Local Installation (STDIO Transport)

1. Add this server to your mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json:

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

You may also optionally set the HACKMD_API_URL environment variable if you need to use a different HackMD API endpoint.

1. Restart your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop)
2. Use the tools to interact with HackMD

Server Deployment (HTTP Transport)

Self-Hosting

Follow the Local Development instructions to set up the project locally, then run:

pnpm run start:http

This will start the server on port 8081 by default. You can change the port by setting the PORT environment variable.

Cloud Deployment

You can deploy this MCP server to any cloud platform that supports Node.js server applications.

You can also deploy via MCP platforms like Smithery.

When using the STDIO transport or hosting the HTTP transport server, you can pass configuration via environment variables:

• HACKMD_API_TOKEN: HackMD API Token (Required for all operations)
