DrillFlow Overview

DrillFlow MCP server connects an MCP-compatible agent to DrillFlow for publishing and reading hierarchical diagrams. It can convert Mermaid flowcharts into DrillFlow documents, treating each subgraph as a navigable subflow, or publish an existing document directly. Published diagrams return public, read-only share links, while read operations accept a URL, address, or slug. Use it when an agent needs to create shareable drill-down diagrams or retrieve their document data.
