🎯 Ilograph MCP Server
The Ilograph MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI agents with comprehensive access to Ilograph documentation, validation tools, and diagram creation guidance. Transform complex architecture documentation with intelligent assistance.
Use Cases
- Automated Diagram Creation: Generate Ilograph diagrams through natural language descriptions
- Real-time Validation: Validate existing diagrams with detailed error analysis and suggestions
- Documentation Access: Get instant access to comprehensive Ilograph documentation and best practices
- Learning & Examples: Explore curated diagram examples with detailed explanations
Important: This is an unofficial, community-driven project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Ilograph LLC. The server provides educational and development assistance by accessing publicly available Ilograph documentation and resources.
Caution: The outputs and recommendations provided by the MCP server are generated dynamically and may vary based on the query and model. Users should thoroughly review all outputs to ensure they align with their project requirements and verify against official Ilograph documentation before implementation.
Prerequisites
- Docker: Docker installed and running
- MCP-compatible client: Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, etc.
Quick Start
Add to Your MCP Client
Add this configuration to your MCP client:
VS Code:
Add the following JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file in VS Code. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P and typing Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON).
More about using MCP server tools in VS Code's agent mode documentation.

"mcp": {
"servers": {
"ilograph": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"ghcr.io/quincymillerdev/ilograph-mcp-server:latest"
]
}
}
}
}
Optionally, you can add a similar example (i.e. without the mcp key) to a file called .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.
