About ProcessOn MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your visual documentation with ProcessOn, the premier online platform for flowcharts, mind maps, and organizational charts. By connecting ProcessOn to your agent, you transform complex diagram management and project coordination into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your files, create new diagrams, export your work into multiple formats, and even monitor collaborators without you ever needing to navigate the web interface. Whether you are designing a system architecture or a complex business process, your agent acts as a real-time visual documentation assistant, keeping your diagrams organized and your production moving.
Cursor's Agent mode turns ProcessOn into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from ProcessOn and it fetches, processes, and writes — all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
What you can do
- Diagram Orchestration — List all accessible flowcharts, mind maps, and diagrams across your ProcessOn workspace.
- File Management — Create, retrieve, and delete diagrams with full support for collaborative metadata.
- Export Control — Seamlessly export diagrams into standard formats like png, pdf, svg, and Visio.
