From the repository
Install the package globally via npm install @jinzcdev/markmap-mcp-server -g or run directly with npx -y @jinzcdev/markmap-mcp-server. Configure your MCP client with a stdio server entry using that command. The tool provides one command – markdown-to-mindmap – which requires a markdown string and accepts an optional open boolean to automatically preview the mind map in a browser. Output directory can be set with the --output argument or the MARKMAP_DIR environment variable.
