Glyphic MCP Server
A diagram is data, not a drawing. Your model describes the diagram as typed JSON; Glyphic renders it - deterministic SVG & PNG across 18 types, validated before it draws, with no DSL and no headless browser. Diagram infrastructure for LLMs and agents that you own and build on. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People who work with diagram generator and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

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 no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use
npm package @glyphicjs/mcp-server - the @glyphicjs scope differs from the repo owner (ms-teja); confirm it's the project's official package
registry namespace io.github.MS-Teja is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
03 · Who maintains Glyphic
