Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command src/cli.ts:373
    const child = spawn(command, [path], {

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: MINDMAP_OUTPUT_DIR (Directory for exported HTML mind maps. Defaults to ./mindmaps), ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Optional. Set it to let the server write outlines with a model itself instead of handing a draft back to the client), OPENAI_API_KEY (Optional. Same as ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, for any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), OPENAI_BASE_URL (Optional. OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Defaults to https://api.openai.com/v1), MINDMAP_LLM_MODEL (Optional. Model name. Required when using an OpenAI-compatible endpoint), MINDMAP_ALLOW_PRIVATE_HOSTS (Optional. Set to true to let url_to_mindmap reach loopback and private addresses. Off by default).

Mindlm MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Mindlm MCP?
Mindlm MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package mindlm-mcp was installed 48 times last week.
How do I connect Mindlm MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mindlm-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Mindlm MCP?
The npm package mindlm-mcp was installed 48 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Mindlm MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
