OnUML
OnUML is an online UML editor and AI diagram generator for Mermaid, PlantUML, Draw.io, and mind maps.
What OnUML is
OnUML is an online UML editor and AI diagram generator for Mermaid, PlantUML, Draw.io, and mind maps. It can create diagrams from natural-language prompts and supported image inputs, then lets users refine them visually or in code with a real-time preview. A one-click repair option addresses Mermaid and PlantUML syntax errors. Projects can hold organized diagrams and multiple code versions, which users can restore. Finished diagrams can be exported as PNG or SVG or shared with a link.
OnUML also provides a remote MCP server for coding agents including Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenClaw. It follows workspace permissions and can read or update Mermaid, PlantUML, and OnUML mind maps; Draw.io is excluded from MCP. The free plan is free, billed forever, and limits diagrams, projects, workspaces, and daily model requests. Paid options include a 4.90 USD one-time Starter plan, an $8 a month Pro plan, a 9.90 USD one-time Popular plan, and a 19.90 USD one-time Pro Pack.
