Next AI Draw Io

Next AI Draw.io

Use this skill for the next-ai-draw-io repo when you need AI-assisted diagram creation, draw.io XML editing, or MCP integration.

When to use

• Create or edit diagrams from natural language
• Run the web app locally
• Integrate the MCP server with Claude, Cursor, or VS Code
• Work on diagram history, provider setup, or deployment

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/DayuanJiang/next-ai-draw-io.git
cd next-ai-draw-io
npm install
cp env.example .env.local
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:6002.

MCP

claude mcp add drawio -- npx @next-ai-drawio/mcp-server@latest

JSON config form:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "drawio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@next-ai-drawio/mcp-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

What it does

• Natural-language diagram creation and edits
• Image-based diagram replication
• PDF and text upload for diagram generation
• Diagram history and restore
• Multi-provider support
• Cloud architecture diagrams and animated connectors

Notes

• Use a strong model when generating or editing draw.io XML.
• If the task is only to render or lightly edit diagrams, prefer the existing draw.io path before the live MCP path.
• Keep the final artifact local when possible: .drawio, PNG, or SVG.
