📖 Resources

• Model Context Protocol
• OpenAI API Documentation

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher)
• An OpenAI API key

Setup

1. API Key

First, get an OpenAI API key from OpenAI's platform. This will be used to authenticate the MCP server with OpenAI's services.

2. Configure MCP Client for Local Development

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-draw": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-draw@latest"
        "--api-key",
        "<REPLACE-WITH-YOUR-OPENAI-API-KEY>",
        "--output-dir",
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/SAVE/OUTPUT_FOLDER"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Local Development Setup

1. API Key

First, get an OpenAI API key from OpenAI's platform. This will be used to authenticate the MCP server with OpenAI's services.
