    Convert a diagram image (flowchart, architecture diagram, org chart, network map — PNG/JPG/WebP file, screenshot, or whiteboard photo) into fully editable Visio (VSDX), PowerPoint (PPTX), draw.io, and SVG files. Every shape, connector, and label becomes a real editable object. Costs 10 LayerBack credits. Returns a job_id; by default waits for completion (~30-60s).

    Download one output of a finished LayerBack conversion to a local file. Formats: vsdx (Visio), pptx (PowerPoint), drawio, svg, ir (structured JSON), preview (PNG). Downloads are free and repeatable.

LayerBack MCP Server

Give your AI agent the one diagram skill it's missing: turning pictures of diagrams into fully editable files.

Agents can write Mermaid — but when the input is a screenshot, a whiteboard photo, or a diagram trapped in a PDF page, they're stuck. This MCP server connects any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, …) to LayerBack, which rebuilds every shape, connector, and label as a native object and returns Visio (VSDX), PowerPoint (PPTX), draw.io, and SVG — all editable, from one conversion.
