Markmap MCP Server is based on the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) that allows one-click conversion of Markdown text to interactive mind maps, built on the open source project [markmap](https://github.com/markmap/markmap). The generated mind maps support rich interactive operations and can be exported in various image formats.
