LayerBack MCP Server

Give your AI agent the one diagram skill it's missing: turning pictures of diagrams into fully editable files.

Agents can write Mermaid — but when the input is a screenshot, a whiteboard photo, or a diagram trapped in a PDF page, they're stuck. This MCP server connects any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, …) to LayerBack, which rebuilds every shape, connector, and label as a native object and returns Visio (VSDX), PowerPoint (PPTX), draw.io, and SVG — all editable, from one conversion.

Tool

What it does

convert_diagram_image

Convert a local image file (PNG/JPG/WebP); waits for the result by default (~30–60 s)

get_conversion_status

Poll a running job

download_converted_diagram

Save any output format to a local path

Setup

Create an API key at https://layerback.com/settings/apikeys (new accounts include free credits — one conversion costs 10 and includes every output format).

Add the server to your MCP client config:

{ "mcpServers": { "layerback": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "layerback-mcp"], "env": { "LAYERBACK_API_KEY": "your-key-here" } } } }
