With topic, returns a short XML reference for tables, layers or groups. Input parameters: - `topic` (string): Return only the XML reference for this topic instead of the whole guide. ### `get_shape_library` (~185 tokens) Get shape library Get the style syntax and shape names of a draw.io icon library. Call this BEFORE drawing with cloud, network or other icon shapes, and use the exact names it returns; never guess them. Libraries: \- Cloud: aws4, azure2, gcp2, alibaba_cloud, openstack, salesforce \- Networking: cisco19, network, kubernetes, vvd, rack \- Business: bpmn, lean_mapping \- General: flowchart, basic, arrows2, infographic, sitemap \- UI/Mockups: android, material_design \- Enterprise: citrix, sap, mscae, atlassian \- Engineering: fluidpower, electrical, pid, cabinets, floorplan \- Icons: webicons Input parameters: - `library` (string, required): Library name, e.g. aws4, kubernetes, flowchart ### `start_session` (~117 tokens) Start session Start a new diagram session, or continue a saved one with session_id, and open the browser for real-time preview. Starts an embedded server and opens a browser window with draw.io. The browser will show diagram updates as they happen. The result includes the drawing guide; follow it when drawing. Input parameters: - `session_id` (string): Id of a saved diagram (from list_saved_diagrams, or the Session ID of an earlier start_session) to continue it with the same preview URL and auto-save file. Omit to start a new diagram. ### `list_saved_diagrams` (~49 tokens) List saved diagrams List the diagrams saved by earlier sessions (auto-save files), newest first, with their pages. Continue one with start_session session_id=; the file path also works with load_diagram. ### `create_new_diagram` (~482 tokens) Create new diagram Create a NEW diagram, REPLACING the whole document: every page and any unsaved user changes (the previous state stays in History). To add a tab use add_page; to change cells use edit_diagram. Before using icon shapes (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Cisco...), call get_shape_library first. Follow the drawing guide returned by start_session (call get_drawing_guide if it is no longer in your context). Pass screenshot: true on the last call of a complex diagram to check the result. Accepted xml: 1\) Only the mxCell elements of one page (recommended). The server adds , , and the root cells "0" and "1": \ 2\) A bare with (one page). 3\) A full with one or more pages. Every page's must start with . Rules: cells are siblings (never nested), ids are unique per page and start from "2", parent only for shapes inside a container, no XML comments, and shapes stay within x 0 to 800 and y 0 to 600. A style used by several cells is defined once with before the cells and used by name (see the drawing guide); html=1 and whiteSpace=wrap are added automatically. To clear the canvas to one blank page, send only the two root cells ; the previous diagram stays in History. Input parameters: - `screenshot` (boolean): Also return a PNG of the result so you can check it for overlaps and edges crossing shapes. Needs the preview tab open and in front; adds 2 to 10 s. Default: the DRAWIO_AUTO_SCREENSHOT environment va… - `xml` (string, required): REQUIRED: the mxCell elements of one page, a bare , or a full with one or more pages. ### `load_diagram` (~361 tokens) Load diagram file Load a .drawio diagram into the current session, REPLACING the entire diagram (all pages). To change an existing file, load it here, edit with edit_diagram, then export_diagram to the same path; never rewrite the file by hand. Provide ONE of two mutually exclusive sources: 'path' (the server reads the file from disk — you do NOT need to read the file yourself or pass its XML through create_new_diagram) or 'xml' (the raw file content you already have — from another tool, a repository read, or an API response — so no temporary file needs to be written first). Both accept plain XML and draw.io's compressed save format. .drawio.svg (Editable SVG, the format export_diagram writes) is accepted too; .png files (also draw.io's editable PNG) and plain .svg files cannot be loaded. After loading from 'path' (or from compressed 'xml'), call get_diagram before edit_diagram — you haven't seen the file's cell IDs yet. Plain-XML 'xml' content you supplied yourself is already known and can be edited immediately. Input parameters: - `path` (string): Path to the .drawio or .drawio.svg file to load (e.g. /Users/me/diagram.drawio or ~/diagram.drawio). Relative paths resolve against the MCP server's working directory, which is often not your project… - `xml` (string): Raw .drawio file content: a plain /, or draw.io's compressed save format. Use when the content is already in hand (another tool's output, a repository read, an API response). Mu… ### `edit_diagram` (~607 tokens) Edit diagram Edit a specific page in the current diagram by ID-based operations (update/add/delete cells). All-or-nothing: if any operation fails, nothing is applied and every failure is listed. Freshness: the server remembers the last diagram state you have seen, and rejects this call only if the user edited the diagram in the browser since then. You do NOT need to call get_diagram before every edit: a rejected call changes nothing and includes the current XML of the page, so you can rebuild your operations and retry. Call get_diagram first only when you don't know