First release of the rewrite for Visual Paradigm 18.1 (also the free Community Edition).

Install

  1. Close Visual Paradigm.
  2. Unzip visual-paradigm-mcp-plugin-0.2.0.zip into the plugins folder so that you get <plugins>/visual-paradigm-mcp-plugin/plugin.xml
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\VisualParadigm\plugins
    • Linux: ~/.config/VisualParadigm/plugins
  3. Start Visual Paradigm, then connect your MCP client, e.g. Claude Code:
    claude mcp add --transport http -s user visual-paradigm http://127.0.0.1:8931/mcp

What's inside

  • 22 MCP tools (Streamable HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8931/mcp, configurable in mcp.properties)
  • Use case, activity (swimlanes), sequence, class, ER and state machine diagrams; many shapes and connectors in one call; image export so the AI can look at the result
  • No dependencies, runs on Visual Paradigm's bundled Java 11

Tested on Windows 11 with Visual Paradigm Community Edition 18.1 (build 20260914).
