Excalidraw Architect MCP Overview

BV-Venky/excalidraw-architect-mcp MCP server turns structured architecture data or Mermaid flowcharts into editable Excalidraw diagrams. It calculates layout, applies component styles for recognized technologies, supports iterative edits, and exports diagrams to SVG or PNG without a browser. An optional markdown knowledge graph stores services and dependencies for rendering, impact analysis, linting, drift checks, and version comparisons. Reach for it when diagrams need to be generated and maintained from architectural data rather than positioned manually.
