Flowzap MCP Server

Create workflow, sequence, and architecture diagrams using AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and 8 other MCP-compatible tools. Its 12 documented tools cover flowzap, mindmap, validate, playground. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting maps & location tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Flowzap

Claude Code

claude mcp add flowzap-xyz-flowzap-mcp -- npx -y flowzap-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flowzap-xyz-flowzap-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "flowzap-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package flowzap-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.flowzap-xyz is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Flowzap can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can create a shareable diagram URL, compare two versions of FlowZap Code and get structured diff, check if code is suitable for Mind Map rendering (diamonds/taskboxes = ERROR), and generate a ready-to-extend Mind Map tree skeleton.

The 12 tools it gives your agent

Extracted from the project's README - what flowzap lets an agent do.

flowzap_validate: - Validate FlowZap Code syntax
flowzap_create_playground: - Create a shareable diagram URL
flowzap_get_syntax: - Get FlowZap Code syntax documentation
flowzap_export_graph: - Export FlowZap Code as structured JSON graph (lanes, nodes, edges) for reasoning
flowzap_artifact_to_diagram: - Parse HTTP logs, OpenAPI specs, or code into FlowZap diagrams
flowzap_diff: - Compare two versions of FlowZap Code and get structured diff
flowzap_apply_change: - Apply structured patch operations (insert/remove/update nodes/edges)
flowzap_compliance_check: - Run automated SOC2, GDPR, and PIPL compliance analysis on a FlowZap Code data-flow diagram. Backed by Deepseek LLM with strict rate limits (3/day per IP, 1/hour
flowzap_mindmap_validate: - Validate FlowZap Code syntax and mind-map readiness
flowzap_mindmap_approve: - Check if code is suitable for Mind Map rendering (diamonds/taskboxes = ERROR)
flowzap_mindmap_template: - Generate a ready-to-extend Mind Map tree skeleton
flowzap_mindmap_create_playground: - Create a playground URL with ?view=mindmap

What can Flowzap do?

How do I install Flowzap?

Run `npx -y flowzap-mcp`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
