mdedit-cli

Write and manage Markdown from the CLI

The official CLI for MD Editor. Manage workspaces, folders, articles, and API keys without leaving your terminal.

terminal

# Install

npm install -g mdedit-cli

Terminal-native Markdown writing workflows

Write in the app, script from the terminal, and export wherever you publish.

Create, inspect, and update content without context switching. Upload markdown from a file or stdin, then keep editing in the web app when you want.

Pull markdown for pipelines, export ZIPs for sharing, and wire MD Editor into your docs workflow.

Readable output for humans, and a clean JSON mode for scripts and agent workflows when you want to pipe results elsewhere.

Prefer scripting? Use --format json.

Authenticate once, set a default workspace, and you’re ready to go. Get an API key.

terminal

# Authenticate

mdedit config login --api-key <KEY>

# Choose a workspace

mdedit workspace list

mdedit config use-workspace <workspaceId>

# Sanity check

mdedit info

Copy/paste friendly examples for the most common workflows. See the full CLI docs for every flag and option.

List, inspect metadata, or pull markdown for piping.

terminal

# List articles (compact table)

mdedit article list

# Get article metadata

mdedit article get <articleId>

# Print markdown only (stdout)

mdedit article get <articleId> --content-only

# Export as a ZIP file

mdedit article export <articleId> --output ./article.zip

Create and update content from your terminal.

terminal

# Create an article (interactive)

mdedit article create

# Update title / archive / pin

mdedit article update <articleId> --title "New title"

mdedit article update <articleId> --archive

mdedit article update <articleId> --pin

# Update content from a file (or use - for stdin)

mdedit article update <articleId> --file ./article.md

Every command, flag, and configuration option is documented in the MD Editor docs.
