Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Docalyze Tools (4)

list_documents

List files under a directory, filtered by glob pattern

document_info

Get metadata (size, modified date, sheets) for a file

read_document

Extract text content from a document with pagination

visual_evaluate_document

Return page images inline so the AI can analyze charts, tables, and diagrams

Mdshare Tools (14)

upload_markdown

Upload markdown to mdshare and receive a shareable link. The response contains a read/comment/edit share link (default permission: comment) that the user can share with others. The admin credential (full control) is stored locally in ~/.mdshare-mcp/documents.json and is NOT returned in this response — if the user explicitly asks to see or save the admin URL, call get_admin_url. PREFER file_path over content for files already on disk — reads directly from disk without transmitting content through this conversation, which is dramatically faster for files larger than ~1KB.
