Lucid MCP serverIdea

The MCP server has a ton of promise - thank you! Would it be possible to expand the range of shape libraries that could be used? In particular, we use Data Flow, ERD and Salesforce Architecture diagrams on a regular basis as well as a set of custom shape libraries, so it would be really helpful to be able to pass in the shape libraries to be used.

API/UI versioning inadequate for exportsIdea

Hi there,I’m currently working on a process to automatically export diagrams from lucid, to store the artifacts for regulatory purposes. However, I’m not able to marry the versioning observed in the UI and API.High level overview is quite straight forward:User edits a document, (multiple diagrams in different pages) User using the ui, names the version User triggers tool to export the document Tool hits /documents/{id} to obtain: Number of pages Version Tool exports each individual page using same endpoint (since only one page can be exported per API call) My plan was to be able to confirm that the version of the document I’m fetching is the intended on (i.e. the named revision).However, named versions are not shown in the API. And numeric versions are not shown in the UI This means I can’t prove that the document I’m exporting is actually the indented one - there is no way to marry them. Imagining Alice and Bob: Alice updates the diagrams and named the latest document version 1.0 (as you can do in the revision history). Bob makes an accidental change, does not name the revision. Alice initiates export which includes Bob’s accidental change as the API only regards the latest version. Since there is no way to observe the numeric version in the UI, nor is it possible to observe the named version in the API, Alice can’t confirm the export was what she wanted. The page export via /documents/{id} doesn’t embed any versioning in the metadata Similar issue to the above, but on a more narrow time window, from the moment one obtains the version from /document/{id} endpoint, to running all API calls to export each page, a change could be made before each API call has run. There is no way to verify this. Is there any way around this?The only way I see is the following:Expose named versions in API or provide a way to show numeric versions in the UI Export of pages with image/png or any other format, should embed versions in the produced artifact.With the current limitations, the API isn’t useful for us. Thanks

Story Counts instead of Story PointsIdea

In a dynamic table for Sprints I would like to change the "capacity planning" from "Story points" to "Count Storys"?Right now I can see the Story Points I put into an upcoming Sprint. But sometime not all tickets are estimated yet. As a Scrum Master I know what's the velocity of my team, but also I know the average of Storys my team is capable of doing. So I would like to switch between Sory Points and Number of Storys OR I would like to see the count of Storys in a Spint additional.

Add Update/Modify capabilities to Lucid MCP ServerIdea

I'm currently using the Lucid MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to integrate Lucidchart with AI tools and I'm finding it incredibly useful for creating diagrams programmatically.However, I've encountered a limitation that would significantly improve the workflow: the current MCP server only supports creating new documents but doesn't provide functionality to update or modify existing documents.Specific use case: I have a multi-page Lucidchart document and want to add additional pages to it programmatically through the MCP server. Currently, I have to either:Manually open the document and add pages, or Recreate the entire document from scratch with all pages includedFeature request: Could you add MCP tools that support:Adding pages to existing documents Updating/modifying existing pages Deleting pages from documents General document update capabilities (similar to how lucid_create_diagram_from_specification works, but for existing documents)This would enable true iterative diagram development through AI tools and make the MCP integration much more powerful for ongoing documentation workflows.Example tool signature:lucid_update_diagram- documentId: string (the existing document to modify)- operation: "add_page" | "update_page" | "delete_page"- pageData: standard_import_json (for the page content)Thank you for considering this enhancement. The Lucid MCP server is already a great tool, and this addition would make it even more valuable for teams using AI-assisted diagramming workflows.

Support dictation/voice input to textIdea

I'm using Lucidchart in Chrome on a Mac. Dictation/voice text input doesn't work for me. I can use voice-to-text across Chrome and in other browser-based mind mapping/task management/ diagramming applications. Is there a way to do it Lucidchart? Thanks,James

More agentic AI Lucid integrationsIdea

Please note thread below: Agentic integrations to LucidChart diagrams, both to inform or provide “augmented intelligence” when creating or evaluating process and architecture diagrams would be the next step for LucidChart. Alternately, the ability of multiple Lucid agents to interact with “the real world” as per the examples contained in the above thread and more would be very helpful. Currently I am working on reference architecture for OT (operational technology), interacting with IoT devices to manage event, telemetry, and control directives via a loosely coupled integration to an edge device, which is itself a semi-autonomous agent. This in turn would interact with a high level, cloud based governance model, that may in turn affect decision and control of enterprise systems and resources. All of this will be modeled in Lucid. With agentic interactions the design file can then become a “operational dashboard” of real time interactions and control decisions. I realize this opens the door to cybersecurity concerns, and that of course must be managed. Not sure how to make that happen in a FEDRAMP enviroment. However the value cannot be understated. Integrations to Palantir and N8N infrastructure would be equally valuable. Thanks

View Revision History with View-Only AccessIdea

Background: I’m primarily a Lucidchart userCurrently, it appears that viewing a document’s change history requires Edit permissions (File → Show Revision History is grayed out without Edit permissions).As a document viewer, I’d like the ability view (and potentially compare) different versions of that document. Use case:Suppose a system’s architecture and behavior are captured using Lucidchart, and document revisions are used for different versions of that system.Non-contributor stakeholders need the ability to understand how past versions (or the latest released version) of that system work.Without this, viewers can only view the latest version of a document. During development, this may differ from the latest released version of the system represented by the document. Suggestion:I’m speculating that revision history is grayed out without Edit permissions to keep read-only users from potentially using the Restore or New From Version features in the revision history sidebar.Would it possible to just gray out those options for users without Edit permissions?Edit: Bonus points if the compare feature also works without Edit access.