the current diagram content (cell IDs, structure) — e.g. the diagram wasn't created in this conversation, or you're unsure your memory of it is accurate. Multi-page targeting: \- page_id / page_name / page_index are optional; when all omitted, the FIRST page is targeted \- Use list_pages to discover what pages exist Operations: \- add: Add a new cell. Provide cell_id (new unique id within the page) and new_xml. One cell per operation. \- update: Replace an existing cell by its id. Provide cell_id and complete new_xml. \- delete: Remove a cell by its id. Only cell_id is needed. Its children and connected edges are deleted too, so give only a container's id. For add/update, new_xml is the complete mxCell (inside its wrapper when it has custom data, see the drawing guide) in the compact form (a shape with x, y, w, h; an edge with source and target). No XML comments. Every " inside new_xml must be escaped as \" in the JSON. Example - Add a rectangle on the default (first) page: {"operations": [{"operation": "add", "cell_id": "rect-1", "new_xml": ""}]} Example - Delete a cell on the default page: {"operations": [{"operation": "delete", "cell_id": "rect-1"}]} Input parameters: - `operations` (array, required): Array of operations to apply - `page_id` (string): Target a page by its id (as returned by list_pages or add_page). Wins over page_name and page_index when multiple are set. - `page_index` (integer): Target a page by its 0-based tab index. Used only when page_id and page_name are not set. - `page_name` (string): Target a page by its display name (e.g. "CNN"). Used only when page_id is not set. - `screenshot` (boolean): Also return a PNG of the result so you can check it for overlaps and edges crossing shapes. Needs the preview tab open and in front; adds 2 to 10 s. Default: the DRAWIO_AUTO_SCREENSHOT environment va… ### `get_diagram` (~209 tokens) Get diagram Get the current diagram XML (fetches latest from browser, including user's manual edits). Call this when you don't know the current diagram content (cell IDs, pages, structure) — e.g. before editing a diagram you didn't create in this conversation, or after edit_diagram was rejected because the user changed the diagram in the browser. Returns the full by default. If a page selector is provided, returns just that page's embedded in a one-page wrapper. Input parameters: - `page_id` (string): Target a page by its id (as returned by list_pages or add_page). Wins over page_name and page_index when multiple are set. - `page_index` (integer): Target a page by its 0-based tab index. Used only when page_id and page_name are not set. - `page_name` (string): Target a page by its display name (e.g. "CNN"). Used only when page_id is not set. ### `get_selection` (~93 tokens) Get selection Return the cells the user has selected in the preview: their ids and labels, for edges the source and target ids, for shapes the position and size, and the page they are on. Call this when the user refers to what they selected ("this box", "these arrows", "the selected shapes"), then act on the ids with edit_diagram. Says when nothing is selected. Needs the preview tab to be open. ### `screenshot_diagram` (~179 tokens) Screenshot diagram Render the diagram in the preview and return it as a PNG image, so you can see your own result. Call this once after drawing or heavily editing a complex diagram, then fix overlaps and edges that cross shapes. Without a page selector it shows the page on screen; with one it renders that page without changing what the user sees. Needs the preview tab to be open. Input parameters: - `page_id` (string): Target a page by its id (as returned by list_pages or add_page). Wins over page_name and page_index when multiple are set. - `page_index` (integer): Target a page by its 0-based tab index. Used only when page_id and page_name are not set. - `page_name` (string): Target a page by its display name (e.g. "CNN"). Used only when page_id is not set. ### `export_diagram` (~403 tokens) Export diagram Export the current diagram to a file. Supports .drawio (XML), .png, .svg, and .drawio.svg (an SVG with the diagram embedded, which draw.io and load_diagram can open again). The format is auto-detected from the file extension, or can be specified explicitly. Images get a 20 px margin; a PNG has a white background (or the page's own background color) unless transparent is true. Multi-page behaviour: \- .drawio with NO page selector: writes the full (all pages). \- .drawio with a page selector: writes a single-page containing only that page. \- .png / .svg with NO page selector: exports the currently active page in the browser. \- .png with a page selector: renders that page without changing what the user sees. \- .svg / .drawio.svg with a page selector: temporarily loads that page into the browser, captures it, then restores the full document (the user sees a brief flicker). Input parameters: - `format` (string): Export format. If omitted, detected from file extension. Defaults to drawio. - `page_id` (string): Target a page by its id (as returned by list_pages or add_page). Wins over page_name and page_index when multiple are set. - `page_index` (integer): Target a page by its 0-based tab index. Used only when page_id and page_name are not set. - `page_name` (string): Target a page by its display name (e.g. "CNN"). Used only when page_id is not set. - `path` (string, required): Absolute file path to save