PlantUML MCP Integration for Codex
Connect PlantUML to Codex through the local KosmoKrator MCP gateway with scoped tools, credentials, and write policy.
Connect PlantUML to Codex
Use KosmoKrator as a local MCP proxy for Codex so coding sessions can reach selected integrations with explicit write policy.
Register kosmo mcp:serve as a local stdio server and choose the integration allowlist. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with
--write=deny so Codex can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.
PlantUML MCP Config for Codex
Keep write access denied or ask-based unless the workspace is trusted.

kosmokrator mcp:serve --integration=plantuml --write=deny Why Use KosmoKrator Here
Expose only PlantUML instead of a broad multi-service tool list.
Reuse credentials already configured for the KosmoKrator CLI and Lua runtime.
Start read-only, then opt into ask or allow for trusted workspaces.
PlantUML Tools Visible to Codex
Codex sees stable MCP tool names generated from the PlantUML integration catalog.
| MCP tool | Source function | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
integration__plantuml__render_plantuml | plantuml.render_plantuml | Write | Render a PlantUML diagram to a PNG image. Pass valid PlantUML syntax and get back a markdown image embed. Supported diagram types: class, sequence, activity, component, state, use case, object, deployment, timing, network (nwdiag), wireframe (salt), Gantt, mindmap, WBS, JSON, YAML, ERD. Example syntax: ``` @startuml Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response Alice -> Bob: Another request Bob --> Alice: Another response @enduml ``` Tips: - Always wrap syntax in @startuml / @enduml - Use `->` for solid arrows, `-->` for dashed arrows - Use `class ClassName { }` blocks for class diagrams - Use `(*) -->` for activity diagram start - Use `[Component]` for component diagrams - Use `state "Name" as s1` for state diagrams |
