Mindmaply for Cursor

Text to beautiful mind maps. Ask Cursor for a mind map, get a Markdown outline, a polished SVG, and a live link on mindmaply.app where you can pan, zoom, edit, and share it.

Same renderer as the Mindmaply editor, driven by the mindmaply CLI from mindmaply-core. Everything renders on your machine; nothing is uploaded.

How it works in Cursor

After you install the plugin, Cursor loads its skill and slash command for your workspace.

• Skill mindmaply-cursor — When you ask for a mind map, concept map, org chart, or flowchart, the agent writes a structured Markdown outline, validates it, renders it with npx -y mindmaply-core@latest render, and returns a share link and editor link.
• Command /mindmaply — Same workflow from Chat or Agent, e.g. /mindmaply high-level architecture for this repo.

Default outputs are mindmaps/<topic-slug>.md and mindmaps/<topic-slug>.svg at the project root, plus the links. The SVG is a static image; the link is the live map.

Install in Cursor

1. Open Cursor Settings (Cmd+, on macOS, Ctrl+, on Windows/Linux).

2. Open the Plugins section (search settings for "Plugins" or "Skills" depending on your build).

3. Use Import plugin, Install from URL, or Add marketplace and paste:

   https://github.com/productscalexyz/mindmaply-cursor

4. Restart Cursor if prompted. If your build has per-skill toggles, enable mindmaply-cursor.

Requires Node.js 18+ so npx can run the CLI.
