Diagram showing Claude, Context7, and AnyChart connected with arrows, above multiple devices displaying JavaScript charts, illustrating AI-assisted data visualization developmentAt AnyChart, we are constantly exploring tools and workflows that help developers work more efficiently, stay up to date, and minimize friction when integrating data visualization into their projects.

One approach we’ve recently tested โ€” and found highly effective โ€” is connecting Claude to Context7 via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This integration gives Claude access to a continuously updated, extensive database of technical documentation across libraries, packages, and APIs.
