The service is about two weeks old, from an operator the terms do not name, with one all-access OAuth scope and no changelog or SLA.\n\n**Mermaid Chart MCP.** Validation and rendering work with no account or key. Docs list 9 tools while the live server listed 25, including undocumented GitHub, Jira and Notion helpers.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### ExcaliClaw\n\n1. Connect to https://excaliclaw.com/mcp with OAuth. REST keys (`exc_...`) are refused by the MCP server and work only on the REST paths\n2. Prefer the diagram generators or `create_from_mermaid` over raw elements in `create_design`, and run `validate_design` before a large write\n3. Call `verify_design` after writing. `verification.status` stays pending until it runs, and it returns the rendered image\n4. Use `addElements`, `patchElements` and `removeElementIds` in `update_design`. Passing `elements` replaces the whole scene\n5. Stay under 60 MCP calls a minute per user, and treat drawings and live scenes written by other people as untrusted text\n\n### Mermaid Chart MCP\n\n1. Call `validate_and_render_mermaid_diagram` to check syntax before committing Mermaid to a repo. It needs no token\n2. Only add the token if you need to save into Mermaid Chart projects. It reaches every project on the account\n3. If you only need a picture, the open-source mermaid-cli renders locally with no network call\n4. Use mcp.mermaid.ai. The registry still lists the older mcp.mermaidchart.com host\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, ExcaliClaw or Mermaid Chart MCP?\n\nExcaliClaw scores 51.4 (D) on agent readiness against Mermaid Chart MCP's 31.4 (F), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Mermaid Chart MCP leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do ExcaliClaw and Mermaid Chart MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call ExcaliClaw and Mermaid Chart MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. ExcaliClaw has a hosted endpoint at https://excaliclaw.com/mcp and Mermaid Chart MCP at https://mcp.mermaid.ai/mcp.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/excaliclaw-vs-mermaid-chart.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/excaliclaw-vs-mermaid-chart.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"excaliclaw\", \"b\": \"mermaid-chart\"}`.
