Excalidraw MCP Server

Run a live Excalidraw canvas and control it from AI agents.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

Secret credentials may flow to a network call
1 flow detected: RENDERER_KEY. We can’t prove the destination matches the brand the credential belongs to.
⚠️
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 6 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
🔐
You'll be asked for 2 credentials: ADMIN_API_KEY, RENDERER_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

set_room

Pin or switch the active Excalidraw room for this session, or — with no arguments — report the current room. Pass a full roomUrl (https://<host>/r/<id>), or a bare roomId plus optional expressUrl for the server origin. Every other tool operates on the pinned room; you can also override a single call

create
update
delete

Delete elements by `id`, `ids`, or a `query` (type/filter/bbox). Pass all:true to clear the entire canvas.

screenshot

Render the current canvas headlessly to an image and return it inline (png default, or svg). Frame and size it with bbox {x,y,w,h}, scale (0-4], and maxDim (100-8000, a longest-edge pixel cap). The renderer sidecar makes this work even with no browser tab open in the room.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

6/6 tools missing one or more hints — set_room (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); create (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); update (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +3 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool test coverage

Only 0/6 tools referenced in tests (0%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

Secrets stay with their owner

1 secret sent to a request target we could not resolve (RENDERER_KEY → dynamic) — often a configured endpoint, not necessarily third-party

Audit where credentials are sent. A NOTION_TOKEN should only reach api.notion.com — never a third-party host.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 4 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.15.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.15.1 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Dev dependencies

2 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

Dependency freshness

1/9 production deps stale: node-fetch@2023-11-30 (2.8y)

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
