Markmap MCP Server

MCP server for converting Markdown to interactive mind maps with export support (PNG/JPG/SVG). Exposed over MCP by the markmap mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and run locally:

• 🌠 Markdown to Mind Map: Convert Markdown text to interactive mind maps
• 🖼️ Multi-format Export: Support for exporting as PNG, JPG, and SVG images
• 🔄 Interactive Operations: Support for zooming, expanding/collapsing nodes, and other interactive features
• 📋 Markdown Copy: One-click copy of the original Markdown content
• 🌐 Automatic Browser Preview: Option to automatically open generated mind maps in the browser

Adding it to your client

The server ships on npm as @isdmx/markmap-mcp-server, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Configuration

1. Node.js (v25)

Caveats

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the markmap mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

This sits in the browser automation group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by isdmx; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
