Eraser MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides tools for creating diagrams on Eraser.io.
Features
- Create diagrams on Eraser.io using their API
- Support for multiple diagram types (sequence-diagram, flowchart-diagram, cloud-architecture-diagram, entity-relationship-diagram)
- Returns direct links to view and edit diagrams
- Validate diagram syntax before creating
- Automatically fix common syntax errors
- Simple Docker-based integration with Claude Desktop
Quick Setup
1. Get an Eraser.io API Key
Sign up at Eraser.io and get your API key from your account settings.
2. Build the Docker Image
Clone this repository and build the Docker image:
git clone <repository-url>
cd eraser-mcp
./scripts/build-claude-docker.sh
3. Configure Claude Desktop
Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop settings file:
Configuration File Location:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"eraser": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"-e", "ERASER_API_KEY=yourapikey",
"eraser-mcp:claude"
]
}
}
}
4. Restart Claude Desktop
After saving the configuration file, completely quit and restart Claude Desktop.
5. Test the Integration
In Claude Desktop, try asking:
- "Create a sequence diagram showing a login process"
- "Can you validate this flowchart syntax?"
6. Create a Claude Desktop Project (Optional)
For better organization and persistent access to diagram syntax references, create a dedicated project:
- Create a new project in Claude Desktop by clicking the "+" icon in the sidebar
- Name your project (e.g., "Eraser Diagrams" or "System Architecture")
- Add the syntax guide by uploading or copying the diagram syntax documentation to your project knowledge base
Benefits of using a project:
- Persistent access to diagram syntax documentation
- Context-aware assistance for diagram creation
- Organized workspace for all your architecture diagrams
- Custom instructions ensure consistent diagram formatting
Now you can chat with Claude in this project and it will automatically use the Eraser MCP tools with full knowledge of the proper syntax for all diagram types.
Available Tools
create_diagram
Creates a new diagram on Eraser.io and returns links to view and edit it.
Parameters:
content(required): Diagram content in Eraser DSL formatdiagramType(optional): Type of diagram (sequence-diagram, cloud-architecture-diagram, entity-relationship-diagram, flowchart-diagram). Default: sequence-diagramtheme(optional): Theme for the diagram (light, dark). Default: darkbackground(optional): Whether to include background in the rendered image. Default: true
Returns:
- Image URL: Direct link to view/download the rendered diagram image
- Edit URL: Link to open and edit the diagram in Eraser
validate_diagram
Validates Eraser diagram syntax and returns any errors found.
Parameters:
content(required): Diagram content in Eraser DSL format to validatediagramType(optional): Type of diagram to validate. Default: sequence-diagram
Returns:
- Validation result indicating if the diagram syntax is valid
- List of errors and warnings found (if any)
fix_diagram
Validates and attempts to fix common syntax errors in Eraser diagrams.
Parameters:
content(required): Diagram content in Eraser DSL format to fixdiagramType(optional): Type of diagram to fix. Default: sequence-diagram
Returns:
- List of applied fixes
- Fixed diagram content
- Validation status after fixes
Examples
Creating a Sequence Diagram
Create a sequence diagram with this content:
Client > Server: Request
Server > Database: Query
Database --> Server: Results
Server --> Client: Response
Creating a Flowchart
Create a flowchart:
Start [shape: oval]
Start > Process
Process > Decision [shape: diamond]
Decision > End [shape: oval]
Validation Features
The server includes built-in validation for all supported diagram types:
- Sequence Diagrams: Validates message formats, activation blocks, and control structures
- Flowcharts: Validates node definitions, connections, shapes, and groups
- Entity Relationship Diagrams: Validates entity definitions, attributes, and relationships
- Cloud Architecture Diagrams: Validates service definitions, icons, and connections
Common fixes applied automatically:
- Arrow syntax corrections (e.g.,
=>to>) - Missing brackets and quotes
- Trailing whitespace removal
- Missing colons in sequence messages
- Shape name corrections (e.g.,
circletooval)
Troubleshooting
Docker Image Not Found
Error: Unable to find image 'eraser-mcp:claude'
Solution: Run the build script: ./scripts/build-claude-docker.sh
API Key Issues
Error: Server reports API key errors
Solution: Check that your API key is correct in the configuration
Permission Issues
Error: Docker permission denied
Solution: Ensure Docker is running and your user has Docker permissions
Development
For development, you can use the included Dev Container:
- Open in VS Code with Dev Containers extension
- Make changes to the code
- Rebuild the Docker image:
./scripts/build-claude-docker.sh
Development Commands
npm install- Install dependenciesnpm run dev- Run with hot reloadnpm run build- Build TypeScript to JavaScriptnpm run lint- Run ESLintnpm run typecheck- Run TypeScript type checking
Testing
