Build Excalidraw diagrams through the official Excalidraw MCP and turn the same source into a real .excalidraw file on disk or an Obsidian .excalidraw.md drawing. Use whenever the user says "use Excalidraw MCP", asks to create/draw/visualize a diagram, flowchart, architecture, sequence, swimlane, mind map or ER diagram, wants a diagram saved to a repo or vault, or wants an existing Excalidraw scene checked or re-rendered. Covers the MCP skeleton format, the on-disk schema it is NOT, a…
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
# Excalidraw via MCP Saying "use Excalidraw MCP" should be enough to get a complicated diagram, drawn live and saved where it belongs. This skill is what makes that true. ## The one thing that breaks everything `create_view`'s element format is a **skeleton**, not the on-disk schema. A shape's `label` is skeleton-only sugar. Excalidraw's canvas renderer has **no text branch for rectangle / ellipse / diamond** — container text is drawn only via `boundElements → containerId`. So pasting `create_view` JSON into a `.excalidraw` file produces **empty boxes**, silently. That single fact is why `scripts/excalidraw_build.py` exists: author once in the skeleton, get both the live render and a correct file. Second fact: hand-authored diagrams do not degrade gradually with size — they fail on **irregularity**. Measured on a real generated scene, elements produced by a repeating layout formula had a 0.00 defect rate; bespoke one-off elements had 0.71. So compute positions with a formula, and let the linter check the result. ## Preflight on a new machine Installing this skill does **not** install the MCP server — `mcp-deps` is a declaration …

How to install
mdr add anton-abyzov/vskill/excalidraw-mcp@sha256:079d58cd000696abThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
