## What it does

This server provides AI models with tools to interact with documents on `livediagram.app`. The assistant can create empty boards, update nodes, and inspect existing schematics without leaving the editor.

The service runs as a Cloudflare Worker on `mcp.livediagram.app`. Tool calls flow over HTTP. Authentication relies on OAuth.

You do not need a local Node.js environment to run it. If network policies block requests to `mcp.livediagram.app`, tool calls will fail immediately.

## Requirements
- Remote server: `https://mcp.livediagram.app/mcp`
