Mdshare
Free markdown sharing. Upload, get links, collaborate. No login needed.
Runs on your machine from its package; the steps are below.
What it does
- Reads
- Writes
- High impact
At most: creates or changes data: records, files, settings.
What it costs
FreeOdel charges nothing per call. The publisher may charge for its own service.
Runs locally over stdio
This server isn't hosted — your MCP client launches it from a package registry. Use one of the commands below, or drop the config into your client (e.g. Claude Desktop).
Run
npx -y mdshare-mcp
MCP client config
{
"mcpServers": {
"mdshare": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mdshare-mcp"
]
}
}
}Share markdown instantly. Free. No login required.

Quick Start
Paste markdown at mdshare.live, start from a blank page, or upload via curl:
curl -X POST https://mdshare.live/api/documents \
-H "Content-Type: text/markdown" \
--data-binary @your-file.md
You get back an admin URL. Share it, or generate links with different permissions.
Features
- Four permission levels -- Admin, Edit, Comment, View -- each with its own shareable link
- WYSIWYG editor -- formatting toolbar, tables, code blocks, keyboard shortcuts
- Inline comments -- anchor comments to specific text, reply, and resolve
- Real-time sync -- WebSocket collaboration, live presence indicators
- Link management -- revoke links instantly, optional expiry, 50-link cap per document
- VS Code & Obsidian plugins -- share markdown directly from your editor
- API & MCP -- REST API + MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and Windsurf
MCP Server
npx mdshare-mcp
Say "upload my-notes.md to mdshare" in any MCP-compatible AI tool. The MCP server reads files directly from disk (no echoing through the conversation), so it's fast even for large markdown files. Setup guide
Claude Code Plugin
/plugin marketplace add urbanmorph/mdshare
/plugin install mdshare@urbanmorph
Wraps the MCP server above with a single skill — Claude reaches for it on phrases like "share this markdown". Setup guide · source
Cursor Plugin
Listed on Cursor Directory — click "Add to Cursor" on the listing page. Same MCP server, same skill as the Claude Code plugin. Source
Obsidian Plugin
Listed in the Obsidian Community Plugins directory — install via Settings → Community Plugins → Browse → search "mdshare". Right-click any .md file in your vault to share it; admin URL is copied to your clipboard. Source
