Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Create, validate, edit, export (markdown/svg/png/mermaid), and search JSON Canvas files.

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 in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Search & AI memory

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

You need

Which app do you use?

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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http jsoncanvas https://jsoncanvas.mcpcentral.io/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

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": {
    "jsoncanvas": {
      "url": "https://jsoncanvas.mcpcentral.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "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

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "jsoncanvas": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://jsoncanvas.mcpcentral.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "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.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization HTTP header
    Bearer token from the MCPCentral gateway (Microsoft Entra OAuth at login.mcpcentral.io). Canvases are stored per authenticated user.

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

Common questions

Is Jsoncanvas 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 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 (0.1.0) 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. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

JSON Canvas MCP Server

A remote Model Context Protocol server for working with JSON Canvas files — the open infinite-canvas format used by Obsidian. Create, validate, read, edit, export, and search .canvas files, with an inline interactive canvas viewer.

Hosted by MCPCentral at `https://jsoncanvas.mcpcentral.io/mcp` (Streamable HTTP). This repository is the public listing for the MCP Registry; the server itself is closed-source.

mcp-name: io.mcpcentral/jsoncanvas

Authentication

The endpoint requires Microsoft Entra OAuth via the MCPCentral gateway (login.mcpcentral.io). MCP clients perform the standard OAuth flow automatically: an unauthenticated request returns 401 with a WWW-Authenticate pointing at the RFC 9728 metadata at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource, and the client takes you through sign-in. Canvases are stored privately per authenticated user.

Client configuration

Claude Code

claude mcp add jsoncanvas --transport http https://jsoncanvas.mcpcentral.io/mcp

Claude Desktop / other clients via `mcp-remote`

{

"mcpServers": { "jsoncanvas": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://jsoncanvas.mcpcentral.io/mcp"] } } }

Any MCP client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers with OAuth (Claude, Goose, OpenAI connectors, MCP Inspector) can connect.

Tools

ToolDescription
create_canvasCreate a canvas from nodes (+ optional edges); stored under a date-prefixed .canvas name.
validate_canvasValidate canvas data against the JSON Canvas 1.0 spec.
read_canvasRead a stored canvas and return its nodes and edges.
list_canvasesList your stored canvases.
edit_canvasAtomic batch add/update/remove of nodes and edges (removing a node cascades its edges).
export_canvasExport to markdown, svg, mermaid, or png (full-fidelity raster via Browser Rendering).
search_canvasesCase-insensitive field-level search across your canvases.

create_canvas, read_canvas, and edit_canvas carry MCP Apps UI metadata so supporting hosts render the result inline in an interactive pan/zoom viewer.

Resources

  • canvas://schema — JSON Schema for canvas files.
  • canvas://examples/basic — a simple two-node example canvas.
  • ui://canvas/viewer.html — the interactive read-only viewer (MCP Apps UI).

Security

  • Per-user isolation — every canvas is scoped to the authenticated user; no cross-user reads.
  • Auth required — all tool calls require a valid Entra-issued bearer token.
  • Hardened — strict input/size caps, bounded search, accurate tool annotations, and an SSRF-blocked PNG renderer (the headless browser cannot be coerced into outbound requests).
  • Report vulnerabilities per SECURITY.md. Please do not open public issues for security reports.
