What is the PasteMD MCP server?

Instant markdown sharing. Create, manage, and share documents with password protection. That is what the pastemd mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

Getting it running

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 7 tools. What each one is for:

  • get_document — Fetch a document by its slug (supports password-protected docs)
  • list_documents — List your documents with search and project filtering
  • create_document — Create a new markdown document with optional expiration
  • update_document — Update an existing document's content, title, or project
  • list_projects — List your projects with document counts
  • get_project — Get project details and its documents
  • create_project — Create a new project to organize documents

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. PasteMD's toolset — get_document, list_documents, create_document and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by jini-tw; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Frequently asked questions

It connects PasteMD to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 7 tools (get_document, list_documents, create_document, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with PasteMD directly.
