Magzdown agent tools

Your agent writes a report. Instead of dumping markdown in the chat, it hands you a link that opens as a typeset, paginated document. This repo has three ways to teach an agent that: a Claude Code skill, a Cursor rule, and an MCP server.

Install

Claude Code skill
git clone https://github.com/xarl3z/magzdown-agent-tools
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r magzdown-agent-tools/skills/magzdown ~/.claude/skills/magzdown

Per project instead: copy to .claude/skills/magzdown/ inside the repo. Then ask Claude to "open this in magzdown" or "make this report readable".

Cursor rule
mkdir -p .cursor/rules
cp magzdown-agent-tools/cursor/magzdown.mdc .cursor/rules/

The rule is alwaysApply: false; Cursor picks it up from its description when you ask to share or present a document.

MCP server
cd magzdown-agent-tools/mcp
npm install && npm run build
claude mcp add magzdown -- node "$PWD/dist/index.js"

Cursor and Claude Desktop config is in mcp/README.md. The tool is open_in_magzdown({ markdown, title? }) and returns the link. Set MAGZDOWN_AUTO_OPEN=1 to also open it in your browser.

How the URL works

The markdown is the URL. Two bytes (0x01 0x00) go in front of the UTF-8 text, the payload is base64-encoded, made URL-safe (+ to -, / to _, padding stripped) and placed after https://www.magzdown.com/open?md=. The reader decodes it in the browser; nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Keep documents under about 100 KB or the URL may get truncated. The full spec with a test vector is in shared/encode.md and at https://www.magzdown.com/docs.
