Coret Mind Map

Use the Coret MCP tools as the execution surface. Do not reimplement the REST API.

Before You Start

1. Confirm the Coret MCP server is connected and has a CORET_API_KEY.
2. Prefer a crt_test_ key while testing a new workflow. Use crt_live_ only when the user intends to change production workspace data.
3. Before a live write, confirm the connected workspace is the intended target when the workspace is not already clear from context.
4. Use get_skill_doc when you need request schemas, limits, image metadata, sharing rules, or response examples. Do not guess undocumented fields.
5. Never print, store, commit, or place the API key in a URL, prompt, map, log, or share link.

Workflow

Read or Inspect

• Use list_maps to find the target instead of guessing an ID.
• Use get_map or list_nodes before changing an existing map.
• Preserve node IDs, notes, ordering, styles, and unrelated branches unless the user asks to change them.

Create

1. Turn the source into a short hierarchy: one clear root, distinct branches, concise node text, and notes only where detail helps.
2. If the user's structure is ambiguous or the write is large, show the proposed hierarchy before writing.
3. Call create_map, read the created map to obtain its root node, then add nodes. Prefer batch_nodes for a coherent multi-node write; keep each batch at or below the documented limit.
4. Read the final map and report its title, ID, and a compact summary of what changed.

Update

1. Read the current map and identify the smallest set of nodes that must change.
2. Use update_map, add_node, update_node, or batch_nodes without rebuilding unaffected branches.
3. Read the changed map again and verify the requested state.

Images, Drawings, Sketches, Exports, and Sharing

• For map images, call upload_image, then use the returned URL in the node image metadata described by get_skill_doc.
• Use get_drawings and put_drawings for freehand Spidol marks directly over the mind-map canvas, such as circling or underlining existing ideas. Read first and preserve unrelated strokes; an empty array clears every stroke.
• Use put_sketch only for a separate free-form whiteboard with boxes, sticky notes, text, arrows, or strokes. Do not use sketch when the user asks to mark the mind map itself.
• Use export_map for JSON, Markdown, or text output.
• Create a public share link only when the user asks to share or needs a browser link. State the permission and expiry.

Safety

• Get explicit confirmation immediately before delete_map or delete_node, unless the user already explicitly requested that exact deletion. Explain that deleting a node also deletes its descendants.
• Treat batch_nodes as destructive when it contains update or delete operations; summarize the affected branches before calling it.
• Do not broaden scopes, switch from test to live, or create a public share link silently.
• If a tool returns an auth, scope, validation, rate-limit, or quota error, report it plainly and stop retrying unchanged input.
• If a multi-step write fails partway, read the current map before retrying so completed operations are not duplicated.

Completion

Finish with the observable result: map title and ID, changes made, verification performed, and share URL only when one was requested or created.
