Install ai-mind-map in your MCP client

ai-mind-map is a Model Context Protocol server. Add it to your MCP client config once, restart, and the server's tools become available to your AI assistant. The same JSON snippet below works across all four major clients — only the config file path differs.

  1. Locate your client's MCP config file.
    • Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
    • Claude Desktop (macOS): ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Claude Desktop (Windows): %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
    • VS Code: Settings → Extensions → MCP
    • Windsurf: Settings → MCP Servers
  2. Add ai-mind-map to the mcpServers map — paste the snippet below into your config file. If you already have other MCP servers, merge the entry into the existing mcpServers object.
  3. Restart your client so it picks up the new server.
  4. Verify — ask the assistant to list available tools; ai-mind-map's tools should appear.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-mind-map": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ai-mind-map"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Install ai-mind-map in Cursor

Install ai-mind-map in Claude Desktop (Windows)

Open %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Claude Desktop (Windows). ai-mind-map will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install ai-mind-map in VS Code
