chuk-view-schemas

Pydantic v2 schemas and FastMCP decorators for chuk-mcp-ui Views.

Build MCP Apps with interactive UI — charts, maps, tables, dashboards — from Python, with zero JavaScript.

Install

# Schemas only
pip install chuk-view-schemas

# With FastMCP decorator support
pip install chuk-view-schemas[fastmcp]

Quick Start

from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
from chuk_view_schemas.fastmcp import chart_tool
from chuk_view_schemas.chart import ChartContent, ChartDataset

mcp = FastMCP("my-server")

@chart_tool(mcp, "show_popularity")
async def show_popularity(chart_type: str = "bar") -> ChartContent:
    """Show programming language popularity as an interactive chart."""
    return ChartContent(
        chartType=chart_type,
        title="Language Popularity",
        data=[
            ChartDataset(
                label="Usage %",
                values=[
                    {"label": "Python", "value": 31.0},
                    {"label": "JavaScript", "value": 25.2},
                    {"label": "Rust", "value": 18.1},
                ],
            )
        ],
    )

The @chart_tool decorator handles:

• Registering the ui:// resource URI pointing to the hosted chart view
• Wrapping the return in a CallToolResult with content + structuredContent
• Generating a text fallback for the LLM

Schemas

All schemas are Pydantic v2 models with camelCase aliases for JSON serialization:

from chuk_view_schemas import (
    ChartContent, ChartDataset,
    MapContent, MapLayer,
    DataTableContent, Column,
    FormContent,
    DashboardContent, Panel,
    SplitContent, SplitPanel,
    TabsContent, Tab,
    MarkdownContent,
    VideoContent,
    PdfContent,
)

View Inference

Automatically suggest the best view for your data:

from chuk_view_schemas import infer_view

suggestion = infer_view([{"lat": 51.5, "lon": -0.1, "name": "London"}])
# ViewSuggestion(view="map", confidence=0.80, reason="Objects contain lat/lon fields")

Hosted Views

All views are pre-built and hosted at versioned URLs on Fly.io:

https://mcp-views.chukai.io/chart/v1
https://mcp-views.chukai.io/map/v1
https://mcp-views.chukai.io/datatable/v1
...

The decorators point at these URLs automatically. Your Python server never serves HTML.
