Qmd
Give your coding agent local full-text search over your markdown notes and docs via an MCP server instead of pasting files into chat.
Overview
qmd is a plugin marketplace for the Build phase that connects agents to local markdown search and retrieval through an MCP server.
What is this marketplace?
- Single-plugin marketplace bundling qmd skills plus an MCP server entry (command qmd, args mcp)
- Search and retrieve content from local markdown files without uploading repos to the cloud
- MIT-licensed plugin aimed at markdown, search, and qmd workflows
- Pairs agent skills under ./skills/ with repository tooling at github.com/tobi/qmd
- 1 plugin in the marketplace manifest
- 1 MCP server entry (command qmd, args mcp)
- Plugin version 0.1.0, MIT license
Community signal: 1 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Agents lose accuracy when your truth lives in scattered local markdown and you cannot search it programmatically from the session.
Who is it for?
Indie builders who document in markdown locally and use Claude Code or another MCP client daily.
Skip if: Teams that need hosted Confluence/Notion search, PDF ingestion, or search across non-markdown codebases without markdown docs.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you add the marketplace and configure MCP, the agent can query and cite passages from your on-disk markdown library during implementation work.
- MCP-connected qmd plugin usable from the agent session
- Bundled skills path for qmd-oriented agent workflows
- On-demand retrieval of relevant markdown snippets into the conversation

Journey fit
Local document retrieval wires into the build phase when agents need project context, specs, and READMEs on disk. MCP bridges Claude Code and similar clients to the qmd CLI—classic agent integration, not a standalone app feature.
How it compares
MCP-backed local markdown search marketplace, not a hosted RAG SaaS or a single copywriting skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Qmd for?
Solo and small-team developers who keep product and technical notes in local markdown and want their coding agent to search those files safely on-machine.
When should I use Qmd?
Use it during Build when you are implementing features and need the agent to pull specs, runbooks, or prior decisions from your markdown tree without manual copy-paste.
How do I add Qmd to my agent?
Register the kindship-ai/kindship-Qmd marketplace in Claude Code (or your MCP client), ensure the Qmd CLI is installed, and enable the Qmd MCP server defined in the plugin manifest.
