LetDraw
Create, edit, share and export hand-drawn LetDraw diagrams, from code or a prompt.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http letdraw 'https://api.letdraw.com/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Bearer followed by your personal LetDraw API token (ld_live_...). Create it in the LetDraw app under Account > Developer.>'

}

LetDraw MCP + REST
Connect AI assistants and your own scripts to LetDraw — read and author diagrams in your account through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or the public REST API.
LetDraw is a hand-drawn–style online whiteboard and diagramming app. With this integration an MCP client (desktop AI apps, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, …) or any HTTP client can list workspaces, create and update diagrams, build a diagram from code (compose / Kubernetes / DOT / Terraform / SQL / …), stamp real product icons, export to Mermaid or D2, and share read-only links.
This repository ships the client-side integration: a zero-config MCP bridge, a typed REST SDK, the API spec, and setup docs. The LetDraw app and server are not part of this repo.

Endpoints
REST base https://api.letdraw.com/api-v1
MCP URL https://api.letdraw.com/mcp
Both authenticate with a personal API token (Authorization: Bearer
ld_live_…), not a login session. Create one in the LetDraw app under
Account → Developer. The exact URLs and a ready-to-paste client config are
shown there too.
60-second start (MCP)
The hosted server speaks Streamable-HTTP, so most clients connect directly. For a stdio client, or for the simplest possible setup, use the bridge:
// MCP client config (mcpServers block)
{
"mcpServers": {
"letdraw": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@letdraw/mcp"],
"env": { "LETDRAW_TOKEN": "ld_live_YOUR_TOKEN" }
}
}
}
See docs/clients for desktop apps, HTTP clients, Cursor, VS Code and Codex.
60-second start (REST)
curl https://api.letdraw.com/api-v1/workspaces \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ld_live_YOUR_TOKEN"
Or with the SDK:
import { LetdrawClient } from '@letdraw/sdk';
const ld = new LetdrawClient({ token: process.env.LETDRAW_TOKEN! });
const { workspaces } = await ld.listWorkspaces();
Scopes
Tokens carry scopes; each tool/route requires one:
diagrams:read— list/get workspaces, folders, diagrams, iconsdiagrams:write— create/update/delete/share diagrams, from-codeexport— export to Mermaid / D2ai:generate— generate a diagram from a prompt (uses your own AI key)

Frequently asked questions
What is LetDraw?
Create, edit, share and export hand-drawn LetDraw diagrams, from code or a prompt.
How do I install LetDraw?
It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http letdraw 'https://api.letdraw.com/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Bearer followed by your personal LetDraw API token (ld_live_...). Create it in the LetDraw app under Account > Developer.>'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does LetDraw need an API key?
Yes. It expects LETDRAW_TOKEN, Authorization, which you set in its configuration.
Is LetDraw open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains LetDraw?
It is published by letdraw. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
