Provides flowchart capabilities through a typed MCP contract.
flowchart-mcp-server
32 MCP tools for authoring diagrams and exporting them to draw.io (diagrams.net mxGraph XML), Mermaid, Graphviz DOT, SVG, PDF, and JSON — plus Mermaid import. Multi-page documents, swimlanes & nested containers, rich…
What it gives an agent
A purpose-built capability behind one MCP connection.
The server owns its domain logic and publishes a tool contract an MCP client can discover. ADK-Rust can load that contract into an agent, normalize each schema for the chosen model provider, and keep the connection lifecycle outside the agent’s business logic.
Architecture
How flowchart-mcp-server fits into an agent system.
The model never needs the implementation details or credentials of the system behind the server. It sees reviewed tool definitions. The MCP client handles discovery and calls, while the server keeps ownership of validation, policy, and communication with its domain system.
ADK-Rust agent
Chooses a capability from the reviewed tool catalog.
MCP client
Discovers schemas, sends calls, and receives typed content.
flowchart-mcp-server
Validates the request and owns 40 documented tool contracts.
Domain system
Keeps the API, data, credentials, and business rules behind the server.
This repository does not currently publish a dedicated architecture SVG. The integration diagram above is generated from its documented transport and server boundary; use the official README for implementation-specific details.
Tool catalog
What can an agent ask flowchart-mcp-server to do?
Each tool has a stable name, a human-readable purpose, and a JSON input contract discovered during MCP initialization. Risk classes come from the project’s registry manifest when one is available.
40 named tools
create_flowchartCreate a new flowchart (direction TB/BT/LR/RL, optional template). Returns a handle.
read onlylist_templatesList available flowchart templates for create_flowchart.
read onlyclose_flowchartClose a flowchart and free its memory.
read onlydescribe_flowchartDescribe a flowchart: direction, title, and full node/edge/subgraph listing with edge indexes.
read onlyadd_nodeAdd a node with a shape (13 presets) and optional fill/stroke/text_color/stroke_width.
read onlyupdate_nodeUpdate a node's label and/or shape.
read onlystyle_nodeSet a node's visual style (fill/stroke/text_color/stroke_width, font, bold/italic, align, opacity, rounded, shadow, dashed).
read onlyset_node_imageSet or clear a node's image (path or URI), rendering it as an image shape.
read onlyset_node_stencilSet or clear a node's draw.io stencil (catalog key like 'aws.ec2' or raw mxgraph.* token). Renders in the drawio export.
read onlylist_stencilsList built-in draw.io stencils (AWS/Azure/GCP/network/Kubernetes/UML/BPMN/mockup), filterable by category and query.
read onlyremove_nodeRemove a node and every edge touching it.
read onlymove_nodeManually place/size a node (x+y and/or w+h in canvas pixels), overriding auto-layout; clear returns it to auto.
read onlyGovernance
Understand the effect of every tool.
A server connection inherits the authority of its credentials and deployment environment. The declarations below come from this project’s README and MCP registry manifest; your application still decides which tools an agent receives and where approval is required.
- The registry manifest declares read only, local write tool risk classes.
MCP surface
What the current documentation declares.
MCP can carry tools, resources, prompts, structured results, progress, cancellation, and long-running work. This record highlights the modern protocol features explicitly mentioned by this repository.
Install and connect
Follow the project’s documented starting point.
Install the server in the environment that owns its credentials and domain access. Add it to your MCP host, verify the discovered tools, and narrow the toolset before giving it to a production agent.
cargo install flowchart-mcp-server{
"mcpServers": {
"flowchart": {
"command": "flowchart-mcp-server"
}
}
}Commands and configuration are extracted from the public README. Confirm prerequisites, environment variables, and release-specific options in the official documentation before deployment.
