Integrate Excalidraw MCP server into your Slack workspace for instant access to your AI agent.
Tools that your AI agent can use through this MCP server to interact with Excalidraw
Updates an existing Excalidraw scene's name or collection membership. Use List Scenes to find the scene ID, and List Collections to find a collection ID if moving the scene. Only the fields you provide are updated — omitted fields remain unchanged. Note: the Excalidraw API does not support a description field on scenes. See the documentation
Returns scenes (whiteboards) in the Excalidraw Plus workspace. Optionally filter by collection ID or apply a name substring filter (applied client-side, since the API has no server-side search). When the user says 'scenes in [collection]', use List Collections first to get the collection ID, then pass it as collectionId here. Use nameFilter (and limit) to narrow results when the user asks for a scene by name — the tool fetches up to limit scenes and returns only those whose name contains the filter string. See the documentation
Returns all collections (folders) in the Excalidraw Plus workspace. Use this to discover available collection IDs and names before filtering scenes by collection or creating a scene in a specific collection. Cross-reference: pass a collection ID from this result to List Scenes or Create Scene. See the documentation
Returns metadata for a specific Excalidraw scene, and optionally its full drawing content (elements JSON). Use this when the user asks to view, inspect, or read a specific scene. Use List Scenes first to find the scene ID by name. Set includeContent to true only when the user explicitly asks for the drawing data — the content can be large. See the documentation
Returns the current workspace context from Excalidraw Plus, including workspace ID, name, user IDs, and roles. Use this when the user asks 'who am I', 'what workspace am I in', or needs the workspace ID or user role. See the documentation
Permanently deletes an Excalidraw scene and all its drawing content. This action cannot be undone. Use List Scenes to find the scene ID before calling this tool. See the documentation
Creates a new scene (whiteboard) in the Excalidraw Plus workspace. The API requires a collection — if no collectionId is provided, the scene is placed in the default (Main) collection automatically. Use List Collections to find the collection ID if the user wants the scene in a specific folder. Returns the new scene's ID and metadata. See the documentation
Creates a new collection (folder) in the Excalidraw Plus workspace for organizing scenes. Returns the new collection's ID — pass it to Create Scene or Update Scene to add scenes to this collection. See the documentation
