Tools & capabilities
Webcake Landing tools 23
get_generation_guideReturns the page-building conventions reference: output shape, the absolute-positioning coordinate system, event vocabulary, and the recommended workflow.list_elementsList every supported element type, grouped by category, with a one-line summary and whether it is a container (can hold children).get_elementReturns usage details for one element type, or for several via `types: [...]`: a summary, when it applies, key `specials` fields, a sparse skeleton node (the server fills omitted boilerplate), and for common types a filled example. `types` returns { elements: { [type]: details } }; `type` returns a single doc.get_page_schemaReturns the full JSON Schema (Draft 2020-12) of a Webcake page source object { page: [...], settings: {...} } for structural reference and validation.new_elementReturns a default element node for a type in the sparse authoring shape: a fresh id, seeded styles for both breakpoints, and seeded specials. properties, runtime, empty events and per-breakpoint config are omitted because the server fills them from factory defaults on validate and save.new_page_skeletonReturns an empty, complete top-level page source { page:[], popup:[], settings, options, cartConfigs } in the Webcake editor's shape. desktopWidth (960 or 1200) and mobileWidth (420 or 360) set settings.width_section, the canvas width that all element coordinates are measured in.validate_pageValidates a page source against the JSON schema and semantic rules: unique ids, dangling event targets, children only on container types, missing field_name, top-level types, and form-data bindings (duplicate field_name within one form; dangling promoId / connectedSurvey / connectedForm / set_field_value targets). Before validating it applies deterministic layout corrections (off-canvas boxes moved on-canvas, elements below wrapped text moved down) and lists them in auto_fixed. Returns errors (structural problems that block saving) and warnings (visible layout defects such as overlapping text, off-canvas bounds, or empty bands).layoutComputes on-canvas coordinates (top/left/width/height) for a group of elements on both breakpoints. Modes: 'center' (one box centered on the canvas), 'row' (N boxes in a centered horizontal row on desktop, stacked into one column on mobile), 'grid' (N uniform cells in `cols` columns, stacked on mobile), 'stack' (a vertical list down the content column). Respects the page margins (content column 80–880 on desktop and 20–400 on mobile by default). Returns one box per item in input order, plus `notes` for off-canvas or over-wide inputs. Pure computation: no credentials, no network.search_imagesSearches Pexels stock photos (API: https://www.pexels.com/api/documentation/) by short English subject queries. Each photo includes hotlinkable URLs at several sizes, a `sizes` map with each variant's pixel dimensions, `avg_color`, and the photographer's name and attribution URL; the response also includes a `size_guide` mapping slot widths to variants (hero/banner ~940–1880px → large/large2x, card ~350px → medium, avatar → tiny). `queries: [...]` runs several searches in parallel and returns { queries: { [q]: result } } — `pick:'best'` (default) keeps only the top photo per query, `pick:'all'` the full list; `query` runs a single search. Works without configuration through a shared hosted proxy; a PEXELS_API_KEY env var or x-pexels-key header uses a personal Pexels quota.get_icon_svgResolves icon-font names into inline SVG markup via the public Iconify API (https://iconify.design/docs/api/). Accepts Material Symbols refs ("ms:verified"), Font Awesome refs ("fa:chart-line"), Iconify ids ("mdi:home"), or bare names (treated as Material Symbols); underscores become hyphens, and Material Symbols resolve to the outlined variant with a filled fallback. These are the same `ms:` / `fa:` refs that ingest results report in block.icon. Returns { icons: { "<ref>": { ok, svg, iconify } } }. In Webcake an icon renders as an SVG mask on a rectangle element: the SVG goes in responsive.desktop.config.svgMask and responsive.mobile.config.svgMask (each breakpoint is read separately), the visible color comes from styles.background (the SVG's own fill is ignored), and the mask is stretched to the box (preserveAspectRatio='none'), so a square box keeps its proportions. No Webcake credentials needed.render_previewRenders a public URL to a PNG screenshot and returns it as an image. `page_id` targets a created page's preview URL (/preview/<id>); `url` targets any public page and takes precedence. full_page (default true) captures the whole scrollable page and `width` sets the viewport; `tiles:true` returns a tall page as several top-to-bottom band images (requires a self-hosted Playwright host via RENDER_SCREENSHOT_BASE, otherwise a single image is returned). Engine: Microlink's free tier by default (API: https://microlink.io/docs/api/getting-started/overview; about 