install hackmd-mcp on Claude Desktop

Requires Node 18+ on your system so npx can fetch the package on first run. Claude Desktop only speaks stdio locally; HTTP servers are wrapped via npx mcp-remote automatically. Paste the config below, then follow the reload step to register hackmd-mcp.

paste into

macos: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hackmd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "hackmd-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HACKMD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

then: Quit Claude Desktop completely (Cmd/Ctrl+Q) and reopen it.
