Overview

AI-generated overview

Skedra's MCP server lets an AI assistant create, read and live-edit visual boards, Kanban plans, Gantt timelines and diagrams on a Skedra whiteboard instance.

What you can do
  • Create and edit boards on an infinite canvas with text, shapes, arrows, drawings, images and frames
  • Build and update native flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Kanban boards, Gantt charts and templates
  • Read and modify board content through 23 structured, editable agent tools
  • Work alongside teammates in real time on shared boards with comments, mentions and activity
When to use it
Useful when you want an agent to draft or maintain visual planning artifacts — Kanban boards, timelines, diagrams — on a Skedra instance you or your team already run, rather than describing them in text.
Requirements
A reachable Skedra instance; the MCP endpoint is served at the instance's /api/mcp path. Sign-in to that instance via OAuth, or an API key / local stdio configuration from Settings > API Keys & MCP. There is no central hosted MCP endpoint, so a self-hosted deployment (for example the all-in-one Docker image with a persistent data volume) is needed.
Before you install
The tools edit shared board content, so agent changes are visible to collaborators and can overwrite or alter existing boards. Access is tied to an account on the instance, and API keys should be treated as secrets. Self-hosting stores PostgreSQL data, files and instance secrets in a persistent volume that needs backups; the first registered user becomes instance administrator.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Skedra Whiteboard in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.moonriddim%2Fskedra/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

[Skedra]

The open-source whiteboard for people and AI agents.

Self-hosted. Collaborative. Agent-editable. AGPL-3.0.

Website · Documentation · Self-host · MCP · React SDK · Discord

Skedra is an infinite canvas for sketches, diagrams, Kanban boards and Gantt timelines. Work with your team in real time, or connect AI agents through the built-in MCP server. Run the complete application on your own infrastructure. All features are available without a Skedra subscription, license server or central Skedra account.

skedra.xyz provides documentation and project information. The application, API, MCP server, library catalog, database, SDK and deployment files live together in this repository. There is no separate commercial edition.

Self-host Skedra

Run the all-in-one Docker image:

bash
docker run -d \  --name skedra \  -p 3000:80 \  -v skedra_data:/data \  ghcr.io/moonriddim/skedra-community-standalone:latest

Open http://localhost:3000. PostgreSQL, files and instance secrets persist in the skedra_data volume. The first registered user becomes the instance administrator. Further registrations require an invitation by default.

See SELFHOST.md for Docker Compose, production URLs, storage, optional LiveKit calls, updates and backups. Images for this transition become available after the changes are merged and the release workflow succeeds.

Features

  • Infinite canvas with text, shapes, arrows, drawing, images and frames.
  • Native flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Kanban boards, Gantt charts and templates.
  • Local browser boards and portable .skedra files.
  • Accounts, teams, roles, permissions, comments, mentions and board activity.
  • Real-time collaboration, encrypted storage and optional end-to-end encryption.
  • Share links, presentations and read-only embeds.
  • MCP server with 23 tools for structured, editable agent workflows.
  • Shape libraries with .skedralib import and a self-hosted catalog.
  • Optional AI with your own provider or local models, and optional LiveKit calls.
  • Embeddable React SDK using the same canvas model, renderer and editor.

MCP for AI agents

Connect Codex, Claude, Cursor or another client to your own instance:

text
https://YOUR-SKEDRA-INSTANCE/api/mcp

Sign in to that instance through OAuth. API-key and local stdio configurations are available in Settings > API Keys & MCP. There is no central hosted MCP endpoint. See docs/MCP.md.

Development

bash
git clone https://github.com/moonriddim/skedra-community.gitcd skedra-communitycorepack enabledocker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -dcp .env.example .envpnpm installpnpm db:pushpnpm dev

Open http://localhost:5174. pnpm dev also watches the shared SDK. Use pnpm sdk:verify for focused SDK and editor parity checks. pnpm test runs the workspace tests.

Build the independent static website with pnpm docs:build and preview it with pnpm docs:dev at http://localhost:5176. It requires no API, database, authentication or external service.

Repository

  • apps/web, apps/api, apps/mcp, apps/libraries: self-hosted application.
  • apps/docs: static project website and documentation.
  • packages: database, shared types, canvas core, editor, renderer, IO and React SDK.
  • deploy: self-hosting, database migrations and reverse proxies.
