The JavaFX Drawing MCP server enables Large Language Models to create visual content using JavaFX primitives. Built on Quarkus MCP, this tool allows AI models to generate and manipulate graphical elements in real-time. Originally conceived by @konczdev, this implementation provides a powerful interface for AI-driven visual creation.

Overview

The JavaFX Drawing MCP server bridges the gap between Large Language Models and graphical creation, allowing AI models to generate visual content using JavaFX primitives. This server enables AI assistants to create drawings, diagrams, and visual representations directly through conversation.

Installation

To use the JavaFX Drawing MCP server, you'll need to:

Install JBang on your system
Configure your MCP client to run the server using JBang

The server runs as a JBang application, making it easy to deploy without complex setup procedures.

Configuration

For Claude Desktop

Add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jfx": {
      "command": "jbang",
      "args": [
        "jfx@quarkiverse/quarkus-mcp-servers"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For mcp-cli

If you're using mcp-cli, add the same configuration to your server_config.json file.

Usage

Once configured, you can interact with the JavaFX Drawing MCP through your AI assistant. The server will interpret commands to create visual elements using JavaFX primitives.

You can ask the AI to:

Draw shapes (circles, rectangles, lines)
Create complex diagrams
Visualize concepts through drawings
Manipulate existing elements

Limitations

Currently, the JavaFX server cannot be compiled to a native executable due to JavaFX dependencies. While it may be possible to create a native image using GluonFX, this functionality is not yet implemented.

Examples
