Endpoint Security83
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability68
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2907 tokens (~126/item across 23 items; 23 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management37
  • Stability observed for 11 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage85
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 48% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
  • Structured output schemas are declared (26% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "delete_diagram" implies "delete" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 24 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
  • Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
Install

How do I install the Flowboard MCP server?

Flowboard is a hosted endpoint at https://flowboard.studio/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 23 exposed · ~2,737 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
create_diagram ~344

Create one persistent Flowboard architecture diagram after calling list_shapes and list_diagrams, then reuse its ID with patch_diagram or update_diagram instead of making test copies. Any node may contain any other node; indentation expresses grouping, not infrastructure policy. Markdown nodes look like '- API {#api type=pod x=100 y=100}'. Flows belong under ## Flows. JSON and YAML use flows[]. A node may use icon=github independently of type. See https://flowboard.studio/guide#agent-workflow

Common questions

What is the Flowboard MCP server?

Flowboard is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.FlowboardStudio/flowboard. Discover cloud shapes and create, inspect, validate, patch, and review architecture diagrams. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://flowboard.studio/mcp).

Is the Flowboard MCP server safe to use?

Flowboard scores 74 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. 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 Flowboard MCP server expose?

Flowboard exposes 23 tools: list_diagram_revisions, get_diagram_revision, restore_diagram_revision, list_shapes, create_diagram, and 18 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,737 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Flowboard MCP server require authentication?

Yes. Flowboard asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

Is the Flowboard MCP server still maintained?

Flowboard is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
