## Theme Support

1. Built-in Mermaid themes: "default", "forest", "dark", "neutral", "base"
2. Custom CSS themes from the `css/` directory
3. Custom JSON theme configurations in the `themes/` directory

### Using a Theme

# Use a CSS theme
mermaid-mcp cli chart --css-theme=dark-mode flowchart diagram.mmd output.svg

# Use a JSON theme
mermaid-mcp cli chart --json-theme=forest-night flowchart diagram.mmd output.svg
```

#### In Server mode

```json
// Example request to /generate/flowchart
{
  "input": "graph TD\n  A[Start] --> B[End]",
  "css_theme": "dark-mode"
}
```

### Creating Custom Themes
