Markdown MCP server

This is a small helper that lets your AI read and search the Markdown files sitting on your computer. Markdown files are just plain text notes with simple formatting, the kind used for project docs, wikis, and guides. If your team keeps its notes in these files, this makes them easy to ask questions about.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about your notes, like where something is mentioned. The AI passes that request to this helper. The helper opens your Markdown files and searches through them. It understands headings, sections, and code blocks, not just raw text. Then it hands the answer back, and the AI shows it to you in the chat.
