Mindmanager should have an official CLI tools alike obsidian CLI, for AI/LLMs.
Voting Open
USER Robert has made a MCP (model context protocol) tool for mindmanager,
https://github.com/robertZaufall/mindm-mcp
however, MCP tools eat up LLM's context window, make them stupid, so MCP is going to be ditched.
the one that almost replace MCP is called "SKILL". and Robert made that too.
now, CLI is another method, for user/LLM -> CLI -> obsn/mindmanager.
mindmanager better grab this chance.
I like this idea

Update: Got mindm CLI working with MindManager 2020 today.
Robert's work is impressive — pip install mindm, 10 min setup, AI agent reading my mindmaps through a sandbox. Clean CLI surface.
The Mermaid roundtrip architecture makes sense for cross-platform, but if you're Windows-only like me, you're paying the macOS-compatibility tax on every operation. Interactive AI use needs sub-second responses, not 1–2 min whole-map serialization loops.
For Windows users, there's a faster path: skip the abstraction, talk COM directly via win32com. Targeted CRUD — read one node, add one subtopic — in milliseconds. That's what I'm building with mindm-20ultra: not a replacement, just a Windows-native supplement that trades portability for speed.
Robert opened the door. The community can now optimize for different use cases. An official CLI — even minimal — would signal MindManager is serious about the AI era.

hi, looks like some ppl interested in mm's CLI.
indeed robert's mindm could be ran as CLI.
but his version was for both win and mac, so in win it sacrificed some speed for compatibility in mac (LLM told me).
i myself simply used LLM to re-write the mindm using windows native COM API, openclaw-alike took just 1 nite to do so.