to (e.g. /Users/me/diagram.drawio, ~/diagram.png). Relative paths resolve against the MCP server's working directory, which is often not your project. - `transparent` (boolean): PNG only: a transparent background instead of white. Default false. ### `list_pages` (~66 tokens) List pages List every page (tab) in the current diagram. Returns each page's id, name, 0-based index, and cell count. Use this to discover what pages exist before targeting one with edit_diagram, get_diagram, export_diagram, rename_page, or delete_page. ### `add_page` (~255 tokens) Add page Append a new page (tab) to the current diagram WITHOUT touching existing pages or unsaved user changes. Use this when the user wants "another diagram alongside" — e.g. "add a CNN page" — instead of create_new_diagram which wipes everything. Inputs: \- name: optional display name for the tab (defaults to Page-N where N = existing-page-count + 1) \- id: optional explicit page id; if omitted the server generates a short alphanumeric id \- xml: optional starting content: the mxCell elements of the page (root cells "0" and "1" are added), or a bare . If omitted, the page starts blank. Returns the new page's id, name, and index so the caller can immediately target it with edit_diagram. Input parameters: - `id` (string): Optional explicit page id. If omitted the server generates one. Must be unique across pages. - `name` (string): Optional display name for the new tab (e.g. "CNN"). Defaults to "Page-N". - `xml` (string): Optional starting content: the mxCell elements of the page, or a bare . If omitted the page starts blank. ### `rename_page` (~159 tokens) Rename page Rename an existing page (tab). At least one of page_id / page_name / page_index is required to identify which page to rename. The new_name becomes the visible tab label in the editor. Input parameters: - `new_name` (string, required): The new display name for the page tab. - `page_id` (string): Target a page by its id (as returned by list_pages or add_page). Wins over page_name and page_index when multiple are set. - `page_index` (integer): Target a page by its 0-based tab index. Used only when page_id and page_name are not set. - `page_name` (string): Target a page by its display name (e.g. "CNN"). Used only when page_id is not set. ### `delete_page` (~146 tokens) Delete page Delete a page (tab) from the current diagram. At least one of page_id / page_name / page_index is required. Refuses to delete the last remaining page — the editor needs at least one tab. Input parameters: - `page_id` (string): Target a page by its id (as returned by list_pages or add_page). Wins over page_name and page_index when multiple are set. - `page_index` (integer): Target a page by its 0-based tab index. Used only when page_id and page_name are not set. - `page_name` (string): Target a page by its display name (e.g. "CNN"). Used only when page_id is not set. ### `restore_version` (~113 tokens) Restore version Undo: put an earlier version of the diagram from History back on the canvas (the current canvas is kept in History, so this can be undone too). Use it when the user asks to undo, revert or go back. Input parameters: - `steps_back` (integer): 1 = the newest version that differs from the canvas (default), 2 = the one before it, and so on. After an undo, steps_back=1 returns to the version you just left (redo) and steps_back=2 goes further… ## Diagnostics Captured diagnostic sections: Provenance, Dependencies.

Next AI Draw.io is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.DayuanJiang/next-ai-drawio. draw.io diagrams your AI agent draws on a live browser canvas that you can also edit by hand. This page covers its npm package (@next-ai-drawio/mcp-server). ### Is the Next AI Draw.io MCP server safe to use? Next AI Draw.io scores 89 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 6 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm. ### What tools does the Next AI Draw.io MCP server expose? Next AI Draw.io exposes 16 tools: get_drawing_guide, get_shape_library, start_session, list_saved_diagrams, create_new_diagram, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,507 tokens of context every time the server is loaded. ### Is the Next AI Draw.io MCP server still maintained? Next AI Draw.io is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced. ### What licence is the Next AI Draw.io MCP server under? Next AI Draw.io declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls. ### What did VerifyMCP test on the Next AI Draw.io MCP server? VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Next AI Draw.io, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out. ## Links - npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@next-ai-drawio/mcp-server - Socket report: https://socket.dev/npm/package/@next-ai-drawio/mcp-server - Repository: https://github.com/DayuanJiang/next-ai-draw-io - Website: https://github.com/DayuanJiang/next-ai-draw-io/tree/main/packages/mcp-server#readme - Changelog RSS feed: https://verifymcp.io/servers/dayuanjiang-next-ai-drawio/next-ai-drawio-mcp-server.xml - Changelog JSON feed: https://verifymcp.io/servers/dayuanjiang-next-ai-drawio/next-ai-drawio-mcp-server/changelog.json - Trust report (JSON): https://verifymcp.io/servers/dayuanjiang-next-ai-drawio/next-ai-drawio-mcp-server.json - HTML version of this page: https://verifymcp.io/servers/dayuanjiang-next-ai-drawio/next-ai-drawio-mcp-server
