Flowzap MCP Overview

This server lets MCP-compatible AI assistants generate, validate, inspect, compare, and modify diagrams written in the FlowZap Code DSL. It can also convert HTTP logs, OpenAPI specifications, or code into diagrams and create shareable playground URLs. Use it when an assistant needs structured diagram generation or diagram-aware code changes without an API key.
