About mdshare
mdshare is free markdown sharing — upload a document, get a link, share it with people or AI clients. No account, no login, no cost.
The design goal is a zero-friction path from "I have some markdown" to "here's a link to it." Every feature is judged against the minimal flow: paste and go. If a feature needs explanation, it didn't earn its place.
What mdshare does
Link-based sharing
Upload markdown, get shareable links with different permission tiers. No accounts needed on either side — the person you share with doesn't sign up for anything.
WYSIWYG markdown editor
Formatting toolbar, code blocks, tables, and keyboard shortcuts. Editors see a clean editing surface; viewers see rendered markdown. Both sides are mobile-friendly.
Inline comments and replies
Anchor a comment to specific text in the document, reply to threads, and mark them resolved. Clicking a comment jumps to the exact anchor point in the doc.
Four permission tiers
Admin, Edit, Comment, and View — each with its own link. You can generate any number of each, with optional expiry dates, and revoke any link instantly.
API and MCP for AI clients
A REST API for curl and scripts. An MCP server for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenAI Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI. Plus standalone VS Code and Obsidian plugins. See the AI integration page for setup.
Real-time sync
Changes broadcast via WebSocket to all open viewers. Presence indicators show who's currently reading. Falls back to polling when WebSocket isn't available.
Who mdshare is for
Developers and writers who think in markdown and want to share a document without setting up accounts or logging anyone in. Drafting an RFC, a README, a technical spec, or anything else you'd rather keep in markdown than translate to rich text — mdshare gives you a link in a paste.
For markdown workflows where a full Google Docs or Word setup is overkill, mdshare is the zero-login shortcut. It's not trying to replace full-featured document editors — it's for the times you just need a shareable link to some markdown, not an entire collaboration platform.
What mdshare is not
- Not a CMS or wiki
- Not a note-taking app
- Not a collaboration platform with user accounts
- Not permanent storage — documents expire after 90 days
- Not encrypted storage — anyone with a share link can access the document at that tier
Fine print
You own your content — we just host it. Don't upload anything illegal or sensitive. Links are keys — anyone with a link can access the document at that permission tier. Documents expire in 90 days. We store nothing personal — your display name, recent documents, and any local preferences live only in your browser. No guarantees on uptime, availability, or data recovery. Service is free, provided as-is.
