"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mdgen-mcp"],

Security
- Your PAT is passed via your client's
envand never leaves your machine except as aAuthorization: Bearerheader to the mdgen API. It is not stored in this package. - The PAT grants access only to your documents. Revoke it anytime from mdgen.
- Treat the token like a password. Do not commit it.
