Getting started with Keydix

A step-by-step guide to designing AI prompts with mind maps.

1Quick start

01
Sign up / Log in
Create an account with Google or email. No credit card required.
02
Create a workspace
A workspace is a folder for your mind maps. You'll be guided on first login.
03
Create a mind map
Start a new mind map or choose a template (payment module, auth system, etc.).
04
AI node generation
Describe your requirements in plain language and Claude generates the mind map structure automatically.
05
Generate prompt
Compile your mind map into an XML prompt ready for Claude or Cursor in one click.

2Understanding node types

Mind map nodes come in 5 types. Each type maps to a different section of the generated prompt.

ROOT
Project goal, AI role definition
<Role>
ENTITY
DB schema, API structure, data models
<Data_Schema>
ACTION
Feature spec, implementation steps
<Instructions>
CONSTRAINT
Tech stack, constraints, rules
<Constraints>
NOTE
Memos, references (excluded from prompt)

4MCP integration (Claude Desktop / Cursor)

With MCP connected, Claude and Cursor automatically reference your mind map when generating code — no more copy-pasting prompts every time.

1. Get an API key

Dashboard → Workspace settings → Generate API key
The key is shown only once — copy it immediately.

2. Add to Claude Desktop config
// ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json
"keydix": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@keydix/mcp-server"],
  "env": { "KEYDIX_API_KEY": "your-key" }
}

Frequently asked questions

Is 10 AI generations per month enough?▾

Picking a template first auto-generates the base structure, saving your quota. For unlimited generations, upgrade to Pro.

Can the people I share with edit my mind map?▾

No, shared links are read-only. Recipients can view but cannot edit.

What is MCP integration?▾

Connect Keydix to Claude Desktop or Cursor so AI automatically references your mind map's data structure and rules when generating code.

My mind map doesn't seem to be saving▾

Check the save status indicator in the editor toolbar. Auto-save runs every 30 seconds. A manual save button is also available.

What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription?▾

Your data is kept. If you exceed the free plan limit (3 mind maps), excess maps become read-only.
