Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Mermaid to assets. Source code to maps. MCP for agents.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer

Common questions

Is Vaults Diagram Tools 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?

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 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 (0.1.4) reached the registry 6 months ago.

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?

vaults-diagram-tools

Mermaid to assets. Source code to maps. MCP for agents.

vaults-diagram-tools is a standalone toolkit for teams that need reproducible Mermaid SVG/JPEG assets, source-code diagrams, and agent-friendly diagram workflows without carrying Vault-specific content.

What is included

  • Mermaid renderer extracted from the Vaults toolchain.
  • Source-code to Mermaid diagram generator.
  • MCP stdio server with three explicit tools, published in MCP Registry as io.github.Malnati/vaults-diagram-tools.
  • Offline-capable release assets for zip and container distribution.
  • Dedicated GitHub Actions Marketplace wrapper repository for render/source/policy automation.
  • Packaging templates for Homebrew, deb/rpm, CDN, Docker, and Podman, plus a publishable VS Code extension package.

Content-management workflows outside diagram generation are not part of this package.

Quick start

Install in a project:

npm install -D vaults-diagram-tools

Render one Mermaid source to durable assets:

npx vaults-mermaid-render path/to/diagram.mmd --output-dir out --manifest out/manifest.json

Generate Mermaid diagrams from source code:

npx vaults-source-diagrams --source-dir src --output-dir diagrams

Run the MCP stdio server:

npx vaults-diagram-mcp

Use one-shot npx when the project should not keep a dependency:

npx --yes --package vaults-diagram-tools vaults-mermaid-render path/to/diagram.mmd --output-dir out

npx --yes --package vaults-diagram-tools vaults-source-diagrams --source-dir src --output-dir diagrams npx --yes --package vaults-diagram-tools vaults-diagram-mcp

Core tools

CommandPurpose
vaults-mermaid-renderRender .mmd or .mermaid files to SVG/JPEG, manifests, and optional PNG/text sidecars.
vaults-source-diagramsGenerate Mermaid diagrams from source-code structure, including focused selections and traceability metadata.
vaults-diagram-mcpExpose render_mermaid_text, render_mermaid_file, and generate_source_diagrams through MCP stdio.

Additional package binaries are compatibility entrypoints for older Vaults paths, optional text renderers, and Podman workflows.

Workflows

  • Markdown docs: keep the Mermaid source as a linked .mmd, render .svg and .jpg, and show source inline with a fenced mermaid block.
  • Source graph reviews: generate diagrams from real source paths and inspect manifest selection data for requested files, omitted connectors, and rendered outputs.
  • Agent automation: use the MCP server when clients need diagram rendering through a narrow, explicit tool surface. Current registry entry is active at version 0.1.4, and the Smithery server page is already published.
  • Release packaging: ship npm, zip, container, and offline vendor artifacts while preserving license and notice files.

Download and distribution

npm registry

Use the published npm package when you want the normal Node.js toolchain installation. Current npm latest is vaults-diagram-tools@0.1.4:

npm install -D vaults-diagram-tools

npx vaults-mermaid-render path/to/diagram.mmd --output-dir out --manifest out/manifest.json npx vaults-source-diagrams --source-dir src --output-dir diagrams npx vaults-diagram-mcp

One-shot with npx

Use --package when the project should not keep the dependency:

npx --yes --package vaults-diagram-tools vaults-mermaid-render path/to/diagram.mmd --output-dir out

npx --yes --package vaults-diagram-tools vaults-source-diagrams --source-dir src --output-dir diagrams npx --yes --package vaults-diagram-tools vaults-diagram-mcp

GitHub Actions Marketplace

Use the dedicated Marketplace action when the diagram workflow should run inside GitHub Actions without adding project-local scripts:

steps:
  • uses: actions/checkout@v4
  • name: Render Mermaid assets id: diagrams uses: Malnati/vaults-diagram-tools-action@v0 with: mode: render input: docs/diagrams output-dir: diagram-assets
  • name: Upload diagram assets uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4 with: name: diagram-assets path: ${{ steps.diagrams.outputs.output-dir }}
npm package from GitHub

