Enable AI assistants to create, validate, and render Mermaid diagrams seamlessly, plus full integration with your Mermaid Chart account for advanced diagram management.
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available as a desktop app and in Cowork. It supports custom connectors, so it can call MCP servers directly from a chat.
This guide connects Mermaid Chart MCP to Claude Desktop through MewCP, so Claude Desktop can use Mermaid Chart MCP's 34 tools, like validate_and_render_mermaid_diagram, get_diagram_title and get_diagram_summary, without your Mermaid Chart MCP credentials ever reaching the app.
Your Mermaid Chart MCP API key is stored encrypted and injected only at call time. Your agent never holds it, so it can never leak it, log it or paste it into a prompt.

Other clients
Mermaid Chart MCP works the same way in every client below. Pick yours for its own guide.
Free to start.
Scope access to the exact Mermaid Chart MCP tools and accounts you allow, work and personal side by side. Anything outside that scope is refused at call time, even when the model asks for it.
Each call is logged: what ran, on which account, and whether it worked. Failures come back structured, so the agent knows whether to retry instead of guessing.
Every app sits behind one secure MCP URL, and there is no server for you to deploy or keep running. Add an integration in the dashboard and it is live on the next call, with no config to change and no new credentials to wire up. Tools load only when a task needs them, so your agent stays fast and focused however many apps you connect.
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors, then choose Add custom connector.
Name it "mewcp" and paste the URL.
A browser window opens the first time the client connects. Sign in and approve access. No API key needed.
Start a new chat and ask: "List the tools you can use from MewCP." You should see your connected apps.
SIMPLE RENDER TOOL - Renders Mermaid diagrams directly (Mermaid automatically validates during rendering). If successful, returns diagram image. If Mermaid validation fails, returns error details for fixing. One tool, one call, simple workflow.
Generate a descriptive title for a Mermaid diagram based on its content. This tool analyzes the diagram structure and content to suggest an appropriate title.
Generate a concise summary for a Mermaid diagram based on its content. This tool provides prompts for the LLM to generate a brief summary (2-4 sentences) highlighting the primary flow, key decisions, and outcomes.
Search for available Mermaid icons by provider or name. Returns icons in ready-to-use format with provider prefixes (e.g., 'aws:arch-amazon-ec2'). PERFORMANCE TIP: For faster searches, start with limit=10 and specific queries. If no suitable icons found, increase limit and retry. Supports AWS, Azure, GCP, and FontAwesome icon sets.
Get comprehensive syntax documentation and examples for a specific Mermaid diagram type. Returns the official Mermaid.js documentation with syntax rules, examples, and usage instructions for the requested diagram type.
Lists all available MCP servers and their tools in the workspace.

Generate a Mermaid flowchart that visualises Jira issue dependency links for a project. Each node shows the ticket key, summary, and status, and is a clickable link to the ticket. Dashed nodes represent issues linked from outside the current filter set.
Generate a Mermaid kanban board from Jira issues. Issues are grouped into columns by their current status and ordered by workflow stage (To Do → In Progress → Done). Each card shows the issue summary and is a clickable link to the ticket, with optional assignee and priority badges.
Generate a Mermaid flowchart centred on a single Jira ticket. Fetches the ticket's subtasks, parent, issue links, and recent comments in one call. The focal ticket is highlighted in indigo; subtasks are grouped in a subgraph; issue links use colour-coded arrows (red thick = blocks, cyan dashed = relates to); comments appear in a rose subgraph.
Generate a Mermaid diagram showing the history of a single Jira ticket using its changelog. Two views are available: - **state**: stateDiagram-v2 showing all status transitions with dates and authors, nodes coloured by status category. - **timeline** (default): Mermaid timeline grouped by month, showing status changes, assignee changes, priority changes, sprint moves, and resolutions.
