Json Markdown Studio
A local desktop editor for JSON & Markdown
Built-in MCP server — let AI agents read & edit your files directly through a gated, permission-scoped interface. 100% local.
Windows · Tauri v2 · React 19 · TypeScript · Vite ·
Json Markdown Studio is a desktop editor for local files: JSON supports tree view / table view / live syntax validation, Markdown provides WYSIWYG editing, and it includes a built-in MCP server so external AI agents (Codex / Claude Code / Cursor) can operate on documents directly.
A lightweight desktop editor for local JSON & Markdown files — tree/table views, live JSON validation, WYSIWYG Markdown editing, plus a built-in MCP server so external AI agents can drive the editor directly.
✨ Features
JSON — Tree / table / code views, live syntax validation with precise error location, path statistics
Markdown — True WYSIWYG editing — click any rendered block and type, formatting applies live; floating format toolbar
AI Integration (MCP Server) — Gated whitelist interface: external AI agents can read/write files, search, patch JSON by path, append markdown sections — read-only / confirm-before-write / full-access modes
Lightweight Desktop Experience — Frameless custom title bar, fully local, no cloud dependency
