Ran into the same issue myself, and found the answer when poking through the Github repo. You need to add the namespaces to Chart.Mvc in the /Views/web.config file.

See the author’s /Views/web.config file for reference.

<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
  <namespaces>
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Optimization"/>
    <add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
    <add namespace="Chart.Mvc.Sample" />
    <add namespace="Chart.Mvc" />
    <add namespace="Chart.Mvc.ComplexChart" />
    <add namespace="Chart.Mvc.SimpleChart" />
    <add namespace="Chart.Mvc.Sample.Models" />
    <add namespace="Chart.Mvc.Extensions"/>
  </namespaces>
</pages>

Adding the reference in the Vies/web.config file helped to get rid of the compilation error, I still do not get the chart displayed on the web page

Got it working and displaying by including the namespaces and adding the reference to Chart.js.

Also the namespaces can be included in the razor view directly.

@using Chart.Mvc;
@using Chart.Mvc.Extensions;
@using System.Web.Mvc;
@using System.Web.Mvc.Ajax;
@using System.Web.Mvc.Html;
@using System.Web.Optimization;
@using System.Web.Routing;
@using Chart.Mvc;
@using Chart.Mvc.ComplexChart;
@using Chart.Mvc.SimpleChart;


@Scripts.Render("~/scripts/Chart.js")