50 requests/day per IP — when rate-limited the result is ok:false with HTTP 429), or a self-hosted screenshot proxy set by RENDER_SCREENSHOT_BASE / x-render-screenshot-base; MICROLINK_API_KEY / x-microlink-key raises the quota. A page published without a custom domain serves its preview for about 10 minutes after the last publish; after that the preview shows 'Preview page is expired'. Docs: https://github.com/vuluu2k/webcake-landing-mcp/blob/main/docs/tools.mdupload_imagesRe-hosts images on Webcake's CDN (statics.pancake.vn) and returns a map from each original entry to its hosted URL. Accepts up to 20 entries per call, processed in parallel, up to 200 MB each: http(s) image URLs, data:image/…;base64 URIs, and — only when the server runs locally over stdio — local file paths (absolute, ~/, file://, or Windows drive paths; rejected per entry on the remote HTTP transport). Upload target: with Webcake credentials and a resolved organization, each image is filed into that organization's media collection (the library the Webcake editor's media picker shows) and marked collection:true with its asset_id; without credentials the public CDN endpoint is used (the URL works, but the image is not in any collection: collection:false). Organization resolution: organization_id, then WEBCAKE_ORG_ID / x-webcake-org-id, then automatic selection when the account has exactly one organization; with two or more and none given, the result is ok:false with reason:'organization_required' and the organization list. dry_run defaults to false, because this only adds images to the media library and changes no page data; dry_run:true lists what would be processed without any network or filesystem access.- +11 more on the listing page

get_drawing_guideReturn the drawing guide: XML format, layout, edge routing, style and editing rules. start_session already returns it; call this only if the guide is no longer in your context. With topic, returns a short XML reference for tables, layers or groups.get_shape_libraryGet the style syntax and shape names of a draw.io icon library. Call this BEFORE drawing with cloud, network or other icon shapes, and use the exact names it returns; never guess them. Libraries: - Cloud: aws4, azure2, gcp2, alibaba_cloud, openstack, salesforce - Networking: cisco19, network, kubernetes, vvd, rack - Business: bpmn, lean_mapping - General: flowchart, basic, arrows2, infographic, sitemap - UI/Mockups: android, material_design - Enterprise: citrix, sap, mscae, atlassian - Engineering: fluidpower, electrical, pid, cabinets, floorplan - Icons: webiconsstart_sessionStart a new diagram session, or continue a saved one with session_id, and open the browser for real-time preview. Starts an embedded server and opens a browser window with draw.io. The browser will show diagram updates as they happen. The result includes the drawing guide; follow it when drawing.list_saved_diagramsList the diagrams saved by earlier sessions (auto-save files), newest first, with their pages. Continue one with start_session session_id=<id>; the file path also works with load_diagram.create_new_diagramCreate a NEW diagram, REPLACING the whole document: every page and any unsaved user changes (the previous state stays in History). To add a tab use add_page; to change cells use edit_diagram. Before using icon shapes (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Cisco...), call get_shape_library first. Follow the drawing guide returned by start_session (call get_drawing_guide if it is no longer in your context). Pass screenshot: true on the last call of a complex diagram to check the result. Accepted xml: 1) Only the mxCell elements of one page (recommended). The server adds <mxfile>, <mxGraphModel>, <root> and the root cells "0" and "1": <mxCell id="2" value="Shape" style="rounded=1;" x="40" y="40" w="120" h="60"/> 2) A bare <mxGraphModel> with <root> (one page). 3) A full <mxfile> with one or more <diagram> pages. Every page's <root> must start with <mxCell id="0"/><mxCell id="1" parent="0"/>. Rules: cells are siblings (never nested), ids are unique per page and start from "2", parent only for shapes inside a container, no XML comments, and shapes stay within x 0 to 800 and y 0 to 600. A style used by several cells is defined once with <mxStyle name="..." value="..."