- automated process: Built-in syntax checking function, which can correct configuration errors through multiple rounds of dialog to improve generation accuracy
- Optimized transmission solutions: Integrated MinIO object storage converts charts to shareable URLs, avoiding Base64 bulk data transfer.
- Deployment flexibilitySupport stdio, SSE and streamable communication protocols to adapt to different integration scenarios.
It is essentially a friendlier and smarter middle layer built on top of ECharts, encapsulating technical complexity so that ordinary users can also enjoy professional-grade data visualization capabilities. It is particularly suitable for scenarios that require AI-assisted data analysis.
