Verdicts

Mumble

Mumble keeps audio on the Mac and stores each conversation as plain files in ~/Mumble, with canvas JSON that diffs cleanly. There is no API or MCP server an outside agent can call today. The documented mumble-mcp has no public download, package or repository, and the app is reached only through an early-access waitlist.

Whimsical MCP

OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and separate read and write scopes. No API keys, so it can't run headless or in CI.

Before you call either

Mumble

  1. Don't plan to call Mumble from another agent. Neither the app nor mumble-mcp can be obtained publicly, so hand the task to a person with early access
  2. Don't configure /path/to/mumble-mcp from the docs. It is a placeholder, and no binary is published
  3. If the person already has Mumble, read ~/Mumble/<capture>/ directly, capture.json for the transcript and diagram.canvas for the map
  4. Keep canvas keys in schema order and never rename a node id, or the edges that name it are orphaned and the canvas is refused. Use git as the undo
  5. Don't write to a capture that is being recorded. The app doesn't merge the two versions

Whimsical MCP

  1. Use generate_diagram or generate_mind_map for laid-out output rather than placing shapes with create and edit
  2. Call how_to for Whimsical's syntax before writing a large diagram
  3. Use fetch when you need a PNG snapshot of a board
  4. delete removes files or objects without asking. Confirm with the person first

Disclosure

Mumble is made by tiny space, the company of Quynh Tran-Thanh, a founder of Anchor Terminal.
