Yes, mkdn is completely free. No account required, no hidden fees.

Documents are encrypted with AES-256-GCM in your browser. The key stays in the URL and never reaches our servers.

What expiration options are available?

Documents can expire in 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. After expiration, they are permanently deleted.

MCP Server Integration

mkdn.pro includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants share documents directly.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI assistants interact with external tools and services. With mkdn's MCP server, AI assistants like Claude can:

Share markdown documents you're working on
Create beautiful formatted versions of their responses
Generate shareable links for code, documentation, and more

Setup

1. Install the CLI

The MCP server is included in the mkdn CLI:

bash

npm install -g mkdn.pro

2. Configure Your AI Assistant

Add mkdn to your MCP configuration. For Claude Desktop, edit your config file:

macOS:

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows:

%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add this configuration:

JSON Data4 keys, 4 values

{

mcpServers:{

mkdn:{}

}

3. Restart Your AI Assistant

After saving the configuration, restart Claude Desktop to load the MCP server.

Using with AI Assistants

Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant to share documents:

"Share this as a mkdn document"
"Create a shareable link for this code"
"Format this as a beautiful document and share it"

The AI will use the MCP server to create and share documents automatically.

Available Tools

The MCP server exposes these tools to AI assistants:

Interactive

Tool	Description
`share_markdown`	Share a markdown document
`share_code`	Share a code snippet with syntax highlighting
`get_document`	Retrieve an existing document

Example Workflow

You're working with Claude on a technical document
You ask: "Share this documentation as a mkdn link"
Claude uses the MCP server to create the document
You receive a shareable link instantly

Troubleshooting
