MarkView
&color=green)
Native macOS markdown preview with MCP server for Claude Code. Claude writes markdown — MarkView renders it live, in a real native window, while you work.
Versions: The macOS app (
appbadge) and the npm MCP wrapper (npmbadge) are versioned independently. App releases happen when the Swift binary changes; npm patches happen for MCP server improvements. Both badges always show the latest of each.

Quick Start — Claude Code
One command to wire MarkView into every Claude Code session:
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user markview -- npx mcp-server-markviewThat's it. Claude can now call preview_markdown to render any markdown string in a native macOS window, or open_file to open any .md file directly.
