# How to Generate Mind Maps with Copilot

Copilot generates mind maps from within your IDE for project planning and architecture brainstorming. Map out refactoring strategies, visualize feature dependency trees, and create planning documents that live alongside your code. Useful for sprint planning and technical design sessions.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Add ToolRouter to Copilot MCP config
2. In Copilot Chat: "Create a mind map for this project" and describe the topic
3. Copilot generates the mind map diagram
4. Ask: "Save this to the planning docs in my project"

## Example Prompt

```
Generate a mind map for the API redesign project covering endpoints, authentication changes, rate limiting, versioning strategy, and migration plan.
```

## Tips

- Copilot can read your project structure and suggest a mind map of the codebase organization
- Use mind maps to plan refactoring efforts and visualize dependency trees
