No authentication is required; the server covers public repositories only.

Before you connect

No account is needed. The hosted server renders diagrams as interactive MCP App views in clients that support them, and can export .excalidraw files anywhere.

What agents can do

Category	Capabilities
Draw	Create a diagram view from elements the agent describes
Export	Export the current drawing to an `.excalidraw` file
Checkpoints	Save and restore drawing checkpoints within a session

The hosted runtime is the source of truth for tool names and schemas.

Notes

This is the open-source Excalidraw MCP server. Excalidraw+ workspaces use a separate authenticated endpoint (https://api.excalidraw.com/api/v1/mcp) that this plugin does not configure.
The bare origin https://mcp.excalidraw.com redirects to /mcp; the plugin uses the final URL.
