Flowsimp

Flowsimp MCP Server

Create flowcharts from chat. Flowsimp's hosted Model Context Protocol server turns Mermaid flowchart syntax or a plain indented outline into a shareable diagram link and an editable board in the Flowsimp editor.

• Endpoint: https://flowsimp.com/mcp
• Transport: Streamable HTTP (remote)
• Auth: none, no API key or account needed
• Price: completely free to use
• Registry name: com.flowsimp/flowsimp in the official MCP Registry
• Docs: https://flowsimp.com/mcp

The server is stateless. It does not store your diagrams, because each diagram is encoded in the link it returns. Open the editable link to rearrange shapes, edit text, and export PNG or SVG.

This repository holds the public documentation and the registry metadata (server.json, .mcp.json) for the hosted server.

Tools

Example create_flowchart input:

{  "text": "flowchart TD\n  A[Start] --> B{Approved?}\n  B -->|Yes| C[Ship it]\n  B -->|No| D[Revise]",  "title": "Release check"}

Example result (links shortened):

{  "shareUrl": "https://flowsimp.com/view#…",  "editUrl": "https://flowsimp.com/?board=…",  "nodeCount": 4,  "connectionCount": 3,  "title": "Release check"}

An indented outline works too:

Customer submits order  Payment approved?    Yes: Pack and ship    No: Email customer

Connect a client

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Flowsimp, and paste:

https://flowsimp.com/mcp

No authentication settings are needed.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http flowsimp https://flowsimp.com/mcp

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project):

{  "mcpServers": {    "flowsimp": {      "url": "https://flowsimp.com/mcp"    }  }}

VS Code (GitHub Copilot agent mode)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{  "servers": {    "flowsimp": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://flowsimp.com/mcp"    }  }}

ChatGPT

In workspaces or plans that support custom MCP connectors (developer mode), create a connector with the URL https://flowsimp.com/mcp and no authentication. You can also add a GPT Action from the OpenAPI description at https://flowsimp.com/openapi.json.

Clients that only support local (stdio) servers

Use the mcp-remote bridge:

{  "mcpServers": {    "flowsimp": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://flowsimp.com/mcp"]    }  }}

Or build the included Dockerfile, which runs the same bridge in a container:

docker build -t flowsimp-mcp .docker run -i --rm flowsimp-mcp

Example prompts

• "Make a flowchart of our customer refund process and give me the Flowsimp link."
• "Turn this Mermaid code into an editable diagram: …"
• "Draw a decision tree for whether to approve a vacation request."
• "Map the user sign-up flow for a mobile app, from landing page to first login."
• "Show me the Flowsimp templates, then start me on a swimlane diagram."
• "Create a simple network diagram: router, firewall, two web servers, and a database."

HTTP API

The same create action is available without MCP:

curl -X POST https://flowsimp.com/api/flowchart \  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \  -d '{"text": "flowchart TD\n  A[Start] --> B[Next]"}'

The OpenAPI description is at https://flowsimp.com/openapi.json.
