Build diagrams, boards and Spaces in Vani by describing them
Overview
Vani is Zoho's visual workspace, and this connector builds one from a description. A Space takes shape as diagrams, shapes, text, connectors and Kanban boards without opening the application.
At 109 published tools the surface is wide, which suits a canvas product, since every element type and every property on it needs its own operation for construction to be precise. Managing Spaces is included alongside creating their contents. No endpoint URL appears in the directory listing. This connector carries the partner tier, meaning it passed a review step, and Zoho publishes documentation.

The listing publishes no endpoint URL, so there was nothing to connect to and 109 is Zoho's own count. The listing describes Space construction across diagrams, shapes, text, connectors and boards.
Availability
Vani by Zoho is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Zoho has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
Vani by Zoho publishes 109 tools to Claude, a deeper surface than 98.7% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors, the top decile.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one runs 97 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 8th of 462 by tool count.
It falls in the 51+ tools band, which holds 9.6% of the Claude directory.
Vani by Zoho's Claude listing does not publish an endpoint URL. 48 of the 1,253 Claude listings are in the same position: real listings with documentation but no URL in the directory record, so the endpoint has to come from the publisher's own docs.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
Vani by Zoho carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
In the publisher's words
Connect Vani to Claude and build your workspace by describing it. Say what you need and your Space takes shape - diagrams, shapes, text, connectors, Kanban boards, and more - without leaving the chat.

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from Vani by Zoho's public marketplace listing as it stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with Zoho, and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
Node8 builds MCP servers end to end: deciding which tools are worth exposing, the authentication and permission model, the review submissions, and the onboarding that gets them used. One server serves ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
