Openflowkit MCP Overview

openflowkit-mcp exposes OpenFlowKit’s local diagramming canvas and DSL operations to Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP clients. Agents can generate or update diagrams, inspect canvas state, export files, search icons, and validate OpenFlow DSL alongside Mermaid, Structurizr DSL, and D2 conversions. Repository analysis tools scan local files offline to propose architecture models, compare diagrams with code, and provide evidence for detected components. Reach for it when an agent needs to create architecture or other diagrams while keeping source text, canvas edits, and local repository analysis in one workflow.

Primary Use Cases for Openflowkit MCP:
  • Generate architecture diagrams from local repositories
  • Validate and convert diagram source text
  • Inspect and reconcile diagrams with code
  • Edit diagram frames through an MCP client