Use the GitHub package source when testing a commit before a registry release:

npm install github:malnati/vaults-diagram-tools

npx vaults-mermaid-render path/to/diagram.mmd --output-dir out

GitHub release assets

The latest GitHub Release, GHCR image, npm package, MCP Registry metadata, and VS Code VSIX are published at v0.1.4; the Quay.io Podman image remains at v0.1.0:

Local checkout

Use the checkout for development, validation, or release preparation:

git clone https://github.com/malnati/vaults-diagram-tools.git

cd vaults-diagram-tools npm ci npm test node packages/renderer/render-mermaid-assets.mjs examples/simple/flowchart.mmd --output-dir tmp/rendered node packages/source-diagrams/source-diagrams.mjs --source-dir packages/mcp --output-dir tmp/source-diagrams node packages/mcp/server.mjs

Container, Docker, and Podman

Build locally:

docker build -f containers/Containerfile -t vaults-diagram-tools:local .

podman build -f containers/Containerfile -t vaults-diagram-tools:local .

Run a render from the GHCR image:

docker run --rm \

-v "$PWD/examples/simple:/work/input:ro" \ -v "$PWD/tmp/container-output:/work/output:rw" \ ghcr.io/malnati/vaults-diagram-tools:v0.1.4 \ --output-dir /work/output /work/input/flowchart.mmd

Run the published Podman image from Quay.io:

podman run --rm \

-v "$PWD/examples/simple:/work/input:ro" \ -v "$PWD/tmp/container-output:/work/output:rw" \ quay.io/ricardomalnati/vaults-diagram-tools:v0.1.0 \ --output-dir /work/output /work/input/flowchart.mmd

Quay.io also exposes 0.1.0 and latest tags for the same published package line.

Podman helper scripts are available through vaults-mermaid-podman-build, vaults-mermaid-podman-render, and vaults-mermaid-podman-test.

CDN facade

The package is CLI-first. CDN endpoints expose browser-safe metadata/helpers only; SVG/JPEG rendering still runs through Node.js, MCP, or the container runtime.

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vaults-diagram-tools/packaging/cdn/vaults-diagram-tools.mjs

https://unpkg.com/vaults-diagram-tools/packaging/cdn/vaults-diagram-tools.mjs

VS Code extension

The desktop VS Code extension is published as malnati.vaults-diagram-tools and can also be installed directly from the GitHub Release VSIX. It uses a hybrid runtime: a bundled offline fallback plus a managed cache that can follow vaults-diagram-tools@latest without republishing the extension. It contributes:

  • Command Palette actions for Mermaid SVG/JPEG rendering, source-diagram generation, and Markdown diagram-policy validation.
  • Runtime commands: update managed runtime now, show runtime status, and force the bundled runtime.
  • A native VS Code MCP server definition provider for the resolved vaults-diagram-tools stdio server.
  • Marketplace/Open VSX publish scripts for manual publication from an authenticated local shell. Keep npm, VS Code Marketplace, and Open VSX credentials in the local terminal; GitHub Actions does not use those secrets.

Install options after v0.1.4 is released:

Local package validation:

npm run vscode:install

npm run vscode:test npm run vscode:package code --install-extension dist/vaults-diagram-tools-vscode-0.1.4.vsix

Sequential local publication:

make auth

make publish-all

make publish-all runs local-terminal authentication first, validates guard-only release metadata, packages artifacts, creates the GitHub tag/release, publishes npm, VS Code Marketplace, Open VSX, GHCR, Quay.io, and MCP Registry, then verifies public availability. It fails when the current version/tag/npm package already exists; bump and commit release metadata before running.

Command line usage

After installing from npm, run public CLIs directly from node_modules/.bin, npm exec, or npx:

vaults-mermaid-render path/to/diagram.mmd --output-dir out --png --ascii --manifest out/manifest.json

vaults-source-diagrams --source-dir src --output-dir diagrams --langs auto --diagrams dependency,class vaults-diagram-mcp

One-shot examples:

npx --yes --package vaults-diagram-tools vaults-mermaid-render examples/simple/flowchart.mmd --output-dir tmp/vaults-diagram-tools

npx --yes --package vaults-diagram-tools vaults-source-diagrams --source-dir packages/mcp --output-dir tmp/source-di
