Installation
npm install
npm run buildClaude Desktop Setup
Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"toolkit": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/tools-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
}
}
}Important: Use absolute paths, not relative paths.
After updating the configuration, fully quit Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q on macOS) and reopen it.
Claude Code Setup
Global Configuration (recommended)
Edit ~/.claude.json and add the server under the mcpServers key. This makes the server available in all projects without per-project approval prompts:
{
"mcpServers": {
"toolkit": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/tools-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
}
}
}Project Configuration
Alternatively, add a .mcp.json file to your project root for project-specific access:
{
"mcpServers": {
"toolkit": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/tools-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
}
}
}After adding the config, restart Claude Code (exit then claude).

Scored across 7 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: conversion between ADF and Markdown is directional, TOC tools are differentiated by generate/insert/refresh actions, and the format tool is explicitly a combined operation. No two tools have overlapping functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent pattern of 'markdown_' prefix followed by verb-oriented terms (e.g., format_tables, generate_toc). The conversion tools use a clear directional suffix (adf_to_markdown/markdown_to_adf), and all names are in lowercase snake_case.
Seven tools is a well-scoped set for a markdown utility server, covering conversion, formatting, and TOC management without unnecessary bloat or missing essentials.
The tool surface covers the full lifecycle of markdown manipulation: bidirectional ADF conversion, table formatting, TOC generation/insertion/refresh, and a combined formatter. No obvious gaps or dead ends for the stated domain.
