hackmd-mcp

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with the HackMD API. It allows AI assistants to perform operations such as:

• Get user information
• List user's notes
• Create, read, update, and delete notes
• View read history
• Work with team notes

• Node.js 18+

• HACKMD_API_TOKEN: [Required] Your HackMD API token
• HACKMD_API_URL: (Optional) HackMD API Endpoint URL. Default: https://api.hackmd.io/v1

You can get an API token from HackMD settings.

To install HackMD MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @yuna0x0/hackmd-mcp --client claude

# For other MCP clients, use the following command:
# List available clients
npx -y @smithery/cli list clients
# Install to other clients
npx -y @smithery/cli install @yuna0x0/hackmd-mcp --client <client_name>

npx @michaellatman/mcp-get@latest install hackmd-mcp

1. Add this server to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hackmd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "hackmd-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "HACKMD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Restart Claude Desktop
3. Use the tools to interact with your HackMD account

• get_user_info: Get information about the authenticated user

• list_user_notes: List all notes owned by the user
• get_note: Get a note by its ID
• create_note: Create a new note
• update_note: Update an existing note
• delete_note: Delete a note
• get_history: Get user's reading history

• list_teams: List all teams accessible to the user

• list_team_notes: List all notes in a team
• create_team_note: Create a new note in a team
• update_team_note: Update an existing note in a team
• delete_team_note: Delete a note in a team

Can you help me manage my HackMD notes?

Then use commands like:

Please list all my notes.

This project uses pnpm as its package manager.

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/yuna0x0/hackmd-mcp.git
cd hackmd-mcp
pnpm install

1. Create a .env file by copying the example:

cp .env.example .env

2. Edit the .env file and add your HackMD API token:

HACKMD_API_TOKEN=your_api_token

You can use the MCP Inspector to test and debug the HackMD MCP server:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector -e HACKMD_API_TOKEN=your_api_token npx hackmd-mcp

# Use this instead when Local Development
pnpm run inspector

Then open your browser to the provided URL (usually http://127.0.0.1:6274) to access the MCP Inspector interface. From there, you can:

1. Connect to your running HackMD MCP server
2. Browse available tools
3. Run tools with custom parameters
4. View the responses

This is particularly useful for testing your setup before connecting it to Claude or another AI assistant.
