The Excalidraw MCP integration connects your Dench AI CRM directly to Excalidraw MCP, so agents can read and act on your Excalidraw MCP data as part of everyday work — answering questions in chat, keeping your CRM in sync, and running automations without anyone copying data between tools.
5 actions are available for agents to invoke on your behalf. Every call runs through Excalidraw MCP's own authorization, scoped to the account you connect.
