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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple ProcessOn tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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.
- Folder Organization — Browse folder structures and manage diagram locations efficiently.
- Collaboration Monitoring — List file collaborators and manage access insights for your team.
