Verdict

Pick Jupyter MCP Server if you prefer its approach (connect ai to jupyter notebooks in real-time — run cells, read outputs, and manage multiple notebooks).

Pick MCP Server Chart if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you want zero-setup with no API key.

Add Jupyter MCP Server

Install / run

uvx jupyter-mcp-server@latest

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jupyter-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "jupyter-mcp-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JUPYTER_URL": "http://localhost:8888",
        "JUPYTER_TOKEN": "MY_TOKEN",
        "ALLOW_IMG_OUTPUT": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.

Add MCP Server Chart

Install / run

npx -y @antv/mcp-server-chart

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-chart": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@antv/mcp-server-chart"
      ]
    }
  }
}
