Lucidchart API
Lucid publishes a public REST API with document CRUD, folder and team management, import and export in PDF, PNG, SVG, and CSV, plus embed tokens and webhooks. OAuth 2.0 app registration at developer.lucid.co is mandatory; there is no API-key alternative. SCIM handles provisioning.
Frequently asked questions
Lucidchart scores A on Supergood's API Report Card. Lucid publishes a public REST API with document CRUD, folder and team management, import and export in PDF, PNG, SVG, and CSV, plus embed tokens and webhooks. OAuth 2.0 app registration at developer.lucid.co is mandatory; there is no API-key alternative. SCIM handles provisioning.
Lucidchart has a workable official integration path. Most engineering teams can build against it directly. Open API: self-serve, documented, with SDKs
Lucidchart is the flagship intelligent diagramming product from Lucid Software (Salt Lake City, UT; founded 2010 by Ben Dilts and Karl Sun). It is a browser-based application for building flowcharts, org charts, process maps, network/architecture diagrams, ERDs, mind maps, UML, and BPMN.
Horizontal enterprise productivity / visual collaboration SaaS. Buyers are IT and engineering organizations, product/UX teams, PMO/operations, HR (org charts and process mapping), and educational institutions. Architecture and infrastructure diagrams (AWS/Azure/GCP imports via Lucidscale). Software design: UML, sequence diagrams, ERDs, system context maps. Business process mapping, swim lanes, BPMN.
Very high within its category.
Documents/diagrams (boards) and pages within them. Shape/element graph data (nodes, edges, text, custom data). Folders, teams, users, groups, roles (SCIM). Linked data sources (CSV, Google Sheets, BambooHR, SQL via Lucidscale, AWS/Azure/GCP imports).
Founded 2010; the web app has been continuously rewritten on modern stacks and added AI features (text-to-diagram, AI assist, AI-generated org charts) in 2023-2025.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Lucidchart scores GOOD on MCP availability. Lucid publishes an official cloud-hosted MCP server at mcp.lucid.app that can search, create, edit, summarize, and export Lucid documents including Lucidchart. Setup is documented in the lucidsoftware GitHub repo, a Lucid marketplace listing, and a help.lucid.co guide, with activity through mid 2026.
Yes. Lucidchart publishes an official MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex can connect to it directly. Setup instructions are in the vendor's documentation.
