### Description (declared)

# md-mcp 
 
**Transform from Prompt Engineering to Context Engineering.** 
 
A lightweight Python library that instantly exposes your local markdown documentation, notes, and knowledge bases to **any** AI tool that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) – including Claude Desktop. 
 
No embeddings, no preprocessing, and no uploading. Your files stay safely on your local machine, and any real-time updates are instantly reflected in your AI's context.

## 🚀 Quick Start 
 
### 1. Install 
 
#### Option A: Install from pypi 
 
```bash 
pip install md-mcp 
``` 
 
#### Option B: Install from source code 
 
```bash 
uv sync 
``` 
 
### 2. Launch the Web UI (Recommended) 
 
The easiest way to manage your markdown servers is through the visual dashboard: 
 
```bash 
md-mcp --web 
``` 
 
If the command is not recognized (e.g., if the Python scripts directory is not in your system PATH), you can run: 
 
```bash 
uv run python -m md_mcp --web 
``` 
 
*Just point at a folder and go!* 
 
### 3. Or use the CLI 
 
If you prefer the command line: 
 
```bash 
# Expose a folder of markdown files 
md-mcp --folder ~/Documents/notes --name "My Notes" 
 
# That's it! Restart Claude Desktop and it's available. 
```
