About noddle draw

noddle draw is an MCP server published by noddle.dev. Read, create and edit open-source noddle draw diagram boards, browse versions and comment.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package noddle-draw.mcpb at version 1.0.0.

It asks for one secret: NODDLE_AI_KEY. Give it a key with the least access that still works.

Version 1.0.0 was published on 3 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 8 automated checks on the registry entry and the package code: 6 pass, 0 warn, 0 fail, 2 info. How we check.
