A Codex plugin with MCP servers that lets an AI agent draw scientific figures live inside the visible draw.io desktop canvas, editing shapes, labels, arrows, and styling step by step via draw.io's graph API. It also includes utilities to validate .drawio files and export PNG, SVG, PDF, or JPG deliverables. This repository is legacy: development has migrated to the scientific-illustrator project and it no longer receives updates.

Use cases

  • have an AI agent draw scientific figures step by step in draw.io
  • watch a diagram being built live on the draw.io canvas
  • create publication-ready scientific illustrations with AI assistance
  • export draw.io diagrams to PNG, SVG, PDF, or JPG
  • validate saved .drawio documents
  • decompose a reference figure into editable draw.io primitives

When to choose

  • you specifically need live MCP-driven drawing inside the visible draw.io desktop app
  • you are an existing user of this legacy plugin on Windows
  • you want to study how an MCP server controls a desktop diagramming tool

When to avoid

  • you are a new user - use the successor scientific-illustrator project instead
  • you need cross-platform support or ongoing updates and bug fixes
  • you want headless diagram generation without the draw.io desktop app
  • you do not use Codex as your AI agent environment
