LABSCO SUMMARY

Structure editing, not file rewriting.

The tier layout is the useful part: search or find returns a topic ID with its ancestry, and every mutation takes that ID, so an agent edits one branch instead of regenerating the document. The outline import and export make the round trip to Markdown cheap, which is how most people will actually get a large map in.

What it is

A Go MCP server that opens .xmind mind map files directly on disk and edits their structure. Every tool is prefixed xmind_ so it will not collide with other servers, and the surface is arranged in tiers: find your way around a file, locate a topic, then change it.

What you get

  • Files and sheets — xmind_open_map returns a structural summary, xmind_list_sheets, xmind_create_map, xmind_add_sheet, xmind_delete_sheet, xmind_list_relationships
  • Locating a topic before you edit it — xmind_get_subtree, xmind_get_topic_properties, xmind_search_topics by keyword, xmind_find_topic by exact title, each returning IDs plus ancestry and sibling context
  • Building the tree — xmind_add_topic, xmind_add_topics_bulk for flat or nested batches, xmind_duplicate_topic to deep-clone a subtree, xmind_move_topic, xmind_reorder_children, xmind_rename_topic, xmind_delete_topic
  • Metadata and decoration — xmind_set_topic_properties and xmind_set_topic_properties_bulk for notes, labels, markers and links; xmind_add_floating_topic, xmind_add_relationship, xmind_delete_relationship, xmind_add_summary, xmind_add_boundary
  • Round-tripping through text — xmind_flatten_to_outline exports a sheet as indented text or Markdown, xmind_import_from_outline builds one back from the same shape, xmind_find_and_replace renames by pattern across a sheet
  • 27 tools in total

Requirements

No account and no key — it works on files you already have. go install github.com/mab-go/xmind-mcp/cmd/xmind-mcp@latest fetches and builds it in one step (Go 1.26.1 or later), and the client config is a single "command": "xmind-mcp" line. Pre-built Linux and Windows binaries are attached to each tagged release, and ghcr.io/mab-go/xmind-mcp runs the same stdio server — mount your maps directory and pass container paths to the tools. Log level is set with --log-level or XMIND_MCP_LOG_LEVEL. MIT.

Setup effort

One command — go install github.com/mab-go/xmind-mcp/cmd/xmind-mcp@latest
