Q&A

What do I need to configure in my MCP client?

Add a `mcpServers` entry in your client config pointing to the Markmap server: set `type` to `stdio`, `command` to `npx y @jinzcdev/markmap-mcp-server`, and optionally set `env` with `MARKMAP_DIR` for output location. The service also supports a command‑line `output` argument that overrides the environment variable.
