Currently, when trying to move mermaid diagrams into Lucid, the only way to do this is to push an image block via the MCP server.

This sucks for 2 reasons:
1.) The image must be hosted somewhere, like s3 because the API requires a URI. 

2.) You lose any concept of shapes - it’s just an image.

What I would like is the ability for Lucid to interpret Mermaid syntax and render actual editable shapes. A tall ask, I’m sure, but this would be amazing. 

Thank you ​@olipachi for these details! I certainly understand why this would be beneficial, and I appreciate you taking the time to let us know what you’d like to see.
