Instant diagram creation from Claude Desktop

The `create_file` tool spins up fresh mind maps and flowcharts on demand. You tell your agent what you need to map out, and it builds the file in your account immediately. No more clicking through templates or starting from blank screens when you want to visualize a system. Once the file exists, you can run `get_file` to grab its core details and structure. This lets you inspect the document properties without leaving your chat window. It cuts out the context switching that kills your focus during deep work sessions.

Direct folder organization and navigation

The `list_folders` tool exposes your entire directory structure to your workspace. Your agent uses this to find where specific assets live, making it easy to keep your workspace clean. You can also run `get_folder_content` to see exactly what files are sitting in any directory. Finding a misplaced file takes seconds instead of minutes. If you need a quick overview of what you worked on yesterday, `get_recent_files` pulls up your latest documents. You get a clear list of active projects without opening a browser tab.

Exporting and cleanup via MCP Server tools

The `export_file` tool converts your visual assets into usable formats with a single command. Your agent triggers the export, letting you download the final diagram directly through your chat interface. It handles the raw file generation so you can share the output with your team. Keeping your workspace clean is straightforward when you run `delete_file` on outdated drafts. If you need to check who has access before making major changes, `list_collaborators` shows you every team member attached to the document. This keeps your files secure and organized.
