About 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.

What clariBI can read
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. Tools that create, change or delete anything are filtered out.
Eraser is one of 86 apps in the clariBI MCP catalog. See the catalog
What you can chart
- 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
How to connect Eraser
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 stored encrypted.
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 clariBI reads Eraser alongside your repository and ticket data.
Questions you can ask
Asking in plain English uses AI credits. The AI decides which Eraser tools to call, totals are computed from the rows they return, and the AI writes the explanation.
- "Which services have code but no architecture diagram?"
- "Do our largest epics each have a design doc?"
About the Eraser connector
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 plans include Eraser?
Eraser needs the trial or a Starter, Professional or Enterprise plan. MCP apps are not part of the Free or Lite plans.
Try Eraser in clariBI
The trial lasts 14 days, includes 50 AI credits and needs no card. When it ends, your account moves to the Free plan and keeps its data and dashboards.
