Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

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.

read_document

Read a markdown document from mdshare. Returns the content. If the document was uploaded via this MCP server, 'key' is optional — the admin key will be loaded from local storage. PREFER output_path over inline reading for large documents — writes directly to disk and returns a small summary, dramatically faster than echoing content through the conversation.

update_document

Update the content of an existing mdshare document (full replace). Requires edit or admin permission. If the document is in this MCP server's local store, 'key' is optional. PREFER file_path over content for files already on disk — reads directly from disk without transmitting content through this conversation. If both file_path and content are provided, file_path wins. For small edits to large documents, consider patch_document instead — keeps version history granular.
