open_ui
Open the Mindpilot UI application
LABSCO SUMMARY
An architecture described in text becomes something you can point at.
The render call takes Mermaid source and returns SVG, so a diagram the assistant has just reasoned its way to is on screen in the same turn. The rules it holds you to are Mermaid's stricter ones — alphanumeric node IDs, and labels quoted and escaped when they carry spaces, brackets or angle characters.
What it is
Two tools: one renders Mermaid source to SVG with a title and background, the other opens the Mindpilot viewer to look at it.
What you get
- Mermaid source rendered to SVG, with a title and a background you choose
- The Mindpilot viewer opened on what was rendered
Requirements
npx on your PATH. No account and no key.
Setup effort
One command — npx @mindpilot/mcp@latest
USE CASES
01
Turning an architecture the model just described into a diagram
Mermaid source in, SVG out, with a title and a background — the diagram exists in the same turn the design was reasoned about.
02
Looking at a diagram at full size while you talk about it
The viewer opens beside the conversation, which is what a diagram larger than the chat pane needs.
2 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
render_mermaid
Render a Mermaid diagram to SVG format. CRITICAL RULES: 1) Node IDs must be alphanumeric without spaces (use A1, nodeA, start_node). 2) For node labels with special characters, wrap in quotes: A["Label with spaces"] or A["Process (step 1)"]. 3) For quotes in labels use ", for < use <, for > use >. 4) For square brackets in labels use A["Array[0]"]. 5) Always close all brackets and quotes. 6) Use consistent arrow styles (either --> or ->). Example: graph TD A["Complex Label"] --> B{Decision?} B -->|Yes| C["Result "OK""]
IMPORTANT: If the diagram fails validation, the error message will explain what needs to be fixed. Please read the error carefully and retry with a corrected diagram.
