Lucid’s connector creates diagrams, searches, edits, shares, and retrieves docs to summarize.
Connect your AI tools to Lucid to intelligently search for files, create visuals, and share with your team.
The Lucid Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is a cloud-hosted bridge between your Lucid documents and AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Cursor. Once connected, you can use natural language to search, retrieve, edit, summarize, and create Lucid documents from inside your AI client.
https://mcp.lucid.app/mcpWith the Lucid MCP server connected, you can prompt your AI tool to:
"Show me all Lucid documents that talk about the website redesign project."
"Find the 'Q4 Website Redesign Workflow' document in Lucid, and give me a summary of action items."
"Create a diagram in Lucid that maps out a user authentication flow."
"In my Lucid IT Escalation Process document, update all decision blocks to a red fill with bold white text."
"Create a shareable link with view-only permissions for my 'FY26 Q3 Product Roadmap' document in Lucid."
The Lucid MCP server is compatible with any MCP client. For one-click setup, Lucid offers dedicated connectors for ChatGPT and Claude:
For other clients, follow the MCP-setup docs for your tool of choice and use the server URL https://mcp.lucid.app/mcp:
| Client | Setup docs |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Developer mode |
| Claude desktop | Local MCP servers on Claude desktop |
| Claude web | Custom connectors using remote MCP |
| Claude Code | Installing MCP servers |
| Microsoft Copilot Studio | Add an existing MCP server |
| GitHub Copilot | Extend Copilot Chat with MCP |
| Cursor | MCP context; install via /add-plugin lucid — see Cursor plugin below |
| Windsurf | Configuring your first MCP server |
This is not an exhaustive list — the Lucid MCP server works with any MCP-compatible client.
AI tools you set up with the Lucid MCP server are Non-Lucid Applications (as defined in our Terms of Service). Your use of these AI tools is subject to the agreement between you and the third-party provider.
Install the Cursor plugin for bundled MCP config and a unified Lucid agent skill:
/add-plugin lucid
See cursor/README.md for Cursor-specific setup, skills, and example prompts.
Some clients require you to edit a JSON config file directly.
If your client supports the HTTP transport:
"Lucid Software": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.lucid.app/mcp"
}
If your client does not support HTTP transport, use the mcp-remote Node.js package to forward stdio requests to the Lucid MCP server. Node.js must be installed.
"Lucid Software": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.lucid.app/mcp"]
}
Admins on Team and Enterprise accounts can control whether users can connect to the Lucid MCP server.
Granting access allows users to connect from any AI client. To restrict access to specific AI tools, you'll need to disable the MCP server at the account level.
See FAQ.md for answers to common questions about how the server works, what it can access, how data is handled, the diagram types it can create, and how it differs from standard text-to-AI connections.
