MCP Server for Local XMind Mind Map Files Released
A developer has published an MCP server for interacting with local XMind mind map files. The server exposes 22 tools that allow MCP-compatible AI clients to create, navigate, and edit .xmind files directly on disk.
Key Details
The developer built this MCP server primarily for use via Claude Desktop and has tested it with both Claude Desktop and Cursor with "pretty solid results." The development relied heavily on Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Claude Opus 4.6, accessed through both Claude Desktop and Cursor.
The server provides tools for reading and writing XMind files, enabling AI assistants to work with mind map data stored locally. This allows developers to use AI coding agents to manipulate mind map files programmatically through their preferred AI client interface.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers extend the capabilities of AI assistants by providing them with access to external tools and data sources. This particular implementation focuses specifically on the XMind file format, which is commonly used for mind mapping and brainstorming.
