-# bEvr Stack
+# MCP Data Visualization Lab
 
-A modern full-stack TypeScript monorepo with end-to-end type safety, using Bun,
-Effect, Vite, and React. Heavily inspired by the [bhvr](https://bhvr.dev/) stack
-but the addition of Effect and Turborepo. Includes a Model Context Protocol
-(MCP) server for AI assistant integrations.
+Generative UI for data visualization. This lab explores how MCP Apps and web
+components can give LLM chat applications first-class data visualization tools.
+The goal is to prove a white-label approach: a baseline chart library that can
+be branded and embedded into chat experiences.

-- **End-to-end TypeScript**: Full type safety from client to server
-- **Shared Domain**: Common types and utilities across all apps
-- **Effect Integration**: Built for composable, functional programming with
-  [Effect](https://effect.website)
-- **MCP Server**: [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)
-  server for AI assistant tools and resources
-- **Modern Tooling**: [Turborepo](https://turbo.build/), [Bun](https://bun.sh/),
-  [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/), and [React](https://react.dev/)
-- **Zero Config**: Pre-configured linting and formatting with
-  [Biome](https://biomejs.dev)
-- **Flexible Deployment**: Deploy anywhere without vendor lock-in
+## What This Lab Explores
+
+- MCP App patterns for data visualization in LLM chat
+- Web component chart primitives built with Plot
+- A white-label design system driven by host CSS variables
+- Composition between web components and visualization vocabularies
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Build web component charts with Plot
+2. Expose UI tools to LLMs for controlling and interacting with charts
+3. Create a design system that adapts to host interfaces
+4. Provide chart tools for:
+   - Line chart
+   - Bar chart
+   - Scatterplot
+5. Bonus: publish components as a package or registry
+
+## Achieved So Far
+
+- Bar chart MCP App widget
+- Line chart MCP App widget
+- Scatterplot MCP App widget
+- MCP server wiring to serve MCP Apps to chat clients
+
+## What’s Next
+
+- Expand the chart catalog (compositional layouts, multi-series, annotations)
+- Theming system based on host CSS variables
+- Connect to a real data source (Postgres-backed reporting dashboard)
+- Explore web component composition patterns for chart vocabularies
+
+## Side Quests
+
+- Build a separate MCP server for the reporting dashboard and connect it to chat
+- Prove a host-injected theming system for MCP Apps
+- Test composition patterns with Plot/D3 and vocabulary primitives
