Troubleshooting MCP Server Chart in Windsurf

• Check npx @antv/mcp-server-chart (Node.js/npm) on the machine running Windsurf's MCP integration for MCP Server Chart; refresh MCP and inspect Cascade's tools.
• MCP Server Chart uses stdio here: Windsurf 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 Windsurf troubleshooting lives in the /clients/windsurf guide.
