Mm Outline To Map

Outline to mind map

Use the MindMeister MCP to turn a structured outline into a MindMeister mind map.

Workflow

1. Receive the outline:
   • Accept a plain-text or Markdown-formatted outline (bullet list, numbered list, or indented text).
   • Treat the top-level heading or first item as the central map topic.
2. Parse the hierarchy:
   • Map top-level items to first-level branches.
   • Map nested items to sub-nodes, preserving indentation depth.
   • Flag any items that are too long to work as node labels and suggest shorter versions.
3. Confirm structure with the user:
   • Show the proposed map structure before creating.
   • For outlines under 20 nodes, proceed without confirmation if the structure is unambiguous.
4. Create the map using mm_maps_create.
5. Apply the full node tree using mm_changes_apply.
6. Optionally apply a theme: use mm_themes_list to find options.
7. Return the map URL.

Important

Node labels should be concise — ideally under 10 words. If an outline item is a full sentence, trim it to a keyword phrase before converting.
