chartlink is a service that turns your numbers into charts, maps and sortable tables, and gives you a link you can paste anywhere. This MCP server is how your AI assistant connects to it. It is handy if you make reports, dashboards or slides and you would rather describe what you want than click around in a chart tool.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper that gives your AI one extra skill or one extra connection. This helper connects your AI to chartlink, so when you ask for a chart, the AI can go to chartlink, pick a template, send your data and bring back a link. You never touch the helper yourself; your AI does.

What this MCP server does

You tell your AI what you want to show, for example a bar chart of monthly sales. The AI uses this helper to look through chartlink's templates and find one that fits. It sends your data and a few settings, like the theme and the labels. chartlink builds the chart and returns a preview and an embed link. Later, when your numbers change, you update the data and every place you pasted that link shows the new version.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Make a bar chart of our sales by month”, the chartlink MCP server connects it to chartlink, and you get back preview and a link you can paste.

Try asking your AI

“Make a bar chart of our sales by month from this list and give me a link I can paste into our report.”
“Turn these addresses into a map and send me the embed link.”
“Build a sortable table from this spreadsheet and show me a preview first.”
“Update the chart I made last week with this month's numbers.”

What it gives back to you

You get back a preview of the chart, map or table, plus a link you can paste into a page, a doc or a slide. The AI usually shows the preview right in the chat and gives you the link next to it. If you ask it to update an existing chart, it tells you the change went through and the link stays the same.
