Network Diagram MCP Overview

The network-diagram-mcp MCP server connects an MCP-compatible agent to the NetMap browser application through a local stdio-to-WebSocket bridge. Agents can create and modify nodes, connections, sticky notes, sheets, layouts, canvas state, notes, and settings. Reach for it when you want an agent to build or maintain a visual network topology from structured information such as scanned hosts or inventory data. An open NetMap browser tab is required for tool calls to complete.

Primary Use Cases for Network Diagram MCP:
  • Build a topology map from discovered hosts
  • Import an asset inventory into a visual network workspace
  • Group nodes by type or connected component
  • Maintain separate sheets for network environments
