At a glance

Create interactive mind map visualizations from markdown - network inventory, OSPF areas, BGP topology, security audit results.

  • Visualizing network topology as a mind map
  • SKILL.md covers How to Call the Tools, When to Use, Example: OSPF Mind Map and Example: Security Audit Mind Map, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls python3
  • Creating audit result diagrams

What it does

Markmap Viz is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. Create interactive mind map visualizations from markdown - network inventory, OSPF areas, BGP topology, security audit results. Use when visualizing network topology as a mind map, creating audit result diagrams, or generating hierarchical views of OSPF areas, BGP peers, or VLAN structures

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Security, covering Security review and Diagrams. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that claws through your network. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Visualizing network topology as a mind map
  • Creating audit result diagrams
  • Generating hierarchical views of OSPF areas
  • VLAN structures

Example prompts

  • “/markmap-viz”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 95bb17e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Markmap Viz loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 293 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

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)
bash
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
bash
python3 $MCP_CALL "node $MARKMAP_MCP_SCRIPT" markmap_from_outline '{"outline_items":["Network","  Routers","    R1","    R2","  Switches","    SW1","    SW2"]}'
Extract Structure (no rendering)
bash
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
bash
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
bash
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

bash
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

bash
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.

Failure Behavior

  • If a tool call fails with an authentication or connection error, check that MARKMAP_MCP_SCRIPT is set and valid before assuming a data or device problem.
  • On a tool error (timeout, unreachable host, malformed response), report the failure and its error message directly to the user rather than fabricating or guessing at results.
  • For a confirmed read-only call, check connectivity and retry once if appropriate. For any call that changes state or sends a message, a timeout does not prove the action failed: inspect current state or delivery status before retrying, preserve the required approval/change gates, and do not repeat an action whose outcome is unknown.
