SciDraw AI plugins

Use SciDraw AI — publication-ready scientific illustrations, charts and editable figure exports — from your AI assistant. One plugin works in Codex (CLI and ChatGPT desktop app) and Claude Code.

It bundles:

• the remote MCP server https://sci-draw.com/api/mcp (sign in with your SciDraw AI account in the browser — no API key needed), and
• four skills that teach the assistant how to brief, generate, edit, export and chart figures without wasting credits.

Usage spends the credits on your SciDraw AI account at the same prices as the website. Failed jobs are refunded. Plans: https://sci-draw.com/pricing

Install

Let your assistant do it — paste this into Codex:

/goal Read https://sci-draw.com/mcp/install.md to install SciDraw AI for Codex and run its first-time setup.

or into Claude:

Connect the SciDraw AI MCP server at https://sci-draw.com/api/mcp

Codex, by hand

codex plugin marketplace add TopLocalAI/scidraw-plugins --ref main
codex plugin add scidraw-ai@scidraw-marketplace

Claude Code, by hand

/plugin marketplace add TopLocalAI/scidraw-plugins
/plugin install scidraw-ai@scidraw-plugins

Then run /mcp in Claude Code (or follow the sign-in prompt in Codex) and allow SciDraw AI in the browser.

ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Cursor and other MCP clients — add the server URL https://sci-draw.com/api/mcp as a custom connector. Step-by-step guide: https://sci-draw.com/mcp
