Publish an HTML page

AI assistants are good at writing whole web pages: a dashboard, a slide deck, a one-page report with charts. Markdrop turns that HTML into a link that opens the page, running, in anyone's browser.

There are three ways to publish HTML you have as text. All of them need a Markdrop account.

This works for any page, from any source.

1. 1

   Save the HTML

   #Copy sectionAsk about this

   Paste it into a text editor and save it with an .html extension, for example q3-dashboard.html.

2. 2

   Upload it

   #Copy sectionAsk about this

   Go to markdrop.in/upload and drop the file in. The Preview shows the page running, in your browser, before anything uploads.

3. 3

   Publish

   #Copy sectionAsk about this

   Check the Title and Link (both come from the file name), then choose Publish.

The page can be up to 25 MB. A page with images or fonts inlined as data can get large; if it's over, move the big assets out and publish the page and its assets as a zipped website.

If your assistant is connected to Markdrop through MCP, ask it to publish the page. It uses the publish_page tool, which takes the page as text and returns the link. Pages can be up to 25 MB this way too.

Publish this page to Markdrop as q3-dashboard and give me the link.

publish_page also takes .txt, .csv, .json and .svg content. See Connect Claude to Markdrop and MCP tools.

Scripts can post the HTML directly, signed in with an API token. This route takes pages up to 10 MB:

curl -X POST https://api.markdrop.in/api/v1/artifacts/paste \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mdk_••••" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title": "Q3 dashboard", "custom_slug": "q3-dashboard", "content": "<!doctype html><h1>Q3</h1>"}'

The response includes the url and an edit_secret. You can also set read_password, expires_in and access_level (link or private).

A Markdrop document is Markdown, and Markdrop drops HTML tags from documents, so pasted HTML wouldn't run there. A page published as a file runs as a page.

The page runs with its scripts, styles and web fonts, and can load scripts and images from other sites, such as a charting library from a CDN. Forms, pop-ups and downloads work.

It runs inside a sandbox on a separate domain, never on markdrop.in. It can't read Markdrop's cookies or storage, or the reader's Markdrop session. See How files are served.

To change it, open the page and choose More artifact actions › Settings, choose the File tile, pick the new .html and choose Save changes. The link stays the same and readers with the page open get the new version. Your assistant can also update it in place through MCP. See Replace a file and restore versions.
