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": {
    "drawx": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@drawx/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DRAWX_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "DRAWX_API_BASE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add drawx --env DRAWX_API_KEY=your-value --env DRAWX_API_BASE=your-value -- npx -y @drawx/mcp-server

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": {
    "drawx": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@drawx/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DRAWX_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "DRAWX_API_BASE": "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": {
    "drawx": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@drawx/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DRAWX_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "DRAWX_API_BASE": "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 one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Drawx MCP Server 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: DRAWX_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 (0.1.1) reached the registry 4 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?

@drawx/mcp-server

Generate draw.io diagrams and architecture designs from inside Claude, Cursor, or VS Code.

DrawX MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that gives your AI assistant three tools:

`generate_diagram` — one-shot: natural-language prompt → complete draw.io XML.
`architect_design` — from a brief, produce a High-Level Design diagram (optionally an LLD + design doc).
`whoami` — verify your API key + see remaining quota.

Behind the scenes it calls the DrawX public API, so output matches the DrawX web app exactly.

Requirements

Node.js 18+
A DrawX API key — create one in DrawX → Settings → API keys. Keys start with drawx_live_. API access is a paid feature (bundled with the DrawX Pro plan).

Install

npm install -g @drawx/mcp-server

Or, if your MCP client supports npx, no install is needed — reference npx @drawx/mcp-server directly.

Configure your MCP client

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

"mcpServers": { "drawx": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@drawx/mcp-server"], "env": { "DRAWX_API_KEY": "drawx_live_..." } } } }

Restart Claude Desktop. In a new chat, ask *"Draw me a microservices checkout flow"* — Claude will call generate_diagram and show the resulting XML.

Cursor

Edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "drawx": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@drawx/mcp-server"], "env": { "DRAWX_API_KEY": "drawx_live_..." } } } }

VS Code (Copilot MCP)

Add to your workspace or user settings.json:

"mcp": { "servers": { "drawx": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@drawx/mcp-server"], "env": { "DRAWX_API_KEY": "drawx_live_..." } } } } }

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Purpose
`DRAWX_API_KEY`	yes	Your DrawX API key (`drawx_live_...`).
`DRAWX_API_BASE`	no	Override the API base URL (default `https://getdrawx.com/api/v1`). Useful for staging.

Tools reference

`generate_diagram`

Turn a description into draw.io XML.

Inputs

prompt (string, required) — what to draw.
mode — "flash" (default), "pro", or "ultra". Trades speed for quality.
previousXml — an existing mxfile to modify.

Output — assistant text: a summary line (model, tokens, cost) followed by the full ... XML in a fenced code block. Paste the XML into diagrams.net or save as .drawio.

`architect_design`

Run the DrawX Architect Co-Pilot on a brief. Streams intermediate progress; returns a JSON payload with hld (and optional lld, doc).

Inputs

brief (string, required, ≥ 20 chars) — what to design.
depth — "hld", "hld_lld" (default), or "hld_lld_doc".
style — "cloud_agnostic" (default), "aws", "azure", or "gcp".
mode — "flash" (default), "pro", or "ultra".

`whoami`

No inputs. Returns your email, plan, API tier, and remaining monthly API quota.

Quota + rate limits

API usage is metered on a separate tier from your in-app usage. Pro subscribers get 200 API calls / month. The rate limit is 60 requests / minute. On the free plan, API access is not enabled — upgrade at getdrawx.com.

Local development

git clone https://github.com/SaharshPamecha/drawx-mcp-server

cd drawx-mcp-server npm install npm run build DRAWX_API_KEY=drawx_live_... node dist/index.js # runs over stdio; use an MCP inspector npm test
