The Problem
You wrote a README, a PRD, meeting notes, or an API doc in markdown. Now you need to share it with someone who doesn't have a markdown renderer, doesn't use GitHub, or just needs a clean link they can open in a browser.
plsreadme turns any markdown into a permanent, beautifully rendered web page in one step. No accounts. No sign-ups. No friction.
✨ Features
- Instant sharing — Paste markdown or upload a file, get a
plsrd.melink - Beautiful rendering — Clean typography, dark mode, mobile-responsive
- Inline comments — Readers can click any paragraph and leave feedback
- AI auto-formatting — Throw raw text at it; it comes out as clean markdown
- MCP server — Share docs directly from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP client
- OpenClaw skill — Available on ClawHub for AI agent workflows
- Short links — Every doc gets a compact
plsrd.me/v/xxxURL - Raw access — Download the original
.mdfile from any shared link - Zero config — No API keys needed for basic usage
🚀 Quick Start
Web
Go to plsreadme.com, paste your markdown, click share.
API
curl -X POST https://plsreadme.com/api/render \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"markdown": "# Hello World\n\nThis is my doc."}'
{
"id": "abc123def456",
"url": "https://plsreadme.com/v/abc123def456",
"raw_url": "https://plsreadme.com/v/abc123def456/raw",
"admin_token": "sk_..."
}
Save the admin_token — you'll need it to edit or delete:
# Update
curl -X PUT https://plsreadme.com/v/abc123def456 \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"markdown": "# Updated content"}'
# Delete
curl -X DELETE https://plsreadme.com/v/abc123def456 \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_..."
MCP (AI Editors)
Connect your editor to plsreadme and share docs with natural language:
"Share this README as a plsreadme link" "Turn my PRD into a shareable page" "Make these meeting notes into a readable link"
🔌 MCP Setup
Claude Code
claude mcp add plsreadme -- npx -y plsreadme-mcp
Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"plsreadme": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "plsreadme-mcp"]
}
}
}
VS Code
Add to your settings.json:
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"plsreadme": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "plsreadme-mcp"]
}
}
}
}
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"plsreadme": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "plsreadme-mcp"]
}
}
}
Windsurf
{
"mcpServers": {
"plsreadme": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "plsreadme-mcp"]
}
}
}
Remote MCP (zero install)
Some clients support remote MCP endpoints directly:
https://plsreadme.com/mcp
add-mcp
npx add-mcp plsreadme-mcp
OpenClaw
clawhub install plsreadme
Docker (for MCP registries / listing checks)
Build and run the stdio MCP server in a clean container:
docker build -t plsreadme-mcp:local .
docker run --rm -i plsreadme-mcp:local
The containerized server uses stdio (no ports, no env vars required).
🛠 MCP Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
plsreadme_share_file | Share a local file by path → returns shareable link. Re-sharing updates the same link. |
plsreadme_share_text | Share markdown or plain text directly → returns shareable link |
plsreadme_update | Update an existing doc with new content (by ID or file path) |
plsreadme_delete | Delete a shared doc permanently (by ID or file path) |
plsreadme_list | List all documents you've shared from this project |
Prompts:
share-document— Guided flow to share content as a readable linkrefactor-and-share— Uses your AI model to refactor raw text into polished markdown, then shares it
Plain text input? No problem — the MCP auto-structures it into markdown, or you can use the refactor-and-share prompt to leverage your AI's reasoning for a polished result.
.plsreadme Record File
The MCP server tracks your shared documents in a .plsreadme JSON file in your project root. This stores document IDs, URLs, and admin tokens needed for editing and deleting.
⚠️ Add .plsreadme to your .gitignore — it contains admin tokens. The tool will warn you if it's missing.
