Our reading of Zindex, from the data
Zindex is a cloud platforms MCP server, listed in the official MCP Registry.
Its 9 tools add about 2,625 tokens to every model turn, heavier than the cloud platforms median of 611 tokens across 102 measured servers (measured 2026-10-19).
Maintenance is active: the last public signal was 5 days ago (2026-10-13). For comparison, 62% of cloud platforms servers are active or maintained.
It runs as a hosted endpoint, so there is nothing to install.

Tools (9)
diagram_edit408 tokChanges a saved diagram as a new revision; old ones stay. Give baseRevision (the revision you last read), a one-line message, and ops (typed operations, https://zindex.ai/schemas/ops.schema.json), mermaid (the whole diagram edited from view mermaid; only differences apply), restoreRevision (an earlier version back), or brief. An edit with an error saves nothing; one that changes nothing returns noop. requestId makes a retry return the first result. A conflict lists what changed.
diagram_share374 tokpublish makes a diagram readable by anyone at its link; unpublish makes it private. link makes a share link showing its images, not its scene, to anyone who has it; unlink revokes them all. report sends one version to Zindex support. feedback sends Zindex staff a bug, docs (the docs and engine disagree), request or other; id or snippet attaches a diagram. Asks the user to confirm publish, link, report and feedback.
diagram_get312 tokReads a diagram by id or key. The default outline: a header (id, title, revision, time, hash), the brief, recent versions, one element per line nested by container, and edges as 'id: from -> to'. view 'dsp' returns the scene JSON, 'mermaid' Mermaid to edit and send back to diagram_edit. revision or asOf reads an earlier version; knownRevision, only what changed since; elements, only those elements and their neighbors. Another workspace's diagram answers NOT_FOUND.
diagram_create249 tokSaves a new diagram from a DSP scene or Mermaid text; returns its id, revision 1, content hash and chain hash. key is your stable name for it, unique in the workspace: your repeat with the same key and content returns the existing diagram, not a copy. brief stores context for the next agent. Versions are kept until you delete the diagram or its workspace is deleted.
diagram_render245 tokSVG and PNG links to a saved diagram's version, not the image, with hashes and engine version. A published diagram's links are permanent, with url for its page; others last 7 days. preview adds a PNG for you. scene or mermaid instead of id previews an unsaved diagram.
diagram_history222 tokLists a diagram's versions, newest first, with time, who made it (by), client, message, chain hash and counts of elements added, changed and removed. compare (from and to: revision numbers or dates) returns what changed between two versions instead.
diagram_validate136 tokChecks a DSP scene or Mermaid text without saving it. Returns ok, errors and warnings, each with a code, the element if any, and a one-line fix.
diagram_find113 tokLists this workspace's diagrams, latest change first, with id, key, title and latest revision. query matches the title, key or brief, ignoring case.
diagram_delete113 tokDeletes a diagram with all its versions. undo restores it within 24 hours; after that it is gone. Asks the user to confirm.
