• Link management -- revoke links instantly, optional expiry, 50-link cap per document
• VS Code & Obsidian plugins -- share markdown directly from your editor
• API & MCP -- REST API + MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and Windsurf

MCP Server

npx mdshare-mcp

Say "upload my-notes.md to mdshare" in any MCP-compatible AI tool. The MCP server reads files directly from disk (no echoing through the conversation), so it's fast even for large markdown files. Setup guide

Claude Code Plugin

/plugin marketplace add urbanmorph/mdshare
/plugin install mdshare@urbanmorph

Wraps the MCP server above with a single skill — Claude reaches for it on phrases like "share this markdown". Setup guide · source

Cursor Plugin

Listed on Cursor Directory — click "Add to Cursor" on the listing page. Same MCP server, same skill as the Claude Code plugin. Source

Obsidian Plugin

Listed in the Obsidian Community Plugins directory — install via Settings → Community Plugins → Browse → search "mdshare". Right-click any .md file in your vault to share it; admin URL is copied to your clipboard. Source
