Markdown to Something

API Usage

You can also use our API to convert markdown programmatically. Here are some examples using cURL:

Convert to DOCX

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"markdown": "# Hello World"}' \
     https://md.colinknapp.com/api/convert

Convert to HTML (Professional Template)

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"markdown": "# Hello World", "format": "html", "template": "professional", 
     "title": "Document Title", "subtitle": "Document Subtitle", 
     "contact": "Contact Information", "footer": "Footer Text"}' \
     https://md.colinknapp.com/api/convert

Convert to HTML and Send to Haste

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"markdown": "# Hello World", "format": "html", "template": "professional", 
     "send_to_haste": true}' \
     https://md.colinknapp.com/api/convert

When using send_to_haste: true, the response will include haste_key, haste_url, and preview_url fields.

Haste Integration

This application integrates with haste.nixc.us to allow sharing HTML output without requiring server-side storage:

• HTML Sharing: Convert markdown to HTML and share via a unique URL
• Preview Endpoint: View shared HTML documents through the application's preview endpoint

To use this feature, check the "Send HTML to haste.nixc.us" option before converting.

The preview URL format is: https://md.colinknapp.com/haste/{haste_key}

MCP Server Support

This application can also be used as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI assistants to convert markdown documents programmatically.

The MCP server runs automatically alongside the web server on the same port. No additional configuration is needed.

The MCP server provides tools for document conversion, resource access, and haste integration.

For more information, see the MCP Server documentation.
