MCP

markdown.page exposes a public MCP endpoint for agents that want to publish markdown and manage paid featured-promotion discovery/status.

No account, API key, or auth header is required.

Endpoint

POST https://markdown.page/mcp

Transport: HTTP JSON-RPC.

Streaming: not supported. This MCP server is request/response only; it does not open server-sent event streams. A GET /mcp request with Accept: text/event-stream returns 405 Method Not Allowed and supports_sse: false. Send JSON-RPC requests with POST /mcp.

Tools:

publish_markdown({ markdown: string })
get_featured_pricing({})
validate_featured_purchase({ plan?, articleUrl? or pageId?, featuredSlug })
get_featured_purchase_status({ id: string })

Payment settlement itself happens over the raw HTTP 402 Payment Required purchase endpoints documented in /api.md; MCP keeps pricing, validation, and status discovery inside the agent loop.

Tool contracts

Agents should prefer tools/list for the live schemas. The documented contracts are:

publish_markdown

Input schema:

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "markdown": { "type": "string" }
  },
  "required": ["markdown"]
}

Output structured content:

{
  "slug": "a3x9k2b7",
  "url": "https://markdown.page/a3x9k2b7",
  "raw_url": "https://markdown.page/a3x9k2b7.md"
}

get_featured_pricing

Input schema:

{ "type": "object", "properties": {} }

Output structured content includes:

{
  "paid_placement": true,
  "disclosure": "Featured placements are paid promotions reviewed before publication.",
  "review_sla": "typically within 48 hours",
  "refund_policy": "...",
  "review_criteria": ["..."],
  "plans": [
    {
      "plan": "week",
      "label": "Featured week",
      "price_usd": 9,
      "duration_days": 7,
      "required_body_fields": ["articleUrl or pageId", "featuredSlug", "requestId recommended"],
      "x402": { "endpoint": "/api/featured/purchase/week", "method": "POST" },
      "mpp": { "endpoint": "/api/featured/mpp/purchase/week", "method": "POST" }
    }
  ]
}

The same pricing is available to HTTP-only agents at GET /pricing.json (alias GET /featured/pricing.json) and GET /pricing.md.

validate_featured_purchase

Input schema:

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "plan": { "type": "string", "enum": ["week", "month", "quarter"] },
    "articleUrl": { "type": "string" },
    "pageId": { "type": "string" },
    "featuredSlug": { "type": "string" }
  },
  "required": ["featuredSlug"]
}

Output structured content includes ok, issues, articleExists, slugAvailable, offer, and reviewCriteria. Use this before paying to catch invalid page URLs, unavailable slugs, or invalid plans.

get_featured_purchase_status

Input schema:

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "id": { "type": "string" }
  },
  "required": ["id"]
}

Output structured content includes the purchase lifecycle fields: id, provider, status, pageId, featuredSlug, plan, durationDays, paidAt, launchedAt, expiresAt, rejectedAt, and rejectionReason when present. The same status is available to HTTP-only agents at GET /api/featured/purchases/{id}.

Example

curl https://markdown.page/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"publish_markdown","arguments":{"markdown":"# Hello from MCP"}}}'

A successful publish call returns MCP text content plus structured URL metadata.

Limits and safety

The MCP publishing tool uses the same path as POST /api/publish:

• 1 MB markdown per page
• 2 MB request envelope
• fair-use rate limiting per IP
• markdown validation and sanitization

Published pages are public and cannot be edited after publishing. Do not publish secrets, private data, credentials, or content you may need to change later.

Discovery

Agent discovery guide:

GET https://markdown.page/llms.txt

MCP documentation:

GET https://markdown.page/mcp

SSE support signal:

GET https://markdown.page/mcp
Accept: text/event-stream

returns 405 with supports_sse: false.
