UI Flowchart Creator MCP server

UIFlowchartCreator is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to help developers and designers visualize user interfaces and their interactions. This tool generates UI flowcharts based on input specifications and integrates seamlessly with MCP-compatible systems through its easy-to-use API.

Installation

You can install UIFlowchartCreator using npm:

npm install uiflowchartcreator

Configuration

To use UIFlowchartCreator in your MCP-compatible system, add it to your MCP configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uiflowchartcreator": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/uiflowchartcreator/build/index.js"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Make sure to replace "path/to/uiflowchartcreator/build/index.js" with the actual path to the installed package.

Using UIFlowchartCreator

Basic Usage

Once configured in your MCP system, you can create UI flowcharts by sending requests to the UIFlowchartCreator server. The server processes input specifications and generates visual flowcharts of user interfaces and their interactions.

Key Features

• Flowchart Generation: Create visual representations of UI components and their relationships
• MCP Integration: Works with any MCP-compatible system
• API Access: Generate flowcharts programmatically through the provided API

API Basics

The UIFlowchartCreator API accepts specifications for UI components and their interactions. While specific API endpoints and parameters can be found in the source code, common usage involves:

• Defining UI components
• Specifying interactions between components
• Setting visual properties for the flowchart
• Requesting the generated flowchart

Example Workflow

1. Install the package
2. Configure it in your MCP system
3. Send UI specifications to the server
4. Receive and use the generated flowchart

For more advanced usage scenarios and detailed API documentation, consult the source code and comments in the implementation files.

How to add this MCP server to Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cursor-rules-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "cursor-rules-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
