Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
MCP Echarts Tools (18)
generate_echarts
Generate visual charts using Apache ECharts with echarts option and configuration dynamically. Apache ECharts is an Open Source JavaScript Visualization Library, which is used to create interactive charts and visualizations in web applications. It supports a wide range of chart types, including line charts, bar charts, pie charts, scatter plots, and more. ECharts is highly customizable and can be integrated with various data sources to create dynamic visualizations.
generate_area_chart
Generate an area chart to show data trends under continuous independent variables and observe the overall data trend, such as, displacement = velocity (average or instantaneous) × time: s = v × t. If the x-axis is time (t) and the y-axis is velocity (v) at each moment, an area chart allows you to observe the trend of velocity over time and infer the distance traveled by the area's size.
generate_line_chart
Generate a line chart to show trends over time, such as, the ratio of Apple computer sales to Apple's profits changed from 2000 to 2016.
generate_bar_chart
Generate a bar chart to show data for numerical comparisons among different categories, such as, comparing categorical data and for horizontal comparisons.
