MDX MCP Server is a powerful Model Context Protocol server that enables LLMs to seamlessly interact with, search, and process MDX files. It provides robust tools for reading MDX content as clean Markdown, performing contextual searches, converting files, and extracting metadata, all with built-in cross-platform compatibility and security.

The server exposes the following tools through the Model Context Protocol interface.
