⌁ labsco summary — our analysis, not the vendor's
What it is — a free markdown-sharing service with an MCP server, letting you upload markdown and get a shareable link with no login.
What you get —
- MCP upload — say "upload my-notes.md to mdshare" in any MCP client; the server reads files directly from disk (no echoing through the conversation)
- Four permission levels (Admin/Edit/Comment/View), each with its own link; inline comments; real-time WebSocket collaboration
- REST API (curl upload), plus VS Code, Obsidian, Cursor and Claude Code plugins
Requirements — nothing — no login, no keys; just npx mdshare-mcp and an MCP client.
Cost snapshot — free and open source (MIT), running on Cloudflare Workers at mdshare.live. No paid tier shown.
Setup effort — one-liner: npx mdshare-mcp, or install the Claude Code plugin via the marketplace.
Our take — A genuinely frictionless way to share markdown from an editor or agent; the trade-off of "no login" is that documents are link-secured only (with a 50-link cap and optional expiry), so treat shared content as semi-public.
