Values you fill in

DRILLFLOW_TOKEN secret env
A DrillFlow API token (Pro). Without it the server still publishes, but anonymously: the link is unowned, unlistable and expires after 72 hours, and every result says when.
DRILLFLOW_API_URL env
Override the API origin. Defaults to https://api.drillflow.de; only useful against staging.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is DrillFlow safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: DRILLFLOW_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (1.0.97) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

drillflow-mcp

An MCP server for DrillFlow — the diagram editor built around drill-down, where a node can own a whole sub-diagram you navigate *into*.

With this server an agent can turn a Mermaid flowchart into a real hierarchical diagram, publish it to a shareable read-only link, and read published diagrams back. Every subgraph becomes a subflow a reader can actually open, which is what a flat picture cannot do.

Install

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json) or any MCP host:

"mcpServers": { "drillflow": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "drillflow-mcp"], "env": { "DRILLFLOW_TOKEN": "dfp_…" } } } }

Claude Code:

claude mcp add drillflow --env DRILLFLOW_TOKEN=dfp_… -- npx -y drillflow-mcp

Node 20 or newer.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`publish_diagram`	Publishes a DrillFlow document, returns the share URL.
`publish_mermaid`	Converts a Mermaid flowchart (subgraphs → subflows) and publishes it.
`read_diagram`	Reads a published diagram back as its document — share URL, `@handle/name` address or slug.

Publishing puts the diagram on a public read-only URL that anyone holding the link can open. Nothing is published without the host asking you first.

Configuration

Variable	Meaning
`DRILLFLOW_TOKEN`	An API token from Your account → API tokens at app.drillflow.de. Optional.
`DRILLFLOW_API_URL`	Defaults to `https://api.drillflow.de`.

Without a token the server publishes anonymously, and says so in every result: nobody owns the link, it cannot be listed or revoked, and it stops working after 72 hours (the result names the exact time). With a token the link belongs to your account — listed under *My shared links*, renameable, revocable, no expiry.

Format

The document format is documented at https://drillflow.de/en/format/, with a JSON Schema at https://drillflow.de/schema/drillflow-document.schema.json. There is also a Claude Skill for generating DrillFlow diagrams: capydev42/drillflow-skill.

Building

This repository holds the server's own sources, which is what the MIT licence below covers. It is not a standalone build: the package bundles a few modules from the (closed-source) DrillFlow editor — the Mermaid importer and the document validator — so the published drillflow-mcp on npm is built from the DrillFlow repository, not from here. Install it with npx; read it here.

Licence

MIT — see LICENSE. This covers the MCP server in this repository, not the DrillFlow application.
