Which integrations are available for this server?

Supports including Dynatrace as a component in architecture diagrams. Allows generation of Excalidraw diagrams from structured node/edge definitions or Mermaid syntax. Supports including Kong API gateway as a component in architecture diagrams. Allows conversion of Mermaid diagram syntax into Excalidraw format. Supports including OpenTelemetry as a component in architecture diagrams. Supports including PostgreSQL database as a component in architecture diagrams.

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@arch7 create a diagram for GKE cluster with Kafka and PostgreSQL" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

arch7

Architecture diagram generator for Excalidraw, exposed as an MCP server.

Fork of excalidraw-architect-mcp by Bhukya Venkatesh (MIT License).

What's different

Cylinder shapes: vertical (databases), horizontal flattened (topics/queues)
60+ components with auto-styling: GCP (GKE, Cloud Run, GCS, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, VPC, PSC), Kong, Confluent (Kafka, Schema Registry, ksqlDB), Dynatrace, OpenTelemetry, AI/Agentic (LLM, Agent, MCP, Vector DB, RAG)
Smaller diamonds for agent nodes
Repackaged as arch7_mcp

Install

pip install -e .

Tools

Tool	Description
`create_diagram`	Structured nodes/connections → .excalidraw
`mermaid_to_excalidraw`	Mermaid syntax → .excalidraw
`modify_diagram`	Add/remove/update nodes on existing file
`get_diagram_info`	Read diagram state for iteration

Usage (Python)

from arch7_mcp.core.models import Node, Edge, DiagramGraph, Direction
from arch7_mcp.engine.layout import compute_layout
from arch7_mcp.engine.renderer import build_excalidraw_file, save_excalidraw

nodes = [
    Node(id="gke", label="GKE Cluster", component_type="gke"),
    Node(id="kafka", label="Kafka Topics", component_type="kafka"),
    Node(id="pg", label="PostgreSQL", component_type="postgresql"),
]
edges = [
    Edge(from_id="gke", to_id="kafka"),
    Edge(from_id="kafka", to_id="pg"),
]

graph = DiagramGraph(nodes=nodes, edges=edges, direction=Direction.LEFT_RIGHT)
layout = compute_layout(graph)
doc = build_excalidraw_file(layout)
save_excalidraw(doc, "arch.excalidraw")
