🚧This is an internal UI component. It is called automatically by the Platform MCP server — do not call it directly.

show-chart renders a chart or graph in the chat interface, letting users see a visual breakdown of their data. The MCP server invokes this tool automatically when a user asks for a pie chart, bar chart, data visualization, or any graphical representation of numeric data derived from their boards.

The chart accepts an array of data points, each with a label and a numeric value. You can optionally specify a color per data point and add a title to the chart.

Parameters

Example

Render a pie chart showing the distribution of item statuses on a board:

{
  "type": "pie",
  "title": "Sprint Status Breakdown",
  "data": [
    { "name": "Done", "y": 14, "color": "#00ca72" },
    { "name": "In Progress", "y": 7, "color": "#fdab3d" },
    { "name": "Stuck", "y": 3, "color": "#e2445c" },
    { "name": "Not Started", "y": 6, "color": "#c4c4c4" }
  ]
}

Render a bar chart comparing item counts across groups:

{
  "type": "bar",
  "title": "Items by Group",
  "data": [
    { "name": "Backlog", "y": 22 },
    { "name": "In Development", "y": 10 },
    { "name": "QA", "y": 5 },
    { "name": "Done", "y": 18 }
  ]
}

Programmatic equivalent

There is no direct API equivalent for rendering a chart — this component is specific to the MCP chat interface. To retrieve the underlying data for your own charting, query the board items and aggregate column values using the monday.com GraphQL API. See the monday.com API reference for available queries.
