About Draw.io MCP Server (community)

This community Draw.io MCP server lets agents build diagrams live in Draw.io, through a built-in editor or a browser extension. It targets specific documents and pages across tabs, serialises operations per document so several agents can work at once, auto-discovers AWS, GCP, Azure and Cisco stencils, and can write its own config for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Zed and OpenCode.

Draw.io MCP Server (community) is an open-source project written primarily in TypeScript, with 1.5k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in September 2026.
