  1. Managing personal notes through AI commands.
  2. Collaborating on team notes with AI assistance.
  3. Debugging and testing interactions with the HackMD API.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect HackMD in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hackmd-yuna0x0": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-hackmd-yuna0x0"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hackmd-yuna0x0": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-hackmd-yuna0x0"
      ]
    }
  }
}

      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hackmd-yuna0x0": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-hackmd-yuna0x0"
