Line9's renderer, inside your assistant.
Line9 renders the Mermaid you already write with its own layout engine — same .mmd source, cleaner placement, orthogonal edges, readable
type. Until now that lived in the web viewer and the CLI. The hosted MCP server puts it in the
conversation: ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, VS Code.
Before, and after
An assistant writes Mermaid and the host draws it with stock layout — overlapping nodes, tangled edges, a diagram you would not put in a doc. Add Line9 and the same source is laid out by Line9's engine and shown as a zoomable widget in the thread, one click from line9.ai/diagram.
Hosts
Connect from claude.ai and Claude Desktop, ChatGPT (developer mode), Cursor, and VS Code. Claude Code can call the same server; in a terminal you get the verdict text and an Open-in-Line9 link, not the widget.
Add Line9
One-click for Cursor and VS Code. Other hosts take the URL https://mcp.line9.ai/mcp — steps for each are on
the MCP docs.
Or paste this into your MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"line9": {
"url": "https://mcp.line9.ai/mcp"
}
}
}Data handling
How Line9's MCP handles your data is written out once, on the docs — not restated here.
