An MCP server that lets AI agents draw hand-drawn Excalidraw diagrams. Real .excalidraw files on your machine, with history, rendering and a local library app.
Inferred from the transports this listing declares (stdio). A client not listed here hasn’t been ruled out — it just isn’t something Forge can confirm.
Verification confirms publisher identity (repo ownership), not code safety. The security scan covers known CVEs and suspicious install scripts.
Read out of the source npm actually ships, at scan time. The package was never executed. Tools registered dynamically at runtime, or hidden inside bundled or minified code, can be missed — so this is a floor on the tool surface, not a complete census of it.

describe_sceneWhat is on a scene, as structure rather than pixels: counts by type, overall bounds, and a rounded summary of each element with its id, position, size, text and bindings. Cheaper than read_scene and usually enough to plan an edit.What is on a scene, as structure rather than pixels: counts by type, overall bounds, and a rounded summary of each element with its id, position, size, text and bindings.

read_elementsFull, unabridged elements, filtered down to the ones you need. Use this rather than read_scene when editing a few things in a busy scene.Full, unabridged elements, filtered down to the ones you need. Use this rather than read_scene when editing a few things in a busy scene.

read_sceneThe whole scene exactly as stored, plus the path to the .excalidraw file on disk. Large scenes run to thousands of elements, so prefer describe_scene or read_elements unless you genuinely need everything. The path is there for edits no tool here covers - take a snapshot first if you use it.The whole scene exactly as stored, plus the path to the .excalidraw file on disk.

Tool names and descriptions are written by the publisher and shown verbatim as inert text. They are the strings an MCP client passes to a model, so Forge scans them for prompt-injection patterns — any finding appears with the security scan above. “Privileged” is a keyword match on the tool name, not an audit of what the tool does: a benign-sounding name can still do anything.
