    Find all fenced code blocks in a markdown file. Optionally filter by language (e.g. typescript, python).

  • get_frontmatter

    Parse YAML frontmatter (between --- delimiters) at the start of a markdown file. Returns key-value metadata.

  • get_section

    Extract a section by heading from a markdown file. Returns content from that heading until the next heading of same or higher level.

  • list_headings

    List all headings (# through ######) in a markdown file as a table of contents.

Install Markdown in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y mcp-server-markdown on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

npx mcp-server-markdown

Why

Tools like Context7 are great for looking up library docs from npm, but they don't help with your own documentation. Project wikis, internal knowledge bases, architecture decision records, onboarding guides: they all live as markdown files in your repo or on disk. The filesystem MCP server can read those files, but it treats them as raw text. It doesn't understand headings, sections, or code blocks. This server does. Point it at a directory and your assistant can search across all your docs, pull out a specific section by heading, list the table of contents, or find every TypeScript code example in your knowledge base.
