Eraser + clariBI
Connect Eraser through clariBI's MCP catalog. Read-only OAuth, and your engineering design docs and diagram-as-code counted by type, folder, and last-edited date.
Native Eraser connector via the MCP catalog.
Connect with OAuth, keep the access read-only, and ask questions across Eraser and your other tools in plain English. The setup is the same one-click flow as Google Analytics, Stripe, Meta Ads, or Jira.
What is Eraser?
Eraser is a design tool for software teams. Engineers write design docs and define architecture as code: sequence diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams, cloud-architecture diagrams, flowcharts, and BPMN, all kept in versioned files alongside the explanation.
clariBI reaches your Eraser workspace through its hosted MCP server: getting a single resource, listing files, diagrams, folders, and presets, full-text search across the workspace, and exporting a diagram to an image. Reads inherit the connected user's team access, and clariBI never generates, creates, edits, or deletes anything.

Connect Eraser in three steps
Open Data Sources in clariBI
In clariBI, go to Data Sources → Add Data Source → MCP Servers tab. Find Eraser in the catalog and click Connect.
Authorize with Eraser (OAuth)
An Eraser sign-in opens in your browser. Approve the read access. clariBI uses Dynamic Client Registration, so there is no Eraser app to register, and credentials are Fernet-encrypted at rest.
Ask questions, get dashboards
clariBI surfaces file and diagram counts by type and edit recency. Ask "How many sequence diagrams do we have per service?" and the AI engine queries Eraser alongside your repository and ticket data.
What you can analyze
Out of the box with the Eraser MCP connector:
- File and diagram count by type and folder
- Diagrams by kind: sequence, entity-relationship, cloud-architecture, flowchart
- Design docs created or last edited within a window
- Stale docs untouched since a chosen date
- Folder structure and how files spread across it
- Cross-source: design docs per service → GitHub repositories with no diagram
Eraser is one of 90+ vendors in the clariBI MCP catalog. See the full list →
What the AI engine can call
clariBI discovers Eraser's tool surface at connection time and exposes the read-only tools to the planner. Write or configuration tools are filtered out by the catalog's read-only heuristic, so the connector stays analytical.
When you connect, clariBI lists the tools your Eraser MCP server advertises and keeps the read-only ones: getting a resource, listing files, diagrams, folders, and presets, full-text search, and exporting a diagram to an image.
Anything that would change Eraser is excluded at the catalog layer and never reachable through clariBI.

Cross-source questions Eraser makes possible
Eraser data is most useful next to your other tools. clariBI's planner composes it with your CRM, billing, and product data through the same entity-join primitives that back every cross-source analysis.
Eraser × GitHub
"Which services have code but no architecture diagram?"
Planner: list diagrams and the folders they sit in from Eraser, match folder or file names to GitHub repositories, and flag repositories with no matching diagram.
Eraser × Jira
"Do our largest epics each have a design doc?"
Planner: read open epics from Jira, search Eraser for files mentioning each epic, and list the epics with no design doc behind them.
Eraser connector FAQ
Do I need to register an app with Eraser?
No. clariBI uses Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), so Eraser issues the connection credentials at connect time. You do not manage any keys in clariBI.
Eraser can generate diagrams. Can clariBI do that too?
No. Eraser's MCP server can generate and edit diagrams, but the catalog keeps the read tools only. clariBI gets, lists, searches, and exports; the generate, create, update, and delete tools are filtered out and never reachable.
How much analytics value is there in a design-doc tool?
It is honest to say the surface is modest. clariBI reports file and diagram inventory, type breakdown, and edit recency, which suits auditing engineering documentation or composing with your repositories and tickets, not standalone revenue dashboards.
Which clariBI plan includes the Eraser connector?
MCP integrations are available on the Trial, Starter, Professional, and Enterprise plans. You can connect Eraser during the free 14-day trial.
