mdshare

mdshare is a tool focused on local Markdown file sharing and collaboration, designed to let users collaborate on editing or viewing Markdown documents with others through a simple link. It emphasizes instant sharing, is free, and requires no login.

Main uses include: quickly sharing local Markdown files with others and controlling access permissions; real-time collaborative editing in teams or multi-person environments; document review and discussion through commenting; and integrating sharing capabilities into commonly used editors and AI tools.

Core capabilities:

• Sharing methods: Users can paste Markdown content at mdshare.live, start from a blank page, or upload files via the curl command. After uploading, they receive a management URL and can share that link or generate links with different permissions.
• Permission management: Provides four permission levels: Admin, Edit, Comment, and View, with each permission corresponding to a shareable link.
• Editor: A WYSIWYG editor that supports a formatting toolbar, tables, code blocks, and keyboard shortcuts.
• Commenting: Supports anchoring comments to specific text, replying, and resolving comment threads.
• Real-time collaboration: WebSocket-based real-time synchronization with online presence indicators.
• Link management: Links can be revoked instantly, optional expiration times are supported, and each document can have up to 50 links created.
• Editor plugins: Provides VS Code and Obsidian plugins to share Markdown files directly from the editor. The Obsidian plugin is listed in the community plugin directory and can be installed by browsing and searching community plugins in Settings; right-click any .md file to share it, and the management URL is copied to the clipboard.
• API and MCP: Provides a REST API and MCP server that can integrate with AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and Windsurf. Users can say "upload my-notes.md to mdshare" in any MCP-compatible AI tool to upload a file. The MCP server reads files directly from disk without echoing them through the conversation, so even large files are fast. There is also a Claude Code plugin that wraps the MCP server, and when users say phrases such as "share this markdown"it will be invoked. The tool is also listed in the Cursor directory; click "Add to Cursor" to add it.

How to use:

• Via the web: Visit mdshare.live, paste Markdown, create a blank page, or upload using curl.
• Via plugins: Install the plugin in VS Code or Obsidian and share directly from the editor.
• Via API: Use the REST API or MCP server to integrate with other tools.
• Via AI tools: Use natural language instructions in MCP-compatible AI tools.

• Teams collaboratively editing documents and controlling the permissions of different members.
• Document review, with feedback and discussion through inline comments.
• Sharing code documentation or notes directly in the development environment.
• Integrating with AI assistants to upload and share files through natural language.
