What problem does it solve?
Agents cannot see your local Markdown notes unless you paste them, so answers drift from what is actually in your repo or knowledge base.
Who is it for?
Indie builders who keep specs, runbooks, and research in Markdown and want MCP-backed local search without a heavy vector stack.
Skip if: Teams whose sources are only in Notion, PDFs, or proprietary wikis with no Markdown export pipeline.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Claude queries indexed local Markdown through qmd and returns document-grounded snippets for coding and writing tasks.
- Retrieved Markdown excerpts with source paths
- MCP-connected local search for agents
- Grounded answers over personal or repo docs

Journey fit
Local doc search is agent-tooling during Build, but the same corpus supports Idea research and ongoing docs maintenance. agent-tooling fits because qmd exposes an MCP server and skills for retrieval-augmented agent work over Markdown files.
How it compares
Local Markdown MCP search marketplace, not a cloud SEO or citation bibliography skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Qmd for?
Solo builders and developers who store project knowledge in local Markdown and want Claude Code to search those files reliably.
When should I use Qmd?
Use it during Build or research whenever agent answers must cite your on-disk docs, SKILL files, or personal notes.
How do I add Qmd to my agent?
Install the Qmd marketplace, install the Qmd CLI from the published repository, and enable the plugin so the Qmd MCP server starts with command Qmd mcp.
