Common questions

Is Archboard 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.64.0) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Archboard plugin

Archboard is a hosted diagram workspace for architecture, Kubernetes, C4, flowcharts, ER diagrams, mind maps and boards. This repository connects AI apps to the Archboard MCP server, so an assistant can read, create and edit diagrams on the same live canvas your team uses. Every node has a type from a node pack, so the result stays a structured diagram that people keep editing, not a static picture.

MCP server: https://getarchboard.app/mcp (remote, Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1)
Docs: getarchboard.app/docs/mcp · setup guides per app: getarchboard.app/integrations
MCP Registry name: app.getarchboard/archboard

This repository holds configuration files, one skill written in Markdown, and images. It contains no code and runs nothing on your computer.

Install

Each line is one step. The first time a tool is used, the app opens the Archboard sign-in in your browser (see Sign-in and access). If you already added Archboard from your app's connector directory, there is no need to add it again here.

App	Install
Claude (web, desktop, mobile)	Add custom connector (Customize → Connectors, URL `https://getarchboard.app/mcp`)
Claude Code (plugin with skill)	`claude plugin install archboard --marketplace getarchboard/archboard-plugin`, then `/mcp` → `plugin:archboard:archboard` to sign in
Claude and Cowork (plugin with skill)	Customize → Plugins → Add marketplace `getarchboard/archboard-plugin`, then connect Archboard from the plugin's Connectors tab
Claude Code (server only)	`claude mcp add --transport http --scope user archboard https://getarchboard.app/mcp`, then `claude mcp login archboard`
Cursor	Add to Cursor
VS Code	`code --add-mcp '{"name":"archboard","type":"http","url":"https://getarchboard.app/mcp"}'`
Gemini CLI (extension)	`gemini extensions install https://github.com/getarchboard/archboard-plugin`
Antigravity (plugin with skill)	`agy plugin install https://github.com/getarchboard/archboard-plugin`, then Customizations → Installed → Archboard → MCP → Authenticate
Codex (0.147.0 or later)	`codex mcp add archboard --url https://getarchboard.app/mcp`
GitHub Copilot CLI	`copilot mcp add --transport http archboard https://getarchboard.app/mcp`
Grok (web)	grok.com/connectors → New Connector → Custom, URL `https://getarchboard.app/mcp`
Grok Build	`grok mcp add --transport http archboard https://getarchboard.app/mcp`
Kiro	Add to Kiro
Other MCP apps	Remote server URL `https://getarchboard.app/mcp`, transport Streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in

Sign-in and access

Sign-in uses OAuth 2.1 (authorization code with PKCE). Apps register with a Client ID Metadata Document or dynamic client registration. People sign in to Archboard with Google or GitHub.
On the consent screen you choose which organizations and workspaces the app can reach, and whether it may read, edit or delete there. Deleting moves a diagram to the trash, where it can be restored.
You can change or remove an app's access at any time under Settings → Connected apps in Archboard. Removing it disconnects the app right away.
The app's cursor on the canvas is labeled with the app's name and the person it acts for.

Example prompts

Create a new Archboard diagram called "Checkout service" showing a web app, an API gateway, an orders service, a payments service and a Postgres database, with labeled connections.
Turn this Mermaid flowchart into an Archboard diagram: flowchart LR; Signup --> Verify{Email verified?}; Verify -->|yes| Onboarding; Verify -->|no| Reminder
List my Archboard diagrams and summarize the most recently updated one.
In the "Checkout service" diagram, add a Redis cache between the orders service and the database, then show me a snapshot.
Export the "Checkout service" diagram as an SVG and give me the download link.

Limits

Plan limits are the same as in the Archboard editor. On the Free plan: 3 diagrams, and per diagram 15 diagram nodes plus 150 notes, text, drawings, stickers and mind map topics. Plan details: getarchboard.app/pricing.
Per diagram: 2,000 nodes and connections, 5 MiB of images, 4 MiB of other content. Per call: 10,000 operations, 6 MiB.
Tool calls are rate-limited per user and per token. When a limit is reached, the server returns a short message that says which limit applies.

Data and privacy

Your AI app talks to one server: https://getarchboard.app/mcp. Diagrams, your account and the connections you approve are stored by Archboard. See the privacy policy and the terms.
Changes an app makes are kept in the diagram's change log so they can be undone for 7 days (revert_change).
add_image: Archboard's server downloads the https URL you give, once, and stores the image in the diagram.
upload_image: in apps that can run shell commands, the app runs a one-time upload command that sends the one image file you named to getarchboard.app.
export_diagram links stop working after 15 minutes or 5 downloads.
Archboard does not include its own AI model; the assistant is the app you connected.
