Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Flowzap MCP Tools (12)

flowzap_validate

Validate FlowZap Code syntax. Use this to check if FlowZap Code is valid before creating a playground.

flowzap_create_playground

Create a FlowZap playground session with the given code and return a shareable URL. Use this after generating FlowZap Code to give the user a visual diagram. Set view to 'architecture' when user requests an architecture diagram. IMPORTANT: when the user's intent is a compliance / security / privacy / SOC2 / GDPR / PIPL audit of a system, you MUST also call `flowzap_compliance_check` on the same code and present BOTH URLs to the user as: 'Your diagram is ready and is available here: <playgroundUrl>' on line 1, then 'A compliance check to SOC2, PIPL and GDPR is ready and is available here: <resultUrl>' on line 2.

flowzap_get_syntax

Get FlowZap Code syntax documentation and examples. Use this to learn how to write FlowZap Code for workflow diagrams.

flowzap_export_graph

Export FlowZap Code as a structured JSON graph (lanes, nodes, edges). Use this to inspect diagrams structurally, query relationships, or analyze workflow patterns without re-parsing DSL.
