What it does
Markmap MCP Server turns Markdown text into an interactive Markmap mind map and exports it. Launch: `npx -y @jinzcdev/markmap-mcp-server`, global installation `npm install @jinzcdev/markmap-mcp-server -g`. The `--output` flag sets the export folder and `--open always` opens the result. Rendering needs Playwright Chromium: `npx playwright install chromium`. Version 0.2.0 from 04.08.2026, MIT license.
Who it is for. For those who turn notes, plans and documentation into mind maps through an agent.
Good fit when
- You need a mind map from Markdown
- You need to export a map to a file
- You need to structure a long document visually
Not a fit when
- You cannot install Chromium for Playwright
- You need manual map editing in an editor
Example request
Turn these lecture notes into a Markmap mind map and save the HTML into the exports folderMCP
- Transport
- stdio
- Authentication
- not required
Limitations
Rendering needs Playwright Chromium, a separate download. The server writes export files to disk, so access is extended: set a folder through --output.
How to disable. Remove the skill from the agent's folder or the plugin through the plugin manager.
