Real-time collaboration

Google Docs-grade collaboration on the file agents already read.

Open a .md and edit it together, live, with teammates and AI in the same session. Presence, cursors, and CRDT sync on plain markdown that stays canonical on disk.

Live multiplayer, no conflicts

See every teammate’s cursor and edits in real time. CRDT sync merges changes as you type, so there are no locks, no overwrites, and no "who has the file open."

Humans and agents, one document

Agents join the same live session over MCP. What you type and what an agent writes land in the same file at once, so the next prompt references the current truth.

Edits you can review

Agents patch one section at a time and can propose changes you accept or reject, so collaboration stays intentful and nobody clobbers your work.

Token economics

Clean markdown saves a massive number of tokens.

Convert messy documents into structured .md once, then reference the same portable file everywhere agents already work.

75–90%

Raw HTML

Strip tags, CSS, nested markup, and rendering noise that models never needed.

40–60%

Word / DOCX

Drop the embedded XML and style runs wrapped around the text. (Image-heavy files shrink less.)

40–65%

PDF vs page images

Send clean extracted text instead of OCR’d page images. Vs already-extracted text, markdown is roughly the same size.

Measured on real documents with the o200k tokenizer. HTML and DOCX figures compare the raw marked-up source to clean markdown; PDF compares page-image/OCR ingestion to extracted text. Actual savings vary by document.

Why it helps

Agent-native docs without the collaboration penalty.

Removes dead weight

Markdown keeps structure: headings, lists, and emphasis, without shipping hidden formatting code into every prompt.

Replaces binary bloat

Stop sending PDFs and Word files through OCR or XML parsing when the useful context fits in plain text.

Prevents context drift

Humans and agents edit the same source file, so the next prompt references the current truth instead of yesterday’s paste.

Current MCP server capabilities

A real-time MCP server for the documents agents already need.

It runs as a stdio MCP server that Claude, Cursor, or any agent can connect to. It joins the same live Yjs collaboration session as the browser, so agent edits and human edits happen in one shared document. New: agents can patch a single section at a time, see which part you are looking at, and wait for your reply instead of guessing.

read_sectionnew

Reads one heading-scoped section, so the agent pulls just the part it needs instead of the whole file.

write_sectionnew

Patches a single section in place, minimizing conflicts and never clobbering what a human is editing elsewhere.

wait_for_changenew

Hands control back to the human and blocks until they reply, turning edits into real turn-taking.

get_contextnew

Reports the live outline and which section each person is editing, so agents work where you are looking.

propose_change

Suggests an edit as a reviewable proposal the human can accept or reject, instead of a silent overwrite.

flag

Raises an inline callout when the spec conflicts with the code or an assumption goes stale.

update_task_state

Keeps a shared Task State block current: goal, decisions, next action, and the last validated command.

list_documents

Lists every doc in the account with name, title, and last updated time.

read_document

Returns a document by name so the agent reads the latest live content.

create_document

Creates docs that open in live editors and appear in the dashboard.

update_document

Replaces content instantly in the same shared document session.

append_to_document

Appends text to existing content, useful for agent notes and running specs.

$npx add-mcp@latest --command easymd --args mcp --name easymd

Connect every agent (Cursor, Claude, VS Code…) after `npm i -g easymd-cli && easymd login`.

From your terminal

Agents can edit the same document humans see.

The MCP server joins the live Yjs collaboration session through stdio, so Claude and Cursor write into the same document as the browser. No separate API. No stale copy. No second source of truth.

  • ✓Canonical on disk: the .md in your repo is the document.
  • ✓Real-time multiplayer, presence, and CRDT sync.
  • ✓Agents, PMs, and engineers work from the same referenceable file.
