plantuml_web

Using nicegui as a PlantUML frontend, you can deploy PlantUML on an intranet.

It's a nicegui demo project with an added MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes PlantUML functionality to AI assistants.

Plantuml jar version: plantuml-1.2025.3.jar

Features

Web Interface

• Interactive PlantUML editor with live preview
• Save and load diagrams
• Responsive UI with resizable panels

MCP Server

• Generate PlantUML diagrams in SVG or PNG format
• Validate PlantUML code with detailed error messages

# docker pull  2niuhe/plantuml_web_mcp:latest

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8765:8765 plantuml_web_mcp:latest
