Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "umlforge": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "umlforge"
      ],
      "env": {
        "UMLFORGE_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add umlforge --env UMLFORGE_API_KEY=your-value -- uvx umlforge

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "umlforge": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "umlforge"
      ],
      "env": {
        "UMLFORGE_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }

  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "umlforge": {

Common questions

Is UML Forge safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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: UMLFORGE_API_KEY

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 –, and the latest version (0.4.0) reached the registry 21 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

UML Forge MCP Connector

Architecture intelligence, security analysis, and living documentation — inside your coding agent.

UML Forge gives Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible coding agent a suite of 15 tools (14 diagram tools plus umlforge_get_result) for producing professional UML diagrams from your codebase, schema, or architecture descriptions.

Quick start

Claude Code:

"mcpServers": { "umlforge": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["umlforge"], "env": { "UMLFORGE_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }

Cursor / Windsurf — add the same block to your MCP settings.

Get your API key at umlforge.dev.

Tools included

Tool	Description
`umlforge_suggest`	Start here. Describe your goal in plain English — returns the right tool and a ready-to-run call
`umlforge_reverse_engineer`	Class, sequence, and state diagrams from a codebase or GitHub URL
`umlforge_api_sequence`	Sequence diagrams for request flows across services
`umlforge_erd_schema`	Entity-relationship diagrams from domain descriptions or SQL schemas
`umlforge_state_machine`	State diagrams from entity lifecycles and business rules
`umlforge_frontend_components`	Component hierarchy and interaction diagrams for UI features
`umlforge_deployment`	Infrastructure and CI/CD pipeline diagrams
`umlforge_threat_model`	STRIDE threat model + attack surface diagram
`umlforge_event_driven`	Event flow and pub/sub architecture diagrams
`umlforge_ai_agent`	Agent topology and tool-call flow diagrams for LLM pipelines
`umlforge_stakeholder_arch`	C4 context diagrams for investors, CTOs, and non-technical stakeholders
`umlforge_living_docs`	Update existing diagrams to reflect sprint or PR changes
`umlforge_onboarding`	Day-one knowledge-transfer package for new team members
`umlforge_legacy_migration`	Legacy structure + modern architecture diagrams and 6-phase migration roadmap from COBOL, Fortran, ABAP, RPG, and other legacy languages
`umlforge_get_result`	Retrieve a generation that was still running (see Long-running generations)

All diagram tools accept report_mode=True to generate a written analysis report alongside the diagram. Leave report_mode unset to follow your account's saved preference (the dashboard toggle); report_mode=False forces diagrams only.

Long-running generations

A detailed diagram can take a minute or two, and some MCP clients cancel any tool call after about 60 seconds. UML Forge tools therefore wait up to 45 seconds for the result. If a diagram is still generating, the tool replies with a job id and umlforge_get_result retrieves it when it is ready (results are kept for one hour). Clients with longer timeouts can wait longer by setting UMLFORGE_WAIT_SECONDS (5-200) in the env block of your MCP configuration.
