We are thrilled to announce a major step forward in connecting Lucid to your AI-powered workflows: a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server!
This server is the bridge that allows AI tools you’re already using, like Claude and ChatGPT, to seamlessly interact with your Lucid documents and data. For the many users who have requested this functionality, this means greater leverage and less manual work as AI clients become the home base for your work.
What is the Lucid MCP server? The MCP is a structured protocol - think of it as an API specifically designed for large language models (LLMs) and AI clients. An MCP server provides structured information they need to understand which actions are possible on the Lucid platform and how to execute them on your behalf.
Overview of MCP with ChatGPT example This capability is a critical part of enhancing intelligent capabilities in Lucid, reducing tedium, and allowing your AI tools to understand and interact with your visual workspaces.
What can the Lucid MCP server do? No more hunting through separate applications to find everything you need - let AI do the work. After connecting your AI tool of choice to Lucid through the server, you can simply ask the AI agent to find and retrieve your Lucid documents.
💡 Example solution story Priya, a Director of Process Excellence, is drafting a crucial AI project proposal. She needs key data points from a high-level architecture diagram her team created in Lucid.
The ask: Priya poses a query to her AI client (like Claude) asking for context from the architecture board and a summary of the associated risk analysis.The connection: The AI client uses the new Lucid MCP server to interpret the request, search through her documents, and retrieve the correct Lucidchart board.The result: The AI writes a clean summary of the required information, complete with a direct link back to the source document.Priya confirms the data and moves on, securing approval for her project in minutes instead of hours. The MCP server empowered her AI agent to search and surface information, keeping her focused on strategic work, not document retrieval.
More functionality will be available soon, so stay tuned!
Recap: why does the Lucid MCP server matter for my team?
The MCP server enables you to:
