Tavotto is an open-source scientific-figure editor. Its Codex plugin serves ui://tavotto/canvas/v1.html as text/html;profile=mcp-app, so a compatible host can open the editable canvas directly from the figure tools.

Not for: Generating research conclusions or validating scientific claims. Tavotto edits and checks artwork; it does not verify the underlying data.
