Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Excalidraw Architect MCP Tools (26)

create_diagram
Create a new Excalidraw diagram of any supported type. Two input modes: 1. **Graph types** (``architecture``, ``flowchart``) - pass ``nodes`` and ``connections``. The tool handles layout, styling, and rendering; no coordinates needed. 2. **Typed diagrams** (every other type) - pass ``diagram_type`` and a ``spec`` object shaped for that type. Call ``list_diagram_types`` to choose a type and ``get_diagram_schema`` to see its spec shape.
mermaid_to_excalidraw
Convert Mermaid flowchart syntax into an Excalidraw diagram. Supports the mermaid flowchart subset that AI agents commonly generate: - Directions: graph TD, LR, BT, RL - Node shapes: [text], {text}, ((text)), ([text]) - Edge types: -->, ---, -.-> ==> with |label| - Subgraphs: subgraph Title ... end Component types are auto-detected from node labels (e.g., a node labeled "PostgreSQL DB" automatically gets database styling).
modify_diagram
Modify an existing Excalidraw diagram created by this tool. Supports iterative editing: add components, remove nodes, update labels, and rewire connections - without recreating the entire diagram. IMPORTANT: Call get_diagram_info first to understand the current diagram state before making modifications. For **typed diagrams** (sequence, pyramid, bar, swimlane, ...) there is a single operation: {"op": "update_spec", "patch": {"tiers": [...], "title": "New title"}} The patch is deep-merged into the stored spec and the diagram re-rendered. Lists are replaced wholesale, so send the complete list to change one entry. The node/connection operations below apply to architecture and flowchart diagrams only.

Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations

get_diagram_info
Get a structured summary of an existing Excalidraw diagram. Call this BEFORE modify_diagram to understand what nodes and connections currently exist. The summary includes node ids, labels, component types, and the full connection topology.
export_diagram
Export an .excalidraw file to SVG or PNG image. Converts an existing .excalidraw diagram into a portable image file without requiring a browser or the Excalidraw application.
list_diagram_types
List every supported diagram type with guidance on when to use it. Call this BEFORE create_diagram when the right diagram type isn't obvious. Picking the wrong type is the most common way a diagram fails - a swimlane drawn as a flowchart loses the handoffs that were the point. Two rules worth applying whatever you pick: - Target density ~4/10. Above 9 nodes it is probably two diagrams. - Mark only 1-2 elements "focal": true. The accent color is a signal, and using it everywhere destroys it. Returns: A table of type -> family, when to use it, and when not to.
get_diagram_schema
Get the JSON schema and selection guidance for one diagram type. Call this before passing a `spec` to create_diagram for a type you have not used yet, so the payload matches on the first attempt.
kg_init
Create a new architecture knowledge graph file (markdown). The knowledge graph is the persistent source of truth for your system's services and dependencies. Diagrams are rendered *from* it.
kg_add_service
Add or update a service in the knowledge graph.
kg_remove_service
Remove a service and all dependencies touching it.
kg_link
Add a directed dependency: ``from_id`` depends on / calls ``to_id``. Both services must already exist (add them with kg_add_service first). ``style`` is one of solid/dashed/dotted/thick.
kg_unlink
Remove the dependency ``from_id`` -> ``to_id``.

Saglitzdesign MCP Tools (34)

list_design_knowledge
List the knowledge-base index (design languages, UI components, UX, craft, books, process, marketing, SEO, GEO, patterns). Returns every document grouped by category — each with its id, title, platform, and tags. Use this first to discover what's available and get exact ids; then read one with get_design_doc, or search by need with search_design_knowledge.
search_design_knowledge
Search the whole knowledge base with a natural-language query — UI components, UX, accessibility, typography, color, motion, conversion, copywriting, SEO/GEO, platform design languages, craft standards, distilled design & marketing books, roadmaps, and real-world app/site patterns. Returns the top-matching documents, each with its single most relevant section excerpted and its id. Use for open-ended 'how should I…' questions; if you already know the id use get_design_doc, to browse everything use list_design_knowledge.
get_design_doc
Fetch one knowledge-base document in full by its id. Returns the whole document — title, metadata, prescriptive body, and cited sources. Ids come from list_design_knowledge or search_design_knowledge; if the id is unknown it suggests near matches.
get_component_guidance
Get expert guidance for designing one UI component or screen pattern (button, form, navigation, card, modal, hero, pricing page, onboarding, paywall, checkout, empty state, dashboard…). Returns the most relevant docs in full — specs, states, sizing, anti-patterns, and real-world patterns from top apps/sites. Use when designing a specific element; for copy-paste code use get_component_recipe, for annotated screenshots use get_design_examples.
get_design_language
Fetch the full reference document for one modern design language or platform design system (Material 3, Apple HIG/Liquid Glass, iOS/Android/macOS, Apple Intelligence, visionOS, Fluent 2, 2026 web trends, design tokens). Returns the complete spec — rules, do/don't lists, numbers, and examples — for the chosen system. Use when you need the authoritative platform baseline before designing; for a specific component use get_component_guidance, and to plan a whole project use get_design_roadmap.
design_review_checklist
Generate a structured design-review checklist for a project type (mobile app, website, landing page, dashboard), assembled from the knowledge base: key rules and anti-patterns per area. Use it to audit an existing design or as acceptance criteria for a new one.
get_design_roadmap
The SaglitzDesign roadmap: a phased, expert design process for a given project type (website, landing page, iOS app, Android app, macOS app, SaaS web app). Each phase has a goal and the exact knowledge-base docs to consult. Use this FIRST when starting any design project, then fetch phase docs as you reach them.
seo_geo_guide
SEO and GEO expertise for websites — classic SEO (technical, on-page, design-impact) and GEO, Generative Engine Optimization for AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, llms.txt, citations). Returns the full relevant guide docs, optionally narrowed to a topic. Use when planning or auditing a site's discoverability; pair with get_design_roadmap('website') for the full process.
get_design_examples
Fetch curated real-world examples of a design pattern from top apps and websites (paywalls, onboarding, auth, navigation, checkout, settings, empty states, heroes, pricing, features, social proof, signup, dashboards, footers). Returns, for each example, the app/site, what it does well, and a source link to view the screenshot. NOTE: this installation does not bundle the screenshot images (they are third-party assets, excluded from the published package), so the notes and links are returned WITHOUT inline images — open the links, or use your own browser tool, if you need to see them.
knowledge_freshness
Report how fresh each knowledge document is (age since last verification vs its category's staleness threshold). Use this to decide which docs need re-research; refresh workflow is documented in the repo's /refresh-knowledge command.
generate_design_tokens
Turn a design-token spec (semantic colors + optional spacing/radius/type scales) into REAL, ready-to-use artifact files: CSS custom properties, Tailwind v4 @theme, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, and W3C DTCG JSON. Deterministic — outputs code, not advice. Use it to give a project one source of truth across web, iOS and Android. Pair with audit_accessibility to verify the palette's contrast.
audit_accessibility
Deterministic design-time accessibility checks: WCAG 2.2 color-contrast ratios for text/UI color pairs, and minimum tap/target sizes per platform (iOS 44pt, Android 48dp, web 24px min / 44 recommended). Returns exact ratios, pass/fail, and fixes — the machine-verifiable slice of a11y you can run before code. For keyboard/screen-reader/Dynamic Type checks, see get_design_doc('accessibility').
