What the publisher says

From the Tablestakes repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

tablestakes

An MCP server that gives LLMs clean, surgical access to tables trapped in messy HTML.

The Problem

Tools like GitBook, Notion exports, and CMS platforms collapse tables into single-line HTML when syncing to Markdown files. The result looks like this in your editor:

<table><thead><tr><th width="520.11">Requirement</th><th width="122.07">Priority</th><th>Priority 1-2-3</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>1.1</strong> Agent sees only their Salesforce-assigned cases <strong>in the currently selected organization</strong> (case is "assigned" when SF <code>Case.OwnerId</code> matches the agent's linked SF user ID)...</td><td>Must</td><td>1</td></tr></tbody></table>

This is unreadable for humans and unreliable for LLMs. Models struggle to parse collapsed HTML tables, frequently hallucinate cell boundaries, and cannot edit them without corrupting the structure.

tablestakes fixes this. It sits between the LLM and the file, converting tables to clean pipe format on read and writing back in the original format on save — preserving GitBook compatibility, HTML attributes, and inline formatting.

What the LLM Sees

Discovery — scan a 26-table document in one call:

26 tables

T0 pipe 5r 3c v:485f65f7b470 [Cross-Domain Dependencies]
  A:Integration | B:Source | C:Requirements

T7 gitbook 3r 4c v:d9a9a45a370f [Attachments]
  A:Requirement | B:Priority | C:Dependency | D:Priority 1-2-3

Read — collapsed HTML becomes a clean pipe table:

v:d9a9a45a370f gitbook 3r 4c [Attachments]
A:Requirement | B:Priority | C:Dependency | D:Priority 1-2-3
| Requirement | Priority | Dependency | Priority 1-2-3 |

| **5.3** Attachment file size limits... | Should | — |  |

Write — surgical cell edit, version-checked:

14 characters. The file is updated, GitBook HTML format preserved, width attributes intact.

Token Efficiency

Baseline: Claude Code's built-in Read + Edit tools operating on the same file. Measured on a synthetic 18-row, 4-column table with realistic requirement-style content (bold IDs, inline emphasis, mixed-length cells).

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
