## What it does

flowzap gives MCP-compatible assistants access to the FlowZap Code DSL. They can create workflow, sequence, architecture, and mind map diagrams, then validate syntax, repair mechanical issues, inspect the graph as JSON, compare revisions, or apply a focused patch.

The server can turn HTTP logs, OpenAPI specifications, or code into diagrams and create shareable playground URLs. Mind map actions include readiness checks, a tree template, and a dedicated playground view. Its `flowzap_compliance_check` tool audits data-flow diagrams for SOC2, GDPR, and PIPL, with limits of 3/day per IP, 1/hour burst, and a global 5-min circuit breaker.

## When to use it
- turn a system description into a workflow diagram
- map service requests and responses as a sequence
- parse HTTP logs or OpenAPI into a diagram
- compare two FlowZap Code revisions
- repair mechanical diagram-code errors

## Example prompts
- Create a sequence diagram for the sign-in flow in this application.
- Turn these HTTP logs into a diagram of the request path.
- Compare this workflow with its previous version and show what changed.