/> before the cells and used by name (see the drawing guide); html=1 and whiteSpace=wrap are added automatically. To clear the canvas to one blank page, send only the two root cells <mxCell id="0"/><mxCell id="1" parent="0"/>; the previous diagram stays in History.load_diagramLoad a .drawio diagram into the current session, REPLACING the entire diagram (all pages). To change an existing file, load it here, edit with edit_diagram, then export_diagram to the same path; never rewrite the file by hand. Provide ONE of two mutually exclusive sources: 'path' (the server reads the file from disk — you do NOT need to read the file yourself or pass its XML through create_new_diagram) or 'xml' (the raw file content you already have — from another tool, a repository read, or an API response — so no temporary file needs to be written first). Both accept plain XML and draw.io's compressed save format. .drawio.svg (Editable SVG, the format export_diagram writes) is accepted too; .png files (also draw.io's editable PNG) and plain .svg files cannot be loaded. After loading from 'path' (or from compressed 'xml'), call get_diagram before edit_diagram — you haven't seen the file's cell IDs yet. Plain-XML 'xml' content you supplied yourself is already known and can be edited immediately.edit_diagramEdit a specific page in the current diagram by ID-based operations (update/add/delete cells). All-or-nothing: if any operation fails, nothing is applied and every failure is listed. Freshness: the server remembers the last diagram state you have seen, and rejects this call only if the user edited the diagram in the browser since then. You do NOT need to call get_diagram before every edit: a rejected call changes nothing and includes the current XML of the page, so you can rebuild your operations and retry. Call get_diagram first only when you don't know the current diagram content (cell IDs, structure) — e.g. the diagram wasn't created in this conversation, or you're unsure your memory of it is accurate. Multi-page targeting: - page_id / page_name / page_index are optional; when all omitted, the FIRST page is targeted - Use list_pages to discover what pages exist Operations: - add: Add a new cell. Provide cell_id (new unique id within the page) and new_xml. One cell per operation. - update: Replace an existing cell by its id. Provide cell_id and complete new_xml. - delete: Remove a cell by its id. Only cell_id is needed. Its children and connected edges are deleted too, so give only a container's id. For add/update, new_xml is the complete mxCell (inside its <object> wrapper when it has custom data, see the drawing guide) in the compact form (a shape with x, y, w, h; an edge with source and target). No XML comments. Every " inside new_xml must be escaped as \" in the JSON. Example - Add a rectangle on the default (first) page: {"operations": [{"operation": "add", "cell_id": "rect-1", "new_xml": "<mxCell id=\"rect-1\" value=\"Hello\" style=\"rounded=1;\" x=\"100\" y=\"100\" w=\"120\" h=\"60\"/>"}]} Example - Delete a cell on the default page: {"operations": [{"operation": "delete", "cell_id": "rect-1"}]}get_diagramGet the current diagram XML (fetches latest from browser, including user's manual edits). Call this when you don't know the current diagram content (cell IDs, pages, structure) — e.g. before editing a diagram you didn't create in this conversation, or after edit_diagram was rejected because the user changed the diagram in the browser. Returns the full <mxfile> by default. If a page selector is provided, returns just that page's <mxGraphModel> embedded in a one-page <mxfile> wrapper.get_selectionReturn the cells the user has selected in the preview: their ids and labels, for edges the source and target ids, for shapes the position and size, and the page they are on. Call this when the user refers to what they selected ("this box", "these arrows", "the selected shapes"), then act on the ids with edit_diagram. Says when nothing is selected. Needs the preview tab to be open.screenshot_diagramRender the diagram in the preview and return it as a PNG image, so you can see your own result. Call this once after drawing or heavily editing a complex diagram, then fix overlaps and edges that cross shapes. Without a page selector it shows the page on screen; with one it renders that page without changing what the user sees. Needs the preview tab to be open.export_diagramExport the current diagram to a file. Supports .drawio (XML), .png, .svg, and .drawio.svg (an SVG with the diagram embedded, which draw.io and load_diagram can open again). The format is auto-detected from the file extension, or can be specified explicitly. Images get a 20 px margin; a PNG has a white background (or the page's own background color) unless transparent is true. Multi-page behaviour: - .drawio with NO page selector: writes the full <mxfile> (all pages). - .drawio with a page selector: writes a single-page <mxfile> containing only that page. - .png / .svg with NO page selector: exports the currently active page in the browser. - .png with a page selector: renders that page without changing what the user sees. - .svg / .drawio.svg with a page selector: temporarily loads that page into the browser, captures it, then restores the full document (the user sees a brief flicker).list_pagesList every page (tab) in the current diagram. Returns each page's id, name, 0-based index, and cell count. Use this to discover what pages exist before targeting one with edit_diagram, get_diagram, export_diagram, rename_page, or delete_page.- +4 more on the listing page
