From the repository

Install with npm install semiotic and connect to the MCP server using npx semiotic-mcp. The server exposes five tools for schema retrieval, chart recommendation, rendering, configuration diagnosis, and issue reporting.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

Where to find Semiotic for AI assistants

Semiotic is indexed by AI-coding-agent documentation tools so your assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Copilot, etc.) can pull current docs and tools without copy-paste:

- Context7—context7.com/nteract/semiotic(configured viacontext7.json)
- DeepWiki—deepwiki.com/nteract/semiotic
- GitMCP—gitmcp.io/nteract/semiotic(exposes the repo as an MCP endpoint directly)
- Official MCP Registry— search "semiotic" at registry.modelcontextprotocol.io

The Official MCP Registry is the canonical MCP directory record; it is distinct from acceptance into any assistant vendor's curated connector directory. Secondary-directory freshness and release ownership are tracked in MCP_DISTRIBUTION.md.

- AGENTS.mdis the concise repository development contract andCLAUDE.mdimports it for Claude Code. These stay repository-local rather than shipping irrelevant contributor instructions to package consumers.
- ai/reference.md,ai/schema.json,ai/surface-manifest.json,ai/behaviorContracts.cjs, andagent-skill/semiotic-charts/SKILL.mdare bundled in the npm tarball (seepackage.json#files). The reference is the on-demand product guide printed bynpx semiotic-ai; the schema, manifest, contracts, and portable skill provide structured generation and validation guidance.
- semiotic.nteract.io/llms.txt+/llms-full.txt— deployed at the docs site per the llms.txt standard. Agents fetch the navigation map (llms.txt) or the full inlined docs (llms-full.txt) over HTTP; they're not part of the npm package itself.
