Markland
Shared documents. For you and your agents.
- Sharing unit
- A single doc. Every doc has a share link.
- Agent access
- First-class. MCP server, one tool call to publish, share, or edit.
Markland vs GitHub.
A source-control host whose sharing unit is the repository. Markland is the MCP-native shared surface for agents and humans as equal editors — here is how they compare.
TL;DR
GitHub's sharing unit is the repository, not the document. To share one private file, your viewer needs a GitHub account *and* membership of your organization. For a design doc you want a non-engineer teammate to read, that is a dead end. Markland's unit is the doc — one share link, one viewer, no org membership.
GitHub
The home of open source code.
- Sharing unit
- A repository. You grant access to the repo, not the file.
- Agent access
- None via MCP. Agents would need repo write access, auth, and a commit/PR flow.
Where they actually differ
Sharing unit mismatch
GitHub's sharing unit is the repository, not the document. To share one private file, your viewer needs a GitHub account *and* membership of your organization. For a design doc you want a non-engineer teammate to read, that is a dead end. Markland's unit is the doc — one share link, one viewer, no org membership.
Code-review chrome bounces readers
Even when a markdown file renders on GitHub, it is wrapped in commit history, file tree, blame tabs, and branch selectors. A PM or client opens the link, sees a code-review UI, and bounces. GitHub's viewer is built for engineers reviewing code. Markland's viewer is built for readers reading a doc.
Agents can't publish
Publishing to GitHub requires auth, repo write access, and a commit. There is no MCP surface. Your agent can't hand you back a shareable URL from a single tool call — it has to ask for credentials and run a multi-step commit/PR dance. Markland is one tool call.
What GitHub is still better at
If your content is code, or if it lives next to code, GitHub is the right home. Public repos and Gists solve 'share a public file' cleanly. Markland is for the private docs and agent-authored notes that do not belong in a source tree.
Pick GitHub when
Engineering teams reviewing code, versioning source, and shipping software.
Pick Markland when
Solo developers and small teams whose agents produce markdown they want to share — specs, plans, research notes, CLAUDE.md files.
Frequently asked questions
Why not just use a private GitHub repo?
Because GitHub's sharing unit is the repository. To share one document, your reader needs a GitHub account, organization membership, and the ability to navigate Git's branching model. Markland's sharing unit is a single document — a URL your reader opens in any browser.
Does Markland integrate with GitHub?
Not directly. You can publish a markdown file to Markland that is also tracked in a Git repo on your end; Markland just stores the bytes you send via markland_publish. There's no automatic sync — that's a deliberate scope decision for v1.
Can I use Markland for code review?
Markland is for sharing finished or near-finished documents, not for line-level diff review. If you're reviewing code changes, GitHub PRs are the right tool. Markland fills the gap when an agent's output is a markdown spec, plan, or report that doesn't need a PR workflow.
