# Awesome Dataviz for AI agents and developers

Give your assistant current facts about 291 data visualization tools, from ranking and activity to licenses and install commands, instead of whatever it remembers from training.

## MCP server

A remote [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server is available at `https://awesomedataviz.com/mcp` (Streamable HTTP, no authentication). It offers four read-only tools:

- `search_dataviz_tools`: find tools by need (“react network graph”, “python 3d”, “terminal charts”), optionally filtered by category, topic, language or maintenance status.

- `get_dataviz_tool`: everything about one tool, including stars, activity, license, install commands and alternatives.

- `compare_dataviz_tools`: two to five tools side by side.

- `list_dataviz_categories`: the categories and topics, with counts.

## JSON API

Read-only, CORS-enabled and free to use with attribution. Data is refreshed daily.

- [GET /api/tools.json](https://awesomedataviz.com/api/tools.json): every tool with its facts.

- `GET /api/tools/{slug}.json`: one tool, for example [/api/tools/chart-js.json](https://awesomedataviz.com/api/tools/chart-js.json).

- [GET /api/categories.json](https://awesomedataviz.com/api/categories.json) and [GET /api/topics.json](https://awesomedataviz.com/api/topics.json).

- [GET /api/search?q=react%20charts](https://awesomedataviz.com/api/search?q=react%20charts): ranked search, with optional `category`, `topic`, `language`, `status` and `limit` parameters.

A search result looks like this (abridged):

```
{
  "slug": "chart-js",
  "name": "Chart.js",
  "url": "https://awesomedataviz.com/tools/chart-js/",
  "description": "Charts with the canvas tag.",
  "category": "JavaScript charting libraries",
  "stars": 67733,
  "license": "MIT",
  "status": "active",
  "install": [
    "npm install chart.js"
  ]
}
```

## For crawlers and LLMs

- [/llms.txt](https://awesomedataviz.com/llms.txt) is an index of the site in the [llms.txt](https://llmstxt.org) format, and [/llms-full.txt](https://awesomedataviz.com/llms-full.txt) contains the whole directory as Markdown.

- Every page has a Markdown version: append `.md` to a tool, category or topic URL (for example [/tools/chart-js.md](https://awesomedataviz.com/tools/chart-js.md)), or request any page with `Accept: text/markdown`.

- The [sitemap](https://awesomedataviz.com/sitemap.xml) lists every page, and new tools are announced in the [Atom feed](https://awesomedataviz.com/feed.xml).
