How to Set Up and Use Mind Map

Mind Map MCP Server is a Python-based server that converts Markdown-formatted text into visually rendered mind map images (PNG) using the markmap-cli and Playwright Chromium renderer. It exposes two tools—create_mind_map for generating images from structured Markdown and list_images for querying previously generated maps by date or name. The server supports multiple storage backends including local disk, Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, Aliyun OSS, and MinIO, making it suitable for both personal use and production deployments where generated diagrams need to be shared via URL.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8 or higher installed
  • Node.js installed (required for markmap-cli)
  • Docker and Docker Compose (recommended for easiest setup)
  • An MCP-capable client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
  • Optional: Cloud storage credentials (AWS, Azure, GCP, Aliyun) if not using local storage
1

Clone the repository

Clone the mind-map-mcp-server repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/sawyer-shi/mind-map-mcp-server.git
cd mind-map-mcp-server
2

Start with Docker (recommended)

The easiest way to run the server is with Docker Compose, which bundles the MCP service on port 8091 and a static file server on port 8090.

docker-compose up -d
3

Local installation (alternative)

If you prefer running without Docker, install Python dependencies, markmap-cli, and the Playwright Chromium browser.

pip install -r requirements.txt
npm install -g markmap-cli
playwrigh install chromium
python main.py
4

Configure storage backend

Set STORAGE_TYPE to your preferred backend. For local storage, the default of 'local' works out of the box. For S3, set the AWS credentials and region environment variables.

export STORAGE_TYPE=local
export LOCAL_HOST=127.0.0.1
# For S3:
# export STORAGE_TYPE=amazon_s3
# export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
# export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
# export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
5

Configure your MCP client

Add the Mind Map server to your Claude Desktop configuration. The server communicates over HTTP on port 8091.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mind-map": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["main.py"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/mind-map-mcp-server"
    }
  }
}

Mind Map Examples

Client configuration

Configure Claude Desktop to connect to a locally running Mind Map MCP server using the uvx auto-start method.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mind-map": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["main.py"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/mind-map-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "STORAGE_TYPE": "local",
        "LOCAL_HOST": "127.0.0.1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Use these prompts in Claude to generate and manage mind maps from structured content.

- "Create a mind map from this outline: # Learning Python\n## Basics\n### Variables\n### Loops\n## Advanced\n### Decorators\n### Async"
- "Generate a high-quality mind map of the software development lifecycle"
- "Show me all mind maps I created today"
- "List images with 'project' in the name"
- "Create a mind map for my presentation on machine learning concepts"

Troubleshooting Mind Map

Chromium/Playwright launch fails during image generation

Run 'playwright install chromium' to download the browser binary. On Linux servers, also install system dependencies with 'playwright install-deps chromium'.

Mind map images not accessible via URL

Ensure LOCAL_HOST is set to your machine's actual IP address (not 127.0.0.1) when accessing from other machines. For remote access, set LOCAL_HOST to your server's public IP or hostname.

markmap-cli not found error

Install markmap-cli globally with 'npm install -g markmap-cli' and verify Node.js is in your PATH. The server requires both markmap-cli and Playwright to render mind maps.
