Mermaid Docs Overview
The mermaid-docs MCP server helps coding agents turn Mermaid diagrams into guided, step-by-step walkthroughs. It works with a Mermaid `.mmd` file and a same-basename Markdown file, using comment markers to associate diagram regions with documented steps. Its tools can write, reorder, and validate steps, then link to the step an agent created. Reach for it when a static diagram needs an ordered explanation that highlights relevant connections and source lines.
Primary Use Cases for Mermaid Docs:
- Document an authentication flow as a guided walkthrough
- Generate step descriptions for an existing Mermaid diagram
- Reorder walkthrough steps for a clearer reading sequence
- Validate diagram walkthrough files in continuous integration
