FAQ from Xmind Generator MCP Server

What are the prerequisites for using this server?

You need Node.js version 18 or higher, the Xmind desktop application to open generated files, and Claude Desktop to use the server as an extension.

How do I set the output path for generated Xmind files?

Set the outputPath environment variable in the server configuration, or override it with the outputPath parameter in the generate-mind-map tool call.

Can I read and export existing Xmind files?

Yes, use the read-mind-map tool with a path to an .xmind file and an optional style parameter (currently only style A for outline) to get a Markdown representation.

Does the server automatically open generated mind map files?

By default, generated files are opened automatically. You can disable this by setting autoOpenFile to "false" in the server environment variables.

What parameters does the `generate-mind-map` tool accept?

It accepts a title (root topic), an array of topics (each with title, optional ref, note, labels, markers, and children), an optional array of relationships, and an optional outputPath.
