Summary
A Windows Markdown viewer built for AI-assisted editing. It renders your docs with Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math, and SVG support, then lets you click any element to copy a filepath:line reference straight to your clipboard. Paste that into Claude and ask it to fix, rewrite, or reorganize that exact spot. The MCP server exposes show_markdown for opening files at specific lines, slide_control for reveal.js presentations, and export_document for converting to PPTX or DOCX. It can also import PowerPoint files back to Markdown with extracted images. You'd reach for this when you want to review rendered Markdown in a live viewer while keeping Claude focused on precise line-level edits instead of describing locations in prose.

Vibe writing for Markdown. Point at anything, tell AI to fix it.
MarkdownPointer renders your Markdown and lets you click any element - headings, code blocks, table cells, Mermaid diagram nodes, KaTeX math - to copy a filepath:line reference. Paste it into your AI prompt, and the AI knows exactly where to look.
To change a node's color:
Click the node, paste the reference into your prompt, and ask the AI — done.
Color this node orange [c:\docs\architecture.md:6] mermaid node: mdp.exe

Install
In a PowerShell 7 console:
Install-Module MarkdownPointer
Quick Start
mdp .\README.md # Open a file
mdp .\docs\*.md # Open multiple files
mdp # Just launch the viewer
MCP Server Setup
Connect MarkdownPointer to Claude so your AI can open and navigate documents directly.
Run these in PowerShell 7:
Register-MdpToClaudeCode # Claude Code
Register-MdpToClaudeDesktop # Claude Desktop
Other MCP clients: Add the output of
Get-MarkdownPointerMCPPath -Escapeas the command in your MCP client's configuration file.
Troubleshooting: If the MCP client fails to connect to the server, .NET 10 Desktop Runtime may not be installed. .NET 10 is not included with Windows — install it and try again.
Then just ask Claude:
- "open README.md in mdp"
- "show the report in mdp and scroll to line 50"
- "export report.md to docx"
- "export slides.md to pptx"
- "import presentation.pptx to markdown"
- "show me slide 3 of slides.md"
