The Draw.io tool acts as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI assistants like Claude to directly interact with and control Draw.io. It facilitates the creation of new diagram files, the addition of various shapes (rectangles, ellipses, clouds, etc.) and connectors, and the customization of element properties such as colors, positions, and sizes. A standout feature is its multi-line text support for shape labels, ideal for complex diagrams like class hierarchies. The server also offers intelligent and secure path handling, ensuring all generated diagrams are conveniently saved to the user's Desktop by default, with automatic cross-platform path translation for seamless workflow.
