- Category: [Productivity & Projects](https://mcp.tc/c/productivity)
- Vendor: MeisterLabs
- Homepage: <https://www.mindmeister.com/>

## About

Connects an AI assistant to MindMeister, the online mind mapping software. The assistant can create, edit and organize mind maps in your MindMeister account.

The server is hosted by MindMeister at a streamable HTTP endpoint. Users sign in with OAuth, and no local install or API key is needed. The requested scopes are mindmeister, openid and userinfo.profile.

## What it can do

- Create new mind maps from your assistant
- Edit existing mind maps
- Organize and restructure map content

## Example prompts

- "Create a mind map for planning our Q4 product launch"
- "Add a branch for risks to my project kickoff map"
- "Reorganize my study notes map by topic"
- "Make a mind map outlining the main ideas of a book on habits"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http mindmeister https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **mindmeister** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the MeisterLabs sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **MindMeister** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when MeisterLabs asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=MindMeister&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.mindmeister.com%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when MeisterLabs asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to MeisterLabs to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=mindmeister&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5taW5kbWVpc3Rlci5jb20vbWNwIn0%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mindmeister": {
      "url": "https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=mindmeister&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.mindmeister.com%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"mindmeister","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "mindmeister": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mindmeister": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add mindmeister --url https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp
codex mcp login mindmeister
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.mindmeister]
url = "https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http mindmeister https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth mindmeister` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mindmeister": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.mindmeister.com/mcp`.
