New Capabilities for the Lucid MCP Server: Generate Mermaid diagrams, Timelines, and more!

We’re expanding the capabilities of the Lucid MCP server so your connected AI tools can do far more without you ever leaving your chat window. You can now ask your AI assistant to construct Gantt-style timelines, import and export Mermaid diagrams, build smart tables, and more!

What’s new

• More done without leaving your AI tool: Users can now generate more content in Lucid boards including Lucid cards, timelines, visual activites, and more!
• Better layout & granular editing: AI agents can produce better structured diagrams and clean up a whole diagram in one pass instead of one shape at a time.
• Broader diagram support: BPMN, full UML, Mermaid, and data-bound content mean more of a customer's existing technical workflows can now run through the MCP.

Use cases this unlocks

Fluid developer-to-Mermaid diagram workflows

Convert Mermaid markup into fully editable Lucid shapes, or export your existing Lucid diagrams back out as Mermaid code to store directly in your repository.

Instant planning visuals

You have a list of dates, milestones, and deliverables from a planning session. Prompt your AI tool to turn your raw planning notes into a fully realized timeline complete with dated milestone cards.

Standardized process mapping with BPMN

Hand off standard process documentation, standard operating procedures (SOPs), or user journey notes to your AI assistant. It can instantly generate compliant BPMN process flows complete with proper gateways, events, and swimlanes—saving teams hours of manual diagramming.
