What the publisher says
From the draw.io repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Draw.io MCP Server
The official draw.io MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables LLMs to create and open diagrams in the draw.io editor.
Four Ways to Create Diagrams
This repository offers four approaches for integrating draw.io with AI assistants. Pick the one that fits your setup:
MCP App Server
The MCP App server renders draw.io diagrams inline in AI chat interfaces using the MCP Apps protocol. Instead of opening a browser tab, diagrams appear directly in the conversation as interactive iframes.
The official hosted endpoint is available at:
https://mcp.draw.io/mcpAdd this URL as a remote MCP server in Claude.ai, Cursor, or any MCP Apps-compatible host — no installation required. On Claude.ai, draw.io is also listed in the connector directory and can be added from there in one click. In Cursor (≥ 2.6), diagrams render inline in the Agent chat (one-click install); on older builds, use the stdio @drawio/mcp tool server instead.
You can also run the server locally via Node.js or the jgraph/drawio-mcp Docker image, or deploy your own instance to Cloudflare Workers.
Tools:
- creatediagram** — Renders draw.io XML as an interactive diagram inline in chat
- searchshapes — Searches 10,000+ shapes across all draw.io libraries (AWS, Azure, GCP, P&ID, electrical, Cisco, Kubernetes, UML, BPMN, etc.) by keyword, supplemented by the draw.io icon service (brand logos and general-purpose concept icons) when the built-in libraries have no good match. Returns exact style strings that can be used directly in XML. Use this to find the correct shape before calling creatediagram.
Full documentation →
Note: Inline diagram rendering requires an MCP host that supports the MCP Apps extension. In hosts without MCP Apps support, the tool still works but returns the XML as text.
MCP Tool Server
The original MCP server that opens diagrams directly in the draw.io editor. Supports XML, CSV, and Mermaid.js formats with lightbox and dark mode options. Published as @drawio/mcp on npm.
Quick start: npx @drawio/mcp
Setup instructions are available for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Cursor (with one-click install), and OpenCode.
