Flowzap MCP Server

Create workflow, sequence, and architecture diagrams using AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and 8 other MCP-compatible tools. Its 12 documented tools cover flowzap, mindmap, playground. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with flowzap, mindmap and playground and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Flowzap

Claude Code

claude mcp add flowzap-xyz-flowzap-mcp -- npx -y flowzap-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flowzap-xyz-flowzap-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "flowzap-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package flowzap-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.flowzap-xyz is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Flowzap can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can create a shareable diagram URL, compare two versions of FlowZap Code and get structured diff, check if code is suitable for Mind Map rendering (diamonds/taskboxes = ERROR), and generate a ready-to-extend Mind Map tree skeleton.

The 12 tools it gives your agent

Extracted from the project's README - what flowzap lets an agent do.

flowzap_validate: - Validate FlowZap Code syntax
flowzap_create_playground: - Create a shareable diagram URL
flowzap_get_syntax: - Get FlowZap Code syntax documentation
flowzap_export_graph: - Export FlowZap Code as structured JSON graph (lanes, nodes, edges) for reasoning
flowzap_artifact_to_diagram: - Parse HTTP logs, OpenAPI specs, or code into FlowZap diagrams
flowzap_diff: - Compare two versions of FlowZap Code and get structured diff
flowzap_apply_change: - Apply structured patch operations (insert/remove/update nodes/edges)
flowzap_compliance_check: - Run automated SOC2, GDPR, and PIPL compliance analysis on a FlowZap Code data-flow diagram. Backed by Deepseek LLM with strict rate limits (3/day per IP, 1/hour
flowzap_mindmap_validate: - Validate FlowZap Code syntax and mind-map readiness
flowzap_mindmap_approve: - Check if code is suitable for Mind Map rendering (diamonds/taskboxes = ERROR)
flowzap_mindmap_template: - Generate a ready-to-extend Mind Map tree skeleton
flowzap_mindmap_create_playground: - Create a playground URL with ?view=mindmap
