The Grunt MCP Server lets compatible AI clients create and edit Grunt charts and tables through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You can use it to:
  • Create charts from structured data
  • Create formatted tables and visual grids
  • Update existing assets
  • Inspect an asset and compare versions
  • Preview and export your work

​
Before you begin

You need:
  • A Grunt account
  • An MCP client that supports remote servers, streamable HTTP, and OAuth
Connect your client to:
Your client prompts you to sign in before it can call Grunt tools.

​
Core capabilities

Create charts

Create bar, line, area, waterfall, pie/donut, scatter/bubble, mekko, dumbbell, and combined charts.

Create tables

Create formatted tables, scorecards, KPI matrices, and other visual grids.

Update assets

Reuse an assetId to update a chart or table while keeping its identity.

Inspect and compare

Read an asset’s structure and compare a known version with the latest version.

​
Asset versions

Create and update tools return an assetId and an assetCommit:
  • Use assetId for later edits to the same asset.
  • Use assetCommit to identify a specific version or check what changed.
These tools also return a preview and an exportGuideUrl you can use to open the asset in Grunt.
