Visual Torch MCP Server

VisualTorch aims to help visualize Torch-based neural network architectures. It currently supports generating flow-style, graph-style, and LeNet-style architectures for PyTorch Sequential and Custom models. Its original visual styles were inspired by visualkeras, pytorchviz, pytorch-summary, and torchview; since then, it has grown its own unified tracing backend and architecture-handling logic well beyond its…

01 · Install Visual Torch

Claude Code

claude mcp add willyfh-visualtorch -- uvx visualtorch

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "willyfh-visualtorch": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "visualtorch"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

pypi package visualtorch - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

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

06 · Visual Torch FAQ

What is Visual Torch?

Is Visual Torch still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-25 and it shipped 8 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Visual Torch?

Run `uvx visualtorch`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Visual Torch run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
