## What mcp-server-markdown does, in the publisher's words

Search, navigate, and extract content from local markdown files. Full-text search, section extraction, heading navigation, code block discovery, and frontmatter parsing.

> Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and any MCP client. Reads local.md files, no auth needed.

## Skills

- markdown-search: Search and navigate local markdown via MCP. Use when the user asks to search docs, find a README section, list headings/TOC, extract code examples by language, read frontmatter, or grep internal wikis and ADRs on disk.

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.

## MCP servers

- markdown: transport: stdio; command: npx -y mcp-server-markdown

Read from the plugin's own mcp.json. Environment variable names only, never values.
