PasteMD

You can install and use the PasteMD MCP server to manage and share Markdown documents from an MCP client. This server exposes endpoints to create, fetch, update, and organize documents and projects, enabling rapid collaboration with secure access and simple sharing flows.

How to use

To use this MCP server, connect your MCP client to the PasteMD HTTP endpoint. You can fetch documents by slug, list documents with search and project filters, create or update documents, and organize them into projects. Authentication uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, so you will authorize via your PasteMD account the first time you connect.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have a CLAUDE/MCP-capable environment ready to install MCP endpoints. You will need access to the Claude client to add this server and to install the plugin that exposes the PasteMD MCP server.

Install via HTTP MCP endpoint

claude mcp add --transport http pastemd https://api.pastemd.io/mcp

Install PasteMD MCP plugin from Plugin Directory

/plugin install pastemd

Authentication

The server uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE for secure authentication. On first use, you will be prompted to authorize via your PasteMD account using Google Sign-In or email. Keep your credentials secure and follow the on-screen prompts to complete authorization.

Notes on usage patterns

• Create, update, and fetch Markdown documents quickly from your MCP client. - Organize documents into projects for easier sharing and collaboration. - Set expiration on documents when you need time-bounded access. - Share documents securely by using password protection where supported by the client and server.

Security and access

All interactions with the PasteMD MCP server are secured via the OAuth 2.1 PKCE flow. Your tokens are exchanged during the initial authorization step, after which subsequent requests are authenticated using the established session.

Examples

Share meeting notes instantly by creating a document and setting an expiration, or organize project documentation by creating a project and adding multiple documents. You can also enable password protection for confidential documents when supported by the client.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter authorization issues, re-run the OAuth flow from your MCP client to re-authenticate. Ensure the PasteMD endpoint URL is reachable from your environment and that the PasteMD MCP plugin is properly installed.

Notes

This MCP server focuses on managing PasteMD Markdown documents and organizing them into projects, with options for expiration and secure sharing where applicable. Ensure you have the necessary permissions in your PasteMD account to create and share documents.