Expand side panel for Mermaid Diagram as code featureIdea

I work with Lucidchart primarily and use the “Diagram as code” feature extensively (Mermaid diagrams). The built-in text editor is very limited by the size of the left side bar when creating diagrams from code (about 53 characters). I’d like the ability to extend the side bar further so that the text editor can accommodate lines of at least 100 characters. If you believe this is a problem unique to the “Diagram as code” feature (it may very well be), then any other solution that accommodates a wider text editor for that feature would be great (e.g., the ability to open diagram text editors in a separate window, or similar capability).

Group Jira cards by initiative in dynamic tablesIdea

@Spencer Cowley @Preston H being able to group by Initiative would be great! It would allow me to see all the different components that go into our key workstreams. It’s heartening to see that previous suggestions were added since they were first posted in the idea below (eg. Labels). I hope that Initiatives will be taken into consideration.

Bi-directional links for on-page connectorsIdea

It would be good to be able to connect on-page connectors with each other.Create the connector Select Add Link… from the starting connector Choose the target connector Create Link - when creating the link, make it bi-directional so that the users do not need to create the link back to the starting connector. Bonus PointsWhen a user adds two connectors to a page that have the same label, automatically generate the bi-direction link between the two. The connector should be identifiable though such as .

Convert "diagram as code" flowchart to regular draggable componentsIdea

The idea is to convert the Mermaid diagram flowchart into standard Lucid components, so one could drag elements around, resize, etc. It would be okay to no longer edit the original Mermaid code, or lose some styling -- it would not need to be an exact representation.This has also been requested by @Bill.Stout and @jmesterh in the following thread:

Custom data for automation potential in shapesIdea

Hi all,I am looking for ideas or best practice on how to introduce ‘Automation Potential’ custom data to my activity shapes. Idea is that users could update maps with indicators that might suggest that task could be automated.Use caseUsers can easily update the shapes using a number of custom data fields Ideally some fields would be customisable (drop down ideally, else radio button) I an add some conditional formatting to highlight which shapes on a diagram are ‘Automation = Yes or Partial’ Some example fields below - probably too many in practice, but am playing with ideas ChallengesI have 500+ processes already mapped, none of which have any custom data on the activity shapes - can I retrofit to these 500 maps somehow? Can I make the fields drop down or similar? Can users with read only access complete these fields? I maintain a hierarchy in a excel spreadsheet of all 500 maps - ideally this would link and update with the custom fields (stretch target) i.e. so I can see the opportunities centrally, rather than having to look at single maps Alternatively, could I export a list of all maps including the custom data to a spreadsheet?If anyone in the community has something similar or al alternative idea I am all ears

Disable contextual panel from displaying in LucidValidating

When I select a shape the Contextual Panel for that shape automatically opens up even when I've previously clicked the Contextual Panel icon to disable it (in the hopes it would stop opening each time).  This is highly inconvenient as it takes up screen space and often covers up the very shape I just clicked on with the intention of entering text.  Each time I have to click to disable the panel and then when I click the next shape it opens again. It seems to happen on all container elements. The example is from a Mind Map but I've also seen it on Org Charts Swim Lames etc.

Can I export diagrams to an editable SVG format?Idea

Hi,RE: Functional EquivalenceWith the advent of 2026, the UK and EU are discussing the implementation of Functional Equivalence with respect to data ownership.Does this mean that Lucid will now start outputting diagrams in editable or functionally implementable formats, such as SVG? Just before anyone says that Lucid already outputs as SVG, yes it does, but this is a non-functional equivalent - the text cannot be edited or modified. This means that you are holding my designs to ransom.Kind regards,PAW.

Custom attributes for process acceleratorIdea

Having the custom attributes functionality also activated (& adjustable) for processes uploaded to the process accelerator would allow to add more meta data to processes, and therefore increase the value of having the process accelerator (ability to add more info to a document; easier search capacity & better structuring within repositories)

Hide settings when multiple styles are selectedIdea

Lucidchart: The state indication when multiple items with different properties are selected is inaccurate/confusing and has led to many mistakes on my docs over the years. Standard UI app guidelines are that when multiple selected items have different properties – the shown definitions should blank-out, or are replaced by a horizontal line, so that you can visually tell that there are different settings applied to the multiple items. Samples:Three fonts of different sizes/colors – but the settings (if I were to follow the typical way that apps work) indicate that they are all Inter, 10pt, and black (and in fact none of these three have that setting): And then here are two selected lines – with the displayed settings indicating that they are black 6pt bent lines with a single arrow – and again, neither of these lines have that setting, let alone both:When the multiple items selected that are closer in style than my above more extreme samples – it is very confusing, because users are used to UI standards showing accurate setting information when multiple items are selected – so wrong assumptions can be made that the multiple selected items do in fact have the same settings.This is a huge problem in my opinion, and I’ve been mentioning it for years to various folks on the Lucidchart teams. Is there any chance of getting values to blank-out or have a horiz line (or even the word “mixed”) indicating differing settings, the way pretty much all other apps do? Thanks for considering!

All caps text case settingIdea

I often have to rekey in text when I want to do an all-capitalized version of some words, and that just leads to the possibility of typing errors. Since Lucidchart allows for making super/subscript and strikethrough – why not add ALL CAPS, Sentence case, and Title Case, like most apps have? That would be hugely helpful. Thanks for considering.
