# Markdown Sidecar MCP Server

> Use this tool when you need to access markdown documentation for local packages, such as NPM, Go, and PyPi, to inform code generation and streamline development. It solves the problem of disconnected documentation by surfacing relevant information directly from a project's working directory. The tool takes local package directories as input and outputs markdown documentation as MCP resources or tools.
