Agentic Mermaid MCP Server

Render a Mermaid source string to text. Returns { ok, text }. useAscii true → plain ASCII (+,-,|); false/absent → Unicode box drawing (┌,─,│). targetWidth sets a hard terminal display-cell bound; impossible bounds return a typed error.

Rasterize a Mermaid source string to PNG. Returns { ok, png_base64 }. Hosted rendering uses resvg-wasm with bundled fonts; bytes may differ from the local napi renderer, so hosted PNG is a convenience surface, not part of the byte-determinism contract. For file/URL artifacts use the local stdio server.

Render a Mermaid source string to themeable SVG. Returns { ok, svg }. Layout is deterministic: identical input produces identical geometry. The hosted boundary forces security:'strict' and embedFontImport:false.

Describe a Mermaid diagram. format=text returns { ok, text } with one or two summary sentences; format=json returns { ok, tree } with the AX tree; format=facts returns { ok, facts } with deterministic semantic fact lines for machine checking (for example edge A -> B : label, member Duck +quack()).

Return version-matched mutation operations for one diagram family. Use detail=signatures for the compact op menu or detail=fields (default) for exact field types, required flags, enum values, defaults, and constraints. Call this before build, mutate, or execute when the family schema is not already known.

Author a new Mermaid diagram from blank by folding a list of structured ops over an empty diagram of `family`. The declarative counterpart to hand-writing source. Returns the same envelope as `mutate`: { ok, family, source, verify } or { ok:false, family, opIndex, error }. Call `describe_sdk` for the family before authoring unfamiliar ops.

Run JavaScript in an isolated sandbox; return a value. One call composes edits. Submit JavaScript; declaration types are guidance. No promises, async/await, dynamic import, or type annotations. Hosted note: execute runs in an on-demand isolate and costs more than the direct render_svg/render_ascii/render_png/verify/describe tools — prefer those for plain render/verify calls. For straightforward structured edits, prefer the declarative mutate/build tools; reserve execute for logic the ops don't express. Hosted mermaid.renderMermaidSVG*, renderMermaidASCII*, and layoutMermaidWithReceipt calls force security:'strict' and embedFontImport:false; caller code cannot weaken that host policy.

Apply a list of structured edit ops to an existing Mermaid `source` and return the edited diagram. This is the declarative counterpart to `execute`: plain JSON in, plain JSON out, no sandbox. Prefer it for straightforward edits; reserve `execute` for logic the ops don't express. Returns { ok, family, source, verify:{ ok, warnings } } on success, or { ok:false, family, opIndex, error } — where `error` names the offending field and lists the valid ones — when an op is malformed or cannot apply. Ops apply in order and are all-or-nothing: the first failing op stops the batch (its position is `opIndex`) and the input is left untouched. Each op is { "kind": <op>, …fields }. Call `describe_sdk` for the detected family before authoring unfamiliar ops; it returns compact signatures or exact field types, enum values, defaults, and constraints.

Parse and verify a Mermaid diagram without rendering it. Returns { ok, family, summary, warnings, layout: { bounds, nodes, edges } } for valid diagrams and { ok: false, errors } for parse failures. `family` is the detected diagram family and `summary` a one-line description — check them: ok:true only means the diagram is structurally valid, not that it is the kind you intended. Warnings use the layout-rubric codes.
