22 diagram types and multi-format export actually works. Sequence diagram edge cases handled better than I expected. Would keep it.

22 diagram types and I've tried most of them. Flowchart and sequence diagram templates are genuinely good. Makes documentation way less pai…

Architecture diagrams in like 15 minutes. 22 types feels like overkill but having the templates saves me from looking up syntax every time.

I make diagrams for everything now. Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, ER stuff. The template library alone is worth installing this. Really en…

22 diagram types is more than I'll ever need but having them available is nice. SVG export is clean. Would be 5 stars if Claude integration…

Mermaid diagrams on demand is great. I use this constantly when I'm thinking through system designs in chat.

22+ diagram types is a real number. Using this for architecture docs and sequence diagrams during design sessions. Saves me opening a brows…

22 diagram types sounds like a lot but I mostly need flowcharts. Outputs are fine, just more than I need day to day.

Really helped making diagrams for class projects. The templates are super useful when you don't know the syntax yet.

22+ diagram types and SVG export. Pretty handy for documentation. Wish the templates were easier to browse.

03SECURITYWHAT WE CHECKED

Security flags foundOur static scan found signals worth reviewing before you trust this with an agent. See exactly what, per check, below.

Telemetry disclosureUndisclosed egress detected.Static checks found network calls the docs do not mention. Disclosed telemetry is common and fine, silent telemetry is the finding.

Security tierTier 1, Contained.No network access and no credentials. Runs entirely on its own. What tiers mean

Install-time hooks & dependencies1 finding

INFOmermaid-mcp-server/package.json — npm 'prepare' lifecycle hook: install hook runs a build at install (recognized toolchain), standard for a compiled package. Recorded for completeness, not a flag.

Runs code / shell commands1 finding

MEDIUMmermaid-mcp-server/test-global-dompurify.js:15 — Code-execution surface: a new Function() call site. The server can run commands on the host; review what it executes and whether any input reaches it.

Secrets & credentialsno flags

How it reads, logs, or transmits keys and tokens. Scam/wallet-drainer patterns land here.

Network calls out3 findings

MEDIUMmcp-connector/src/rest-api.ts:324 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'mermaid.js.org'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.

MEDIUMmcp-connector/src/rest-api.ts:326 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'github.com'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.

MEDIUMmermaid-mcp-server/generate-svg-samples.js:356 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'cdn.jsdelivr.net'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.

Prompt-injection passthrough1 finding

INFOmermaid-mcp-server/src/tools/templates.ts — HEURISTIC: this file both fetches external content and returns content as tool output, with no obvious sanitization. External text returned into tool output can carry instructions an agent obeys (prompt-injection passthrough). Confirm manually; this is a hint, not proof.

Permission scope breadthno flags

How much access it asks for versus what its job needs.

How to read this: these are static checks over the source at a point in time. They catch the patterns above, not everything. Absence of a flag is not absence of danger, and a tool that runs cleanly can still behave differently once installed. We do not call any tool simply "safe". Runtime-behavior checks are the next layer we are adding.
