Mindpilot MCP server

Mindpilot is a small helper that lets your AI draw pictures of code, systems, and processes as Mermaid diagrams. Instead of reading a wall of text, you get a visual you can open in your browser. It is handy for anyone trying to understand a project, a workflow, or a tangled piece of logic.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like "show me the login flow as a diagram." The AI writes the diagram in a simple text format called Mermaid, which it is already good at. It hands that text to Mindpilot. Mindpilot runs a tiny web app on your own computer and draws the diagram there. You open the page in your browser and see the picture. You can also save it as an image file to share.

What you can do with it

• Draw architecture diagrams of a project
• Show a flow as a sequence diagram
• Sketch a state machine for tricky logic
• Visualize code structure to spot leftovers
• Export a diagram as a vector image
• Keep a history of diagrams you made
• Open the same diagram collection from more than one AI window

Try asking your AI

• “Create a diagram of how our checkout process works”
• “Show me the state machine for the WebSocket connection logic”
• “Make a C4 context diagram of this project's architecture”
• “Show me the OAuth flow as a sequence diagram”

What it gives back to you

You get a diagram rendered in a web page on your own computer, usually at localhost:4000. The AI will also tell you in chat that the diagram is ready and where to look. Past diagrams are saved so you can go back to them later. You can export any diagram as a vector image if you want to drop it into a document or slide.
