Operate the Arc exe.dev deployment — studio, MCP server, health checks, and redeploy. Use on arc-studio or arc-server VMs, or when asked to check, restart, or update the hosted Arc stack.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Arc Host (exe.dev)

You are on an exe.dev VM running Arc. Agents grok arc — diagrams are typed JSON, validated, and opened in the studio.

## Endpoints

| Surface | URL |
|---------|-----|
| Studio | https://arc-studio.exe.xyz/ |
| Editor | https://arc-studio.exe.xyz/editor |
| MCP HTTP | https://arc-server.exe.xyz/mcp |
| MCP health | https://arc-server.exe.xyz/health |
| Shelley (arc-server) | https://arc-server.shelley.exe.xyz |

Local on this VM:

| Service | Port | systemd unit |
|---------|------|--------------|
| Studio preview | 5188 | `arc-studio` |
| MCP HTTP | 5190 | `arc-mcp` |

Repo: `~/arc` (bun, React 19, Vite 7).

## MCP tools (authoring loop)

Connect to `http://127.0.0.1:5190/mcp` or the public URL. Tools:

- `validate_diagram` — schema check
- `diff_diagram` — structural delta
- `auto_layout` — Sugiyama layout
- `render_ascii` — terminal preview
- `render_svg` — deterministic SVG export
- `render_png` — PNG image when Chrome/Chromium is installed (`ARC_CHROME` overrides lookup)
- `render_html` — React component, iframe embed, or standalone HTML
- `diagram_to_typescript` — TS module export
- `editor_handoff` — `#data=` studio URL

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hudsonkit/arc/arc-host@sha256:f94844a654275d8b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.b0d7494, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
