You may have already used the Lucid MCP Server to connect Lucid with tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot to search, retrieve, and summarize your documentation and flows. Today, we are excited to announce that we are extending the Lucid MCP server to move beyond understanding your documents.
We are officially adding the ability to create documents through the Lucid MCP Server! ⭐
You can now use your AI tools to convert external data, code snippets, and text descriptions into structured Lucid diagrams. This feature allows you to start your canvas with a meaningful starting point so you never have to stare at a blank page again.
Here is how you can utilize this update in your workflow:
- Turn ideas into diagrams: Describe what you need, like a process flowchart or entity relationship diagram, and let AI handle the drawing. The Lucid MCP server can create any Lucid-supported diagram.
- Example: “Build a flowchart for a customer onboarding email campaign in Lucid.”
- Data-to-diagram: Upload a data set for AI to generate a visual representation in Lucid. Please note that while the MCP can create a diagram from data, it does not support data linking in a document.
- Example: “Create a sequence diagram from this JSON data showing the checkout flow.”
This feature is built to significantly reduce manual diagramming effort. By leveraging the MCP to handle initial setup and structure, you can accelerate your output within a single interface.
