# Use these docs with your AI

Every page on docs.markdrop.in is also plain Markdown, so you can hand it to an AI assistant without copying text out of a web page. Use it to ask questions about a page, or to give a coding agent the exact steps it needs.

## Copy or open a page

Each page has a **Copy page** button next to its title. Its menu has:

| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Copy page as Markdown | Copies the page's Markdown to your clipboard. |
| Copy page with prerequisites | Copies the page together with the pages it lists as prerequisites, so an assistant has everything it needs in one paste. |
| View as Markdown | Opens the page's Markdown in the browser. |
| Open in Claude | Opens claude.ai with a prompt to read this page. |
| Open in ChatGPT | Opens ChatGPT with the same prompt. |
| Open in Perplexity | Opens Perplexity with the same prompt. |
| Add docs to Cursor | Installs the [docs MCP server](#connect-the-docs-to-your-ai-app) in Cursor. |
| Add docs to VS Code | Installs the docs MCP server in VS Code, for Copilot Chat. |

The prompt is "Read {page}.md and answer my questions about it." When you open an assistant, the page's Markdown is also copied to your clipboard, in case the assistant can't open the link: paste it into the chat.

To copy one section, hover over its heading and choose **Copy section**.

## Get any page as Markdown

Add `.md` to a page's address:

```text
https://docs.markdrop.in/cli/upload-and-replace.md
```

Tools that ask for Markdown get it at the normal address too. Send `Accept: text/markdown`:

```bash
curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://docs.markdrop.in/cli/upload-and-replace
```

## Give an agent all the docs

| File | What's in it |
|---|---|
| [`/llms.txt`](https://docs.markdrop.in/llms.txt) | An index of every page, with a one-line description and a link to its Markdown. Small enough to keep in an agent's context and follow links from. |
| [`/llms-full.txt`](https://docs.markdrop.in/llms-full.txt) | Every page in one Markdown file. Use it when the agent should have everything at once. |
| [`/changelog.md`](https://docs.markdrop.in/changelog.md) | The changelog as Markdown, newest first. |

For example, in Claude Code:

```text
Read https://docs.markdrop.in/llms.txt, then use the markdrop CLI to publish build/demo.mp4 into my Acme workspace's releases folder.
```

## Ask the docs

**Ask AI** answers questions from these docs, with a numbered link to the exact section each part of the answer came from. Choose **Ask AI** in the header, press ⌘I, use **Ask about this** next to any heading, or press ⌘K and then Tab. Selecting a source scrolls to that section and highlights it.

- It only answers from these docs. When they don't cover something, it says so instead of guessing.
- It can't change anything in your account; it explains how to do things.
- What you type is sent to Ask AI only when you ask. Searching with ⌘K never leaves your browser.
- There is a limit of 20 questions an hour per person. If Ask AI is busy or off, you get links to ask Claude or ChatGPT with the page attached instead.

## Connect the docs to your AI app

These docs have their own MCP server at `https://docs.markdrop.in/mcp`. Connect it, and your AI app can search and read the docs as tools whenever it needs them, without you pasting anything. It is public and read-only: no account and no sign-in.

**Cursor**

[Add to Cursor](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=markdrop-docs&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2RvY3MubWFya2Ryb3AuaW4vbWNwIn0=) opens Cursor and asks you to install it. Or add this to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, or to `.cursor/mcp.json` in one project:

```json title="mcp.json"
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "markdrop-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.markdrop.in/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**VS Code**

[Add to VS Code](https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=markdrop-docs&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.markdrop.in%2Fmcp%22%7D) opens VS Code and asks you to install it. Or, for Copilot Chat in agent mode, add this to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace:

```json title=".vscode/mcp.json"
{
  "servers": {
    "markdrop-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://docs.markdrop.in/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**Claude Code**

In your terminal:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http markdrop-docs https://docs.markdrop.in/mcp
```

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project.

**Claude**

On claude.ai and in Claude Desktop:

1. Open **Settings → Connectors**.
2. Choose **Add custom connector**, name it Markdrop docs and paste `https://docs.markdrop.in/mcp`.
3. Save it. There is nothing to sign in to.

**Other apps**

Any app that connects to remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP works. Add `https://docs.markdrop.in/mcp` with no authentication.

**Add docs to Cursor** and **Add docs to VS Code** are also in every page's **Copy page** menu.

### Tools

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `search_docs` | Takes `query` and an optional `limit` (1 to 20, 8 by default). Returns the best-matching sections and pages, each with its title, the page it is on, a link to the exact section and a short snippet. |
| `read_page` | Takes a page's `path`, like `/workspaces/custom-domain`, or its full address. Returns the page as Markdown. With `include_prerequisites`, the pages it builds on come first. |
| `whats_changed` | Takes `since_date` (`YYYY-MM-DD`) or `since_cli_version` (like `0.4.0`). Returns the changelog entries since then, newest first, with the pages each one changed. With neither, returns the latest 10. |
| `report_problem` | Takes a `page` and the `problem`. Tells the docs team a page is wrong, out of date or missing something. |

The [API reference](https://docs.markdrop.in/api/overview) is included: `read_page` on `/api/documents/publish-a-document` returns that endpoint's parameters, request body, responses and code samples.

For example, in Cursor:

```text
Using the markdrop-docs tools, find out how to replace a published PDF without changing its link, then do it for build/report.pdf.
```

This is separate from Markdrop's own MCP server, which works with your documents and files. To connect that, see [Connect an AI app](https://docs.markdrop.in/ai/hosted-mcp).
