Troubleshooting MCP Server Chart in Cursor

• Cursor must find npx @antv/mcp-server-chart (Node.js/npm) for MCP Server Chart. Enable the project/user entry in MCP settings and inspect its tools.
• MCP Server Chart uses stdio here: Cursor must keep the configured process running; protocol output belongs on stdout and diagnostics on stderr.
• Known limitation: Geographic generation is limited to China.
• Known limitation: The private rendering option does not support geographic tools.
• Known limitation: Generation history requires optional service-identifier setup; otherwise results must be saved manually.
• General Cursor troubleshooting lives in the /clients/cursor guide.
