Markmap Mind Map Visualization

How to Call the Tools

The Markmap MCP server provides 5 tools. Call them via mcp-call:

Generate from Markdown (primary tool)

python3 $MCP_CALL "node $MARKMAP_MCP_SCRIPT" markmap_generate '{"markdown_content":"# Network Topology\n## Routers\n### R1 - 10.255.255.1\n### R2 - 10.255.255.2\n## Switches\n### SW1\n### SW2"}'

Generate from Outline Structure

python3 $MCP_CALL "node $MARKMAP_MCP_SCRIPT" markmap_from_outline '{"outline_items":["Network","  Routers","    R1","    R2","  Switches","    SW1","    SW2"]}'

Extract Structure (no rendering)

python3 $MCP_CALL "node $MARKMAP_MCP_SCRIPT" markmap_get_structure '{"markdown_content":"# Root\n## Branch 1\n## Branch 2","include_content":true}'

Render from File

python3 $MCP_CALL "node $MARKMAP_MCP_SCRIPT" markmap_render_file '{"file_path":"/tmp/network-map.md","save_output":true,"output_path":"/tmp/network-map.svg"}'

Custom Themed Mindmap

python3 $MCP_CALL "node $MARKMAP_MCP_SCRIPT" markmap_customize '{"markdown_content":"# Audit Results\n## Critical\n### Missing AAA\n## High\n### Weak SNMP\n## Medium\n### No NTP auth","theme":"dark","color_scheme":"rainbow"}'

When to Use

• Network inventory — Devices organized by site, role, platform
• OSPF topology — Areas → routers → interfaces → neighbors
• BGP topology — AS numbers → peers → prefixes → communities
• Security audit results — Findings by severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
• VLAN structure — VLANs → ports → trunk/access → STP role
• Troubleshooting trees — Symptom → possible causes → verification steps
• Config comparison — Before/after with highlighted diffs
• ACI fabric — Tenant → VRF → BD → EPG → contract hierarchy
• ISE policy — Policy sets → authorization rules → conditions → results

Example: OSPF Mind Map

python3 $MCP_CALL "node $MARKMAP_MCP_SCRIPT" markmap_generate '{"markdown_content":"# OSPF Domain\n## Area 0 - Backbone\n### R1 (ABR)\n- RID: 10.255.255.1\n- Neighbors: R2, R3\n### R2 (ABR)\n- RID: 10.255.255.2\n## Area 1 - Campus\n### R3\n- RID: 10.255.255.3\n- Type: Stub\n## Area 2 - WAN\n### R4\n- RID: 10.255.255.4\n- Type: NSSA"}'

Example: Security Audit Mind Map

python3 $MCP_CALL "node $MARKMAP_MCP_SCRIPT" markmap_customize '{"markdown_content":"# Security Audit - R1\n## CRITICAL\n### No AAA configured\n### SNMP community: public\n## HIGH\n### No CoPP policy\n### HTTP server enabled\n## MEDIUM\n### NTP without authentication\n### No login banner\n## LOW\n### CDP enabled globally","theme":"dark"}'

Integration with Other Skills

• Use pyats-health-check data to generate health overview mind maps
• Use pyats-security audit results to create severity-ranked visualizations
• Use pyats-topology discovery data to map the network hierarchy
• Use netbox-reconcile drift data to visualize discrepancies
• Use alongside drawio-diagram — markmap for hierarchical views, Draw.io for topology views

Output

Returns interactive SVG content that can be saved to a file and opened in a browser with zoom, collapse/expand, and pan controls.
