Trident
Let your agent create and edit collaborative 2D architecture diagrams via the Trident DSL instead of hand-drawing boxes in a separate tool.
Overview
Trident is a Build-phase MCP server that lets AI assistants create and edit collaborative architecture diagrams using the Trident 2D DSL.
What is this MCP server?
- Create and edit architecture diagrams through the Trident 2D DSL from any MCP client
- Hosted streamable-http remote at https://mcp.tridentchart.com/mcp plus local npx trident-mcp stdio
- Spec-oriented tools work without TRIDENT_API_KEY; document editing tools use optional API key
- npm package trident-mcp v1.0.2 with runtimeHint npx
- Collaborative chart workflow suited to iterating design with an AI assistant
- Server version 1.0.2
- npm identifier trident-mcp with runtimeHint npx
- Remote MCP URL https://mcp.tridentchart.com/mcp
What problem does it solve?
Founders lose alignment when system diagrams live in siloed drawing apps the coding agent cannot read or update as the architecture evolves.
Who is it for?
Solo developers and small teams who want agent-driven system diagrams during design docs, RFCs, and integration planning.
Skip if: Teams that only need auto-generated OpenAPI docs with no visual architecture, or workflows requiring IaC apply from the same tool.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After adding Trident MCP, your agent can draft, revise, and collaborate on architecture charts in DSL form ready for reviews and onboarding docs.
- Collaborative Trident architecture diagrams editable by the agent
- DSL-based chart artifacts suitable for READMEs, RFCs, and validation walkthroughs
- Iterative diagram updates synchronized with integration or scope changes
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Architecture diagrams belong in Build when you are documenting how services connect before and during implementation—especially for solo founders explaining scope to themselves and contractors. Docs is the canonical shelf because Trident produces living system diagrams and specs agents can revise, not production runtime code or deploy pipelines.
How it compares
Diagram DSL MCP for architecture docs, not a cloud deploy or monitoring server.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Trident for?
It is for builders and tech leads who want Claude, Cursor, or similar agents to co-edit 2D architecture diagrams through Trident instead of manual charting.
When should I use Trident?
Use it in Build while writing system docs, onboarding diagrams, or updating architecture after new integrations before you ship or hand off to contractors.
How do I add Trident to my agent?
Point MCP at https://mcp.tridentchart.com/mcp for hosted HTTP or run npx trident-mcp over stdio; set TRIDENT_API_KEY only if you need full document editing tools.
