What problem does it solve?
You lose momentum when architecture and user flows live in a separate app while your agent is editing code and markdown in the repo.
Who is it for?
Indie builders who document flows and architecture in-repo and want one agent session for both prose specs and diagrams.
Skip if: Teams that need real-time multi-user FigJam-style collaboration or fully hosted diagram hosting with no local install.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register the server, your assistant can drive OpenFlowKit diagrams locally so system maps stay aligned with the codebase you are shipping.
- Agent-driven OpenFlowKit diagrams stored locally on your machine
- Flow and architecture visuals usable in repo docs and specs
- Repeatable diagram edits from chat without manual export churn
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Architecture and flow diagrams are produced while you are still shaping the product in the build phase, before launch collateral and ops runbooks. Docs is the canonical shelf because the server exposes diagramming workflows that support specs, system maps, and onboarding visuals—not app runtime code.
How it compares
MCP diagram integration for OpenFlowKit, not a general web-scraping or LLM chat server.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is OpenFlowKit MCP for?
Solo and small-team builders using Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf who want local flow and architecture diagrams driven from the agent.
When should I use OpenFlowKit MCP?
Use it during build and docs work when you are capturing user flows, service boundaries, or onboarding visuals alongside implementation.
How do I add OpenFlowKit MCP to my agent?
Install @vrun-design/openflowkit-mcp from npm, add a stdio MCP server entry pointing at that package, and restart your MCP client.
