Mdgen

MCP server for mdgen — read and write your mdgen documents from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and other MCP clients, using your own account. The AI runs on your subscription; mdgen never pays for generation.

What it does

Exposes your saved mdgen documents (available to logged-in users) as MCP tools:

Tool	Description
list_documents	List your documents (id, title, mode, updatedAt)
read_document	Get a document's full Markdown by id
create_document	Create a new document (markdown, title?, mode?)
update_document	Update a document (only provided fields change)
delete_document	Delete a document by id

Prerequisites

1. A mdgen account (sign in at https://mdgen.app).
2. A personal access token (PAT): issue one from mdgen while logged in (Menu → API tokens). Copy it — it is shown only once.

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
MDGEN_TOKEN	✅	—	Your mdgen personal access token
MDGEN_API_URL		https://api.mdgen.app/v1	mdgen API base URL (must include the version prefix)

Client setup

Claude Desktop

claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mdgen": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mdgen-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MDGEN_TOKEN": "<your token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add mdgen --env MDGEN_TOKEN=<your token> -- npx -y mdgen-mcp

Codex CLI

~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.mdgen]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mdgen-mcp"]
env = { MDGEN_TOKEN = "<your token>" }

Security

• Your PAT is passed via your client's env and never leaves your machine except as a Authorization: Bearer header to the mdgen API. It is not stored in this package.
• The PAT grants access only to your documents. Revoke it anytime from mdgen.
• Treat the token like a password. Do not commit it.

Development

npm install
npm run dev     # run from source (tsx)
npm run build   # emit dist/
npm test        # unit tests

Publishing

Releases publish to npm via GitHub Actions on v* tags, using npm Trusted Publishing (OIDC, no token) with build provenance.

npm version patch      # bump version + create commit/tag
git push && git push --tags
