A side-by-side look at the Agentic Mermaid and Drawx MCP Server MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Agentic Mermaid for data visualization work as a local process; choose Drawx MCP Server for data visualization as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
DRAWX_API_KEY.generate_diagram, architect_design, whoami.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
