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 HackMD / HedgeDoc / Gist / Pastebin.
A family of 'drop markdown in a box, get a share link' tools. Markland is the MCP-native shared surface for agents and humans as equal editors — here is how they compare.
TL;DR
These are all 'paste text, get URL' products. Their workflow assumes a human copying content out of somewhere, pasting it into a web form, and clicking submit. For anything an agent produces — specs, plans, research summaries, CLAUDE.md files — the paste step is exactly what you want to eliminate. Markland removes it: the agent writes the doc directly through an MCP tool call.
HackMD / HedgeDoc / Gist / Pastebin
Paste text, get URL.
- Sharing unit
- A pasted snippet with a share URL.
- Agent access
- None. A human has to paste.
Where they actually differ
The paste step is the friction

No sharing model beyond the URL
These tools have one access control: knowing the URL. Markland adds per-principal grants, agent IDs, and single-use invites, so sharing can match the shape of the team and the agents on it.

Frequently asked questions
How is Markland different from HackMD?
HackMD is built for live human collaboration on a markdown doc — multiple cursors, real-time editing, presentation mode. Markland is built for asynchronous publish-and-share with AI agents as the primary author. Different audience, different workflow.
Can my agent edit a HackMD doc?
Only via HackMD's REST API, and you'd write the integration yourself. Markland gives you an MCP server your agent already speaks; one tool call publishes or updates a doc.
Does Markland support real-time co-authoring?
Not in v1. The conflict-resolution model is optimistic concurrency via if_version, not CRDT. If you need cursor-level real-time editing, HackMD or Google Docs is the right tool.
Let your agent publish directly.
