DayuanJiang/next-ai-draw-io

next-ai-draw-io uses large language models to create, modify, and enhance draw.io diagrams through natural language commands. It provides an MCP server and supports multiple AI providers, allowing AI agents such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code to generate diagrams.

Project overview

By providing an MCP server and supporting multiple AI providers, this project lets AI agents such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code generate diagrams directly, reducing the manual effort required to build technical and architectural diagrams.

Project type: MCP · Workflow
Use cases: Documents & Office
Deployment: Refer to project documentation
License: Apache-2.0

Best for

Developers and teams who create technical or architectural diagrams and want to generate or modify them using natural language

Key capabilities

Leverages large language models to create and manipulate draw.io diagrams directly through natural language commands.
Provides an MCP server that allows AI agents such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code to generate diagrams via the Model Context Protocol.

Limitations and risks

The project depends on an external AI provider API, such as AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google AI, to function.
A paid AI provider service may be required depending on the chosen model and provider.
Recommended models include Claude Sonnet 4.5, GPT-5.1, Gemini 3 Pro, and DeepSeek V3.2/R1; results may vary depending on the model used.
