Visual Diagramming with Excalidraw

Use the Excalidraw MCP server to generate interactive diagrams directly in the conversation. Describe what you need in natural language and Excalidraw renders it as an interactive canvas with hand-drawn style.

When to Use

• Organizational charts and team structure diagrams
• Hiring pipeline and interview flow visualizations
• Onboarding process maps and milestone diagrams
• CV validation pipeline architecture layouts

Workflow

1. Describe the diagram you need — be specific about components, relationships, and layout
2. Review the rendered interactive diagram in the chat
3. Request refinements by describing what to change (add/remove/rearrange elements)
4. Use fullscreen mode for detailed editing when needed

Tips for Effective Diagrams

• Name specific components and their connections (e.g., "API Gateway connects to Auth Service and User Service")
• Specify layout direction when it matters (e.g., "left-to-right flow" or "top-down hierarchy")
• Request specific diagram types (architecture diagram, flowchart, sequence diagram, ER diagram)
• Iterate — start with the overall structure, then refine details
