Everything your AI needs to draw
✎
Full Drawing Toolkit
Rectangles, ellipses, diamonds, arrows, freehand paths, text, images. Everything you'd expect from a real whiteboard.
◆
Auto-Layout Diagrams
Define nodes and connections. Whiteboard MCP handles layout, spacing, and arrow routing automatically.
☵
One-Call Flowcharts
A single create_flowchart call generates a complete diagram from a graph definition. No pixel pushing needed.
📷
Screenshot & Export
Export as PNG, SVG, or JSON. The AI can take screenshots to verify its work before moving on.
⇄
Interactive, Not Static
This isn't a Mermaid diagram generator. It's a live canvas you work back and forth with. Draw alongside the AI, drag things around, ask it to modify what it drew. Full toolbar with manual drawing tools too.
🔒
100% Local
Everything runs on your machine. No cloud, no accounts, no data leaving your system. Just a local MCP server.
Simple pricing
Buy once, own forever. No subscriptions.
