Xmind Generator MCP Server

by BangyiZhang

Xmind Generator MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for generating Xmind mind maps. This server allows LLMs to create structured mind maps through the MCP protocol.

Features

  • Generate Xmind mind maps with hierarchical topic structures
  • Support for topic notes, labels, and markers
  • Save mind maps to local files
  • Easy integration with Claude Desktop and other MCP clients

Prerequisites

  • Node.js: Version 18 or higher is required
  • Xmind: Install Xmind desktop application to open and edit the generated mind maps
  • Claude Desktop: Required to use this tool as an extension

Setup with Claude Desktop

  1. Create or edit the Claude Desktop configuration file:
    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  2. Add the following configuration:
    { "mcpServers": { "xmind-generator": { "command": "npx", "args": ["xmind-generator-mcp"], "env": { "outputPath": "/path/to/save/xmind/files", "autoOpenFile": "false" } } } }
  3. Restart Claude Desktop
  4. Start using the Xmind generator in your conversations

Option 2: Local Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
    git clone https://github.com/BangyiZhang/xmind-generator-mcp.git cd xmind-generator-mcp npm install npm run build
  2. Create or edit the Claude Desktop configuration file:
    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  3. Add the following configuration:
    { "mcpServers": { "xmind-generator": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/xmind-generator-mcp/dist/index.js"], "env": { "outputPath": "/path/to/save/xmind/files", "autoOpenFile": "false" } } } }
  4. Replace path/to/xmind-generator-mcp with the actual path to your cloned project
  5. Restart Claude Desktop
  6. Start using the Xmind generator in your conversations

Note: The env section is optional. It allows you to set environment variables for the server:

  • outputPath: Default directory or file path where Xmind files will be saved. This can be overridden by the outputPath parameter in the tool call.
  • autoOpenFile: Controls whether generated Xmind files are automatically opened after creation. Set to "false" to disable auto-opening (default is "true").

Available Tools

generate-mind-map

Generates an Xmind mind map from a hierarchical structure of topics.

Parameters:

  • title (string): The title of the mind map (root topic)
  • topics (array): Array of topics to include in the mind map
    • title (string): The title of the topic
    • ref (string, optional): Reference ID for the topic
    • note (string, optional): Note for the topic
    • labels (array of strings, optional): Labels for the topic
    • markers (array of strings, optional): Markers for the topic (format: "Category.name", e.g., "Arrow.refresh")
    • children (array, optional): Array of child topics
  • relationships (array, optional): Array of relationships between topics
  • outputPath (string, optional): Custom output path for the Xmind file. This overrides the environment variable if set.

Example

Here's an example of how to use the generate-mind-map tool:

{ "title": "Project Plan", "topics": [ { "title": "Research", "ref": "topic:research", "note": "Gather information about the market", "children": [ { "title": "Market Analysis", "labels": ["Priority: High"] }, { "title": "Competitor Research", "markers": ["Task.quarter"] } ] }, { "title": "Development", "children": [ { "title": "Frontend", "markers": ["Arrow.refresh"] }, { "title": "Backend" } ] } ] }
