MarkdownPointer

Vibe editing for Markdown. Point at anything, tell AI to fix it.

MarkdownPointer renders your Markdown and lets you click any element - headings, code blocks, table cells, Mermaid diagram nodes, KaTeX math - to copy a filepath:line reference. Paste it into your AI prompt, and the AI knows exactly where to look.

In a PowerShell 7 console:

mdp .\README.md    # Open a file
mdp .\docs\*.md    # Open multiple files
mdp                # Just launch the viewer

MCP Server Setup

Connect MarkdownPointer to Claude Code so your AI can open and navigate documents directly.

Claude Code

claude mcp add mdp -s user -- "$(Get-MarkdownPointerMCPPath)"

Then just ask Claude:

• "open README.md in mdp"
• "show the report in mdp and scroll to line 50"
• "export report.md to docx"

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mdp": {
      "command": "C:\\Program Files\\PowerShell\\7\\Modules\\MarkdownPointer\\0.2.0\\bin\\mdp-mcp.exe"
    }
