Workflow#

1. Prepare the markdown content:
   • If the user wants to publish an existing file, use the Read tool to read it first, then publish its contents. Before publishing, scan the content for secrets (API keys, tokens, passwords, credentials, private keys, .env values). If any are found, warn the user and do NOT publish until they confirm.
   • If generating new markdown, start with a # Title for proper page titles and link previews. Never include secrets or credentials in generated content.
2. Use the Bash tool with curl to POST the markdown.
3. To safely handle special characters (quotes, apostrophes, newlines), use Python to JSON-encode the payload, then pipe it to curl:

bash

curl -s -X POST https://md.page/api/publish \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "$(python3 -c "
import json
md = '''YOUR MARKDOWN HERE'''
print(json.dumps({'markdown': md}))
")"

1. Parse the JSON response and return the url to the user. Mention the page expires in 24 hours.
2. If the request fails, check the error status code against the table above and inform the user.

Formatting tips#

• A first-line # Heading becomes the page title in browser tabs and social previews.
• Code blocks, tables, blockquotes, lists, images, and links all render with clean styling.
• Dark mode is automatic.
• Max content size: 500KB.
• URLs are private, unguessable 6-character IDs.
