Markdown Backlog Converter MCP

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that converts Markdown into Backlog wiki notation. It exposes a single tool, markdown_to_backlog, which can be accessed from MCP-compatible clients such as Cursor, Claude Code, or the MCP Inspector.

Features

• Converts Markdown strings to Backlog notation using the md2bg library
• Runs as an MCP stdio server, making it easy to integrate into local development tools
• Includes automated tests that verify conversion accuracy with sample fixtures

Installation

npm install -g markdown-backlog-converter-mcp

Or run via npx without a global install (see the npm package page):

npx markdown-backlog-converter-mcp

MCP Configuration Examples

Add the server to your mcp.json (or Cursor/Claude configuration) using one of the following recipes.

Local build

If you prefer running your own build, set things up like so (replace the paths with your environment):

1. Clone and enter the repository:

git clone git@github.com:tominaga-h/markdown-backlog-converter-mcp.git
cd markdown-backlog-converter-mcp

2. Install dependencies and build the server:

npm install
npm run build

3. Register the built server in mcp.json:

{
  "markdown-to-backlog": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["/<path to repo>/markdown-backlog-converter-mcp/dist/server.js"]
  }
}

Via npx

{
  "markdown-to-backlog": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["markdown-backlog-converter-mcp"]
  }
}

Usage

After installation, configure your MCP-compatible client with the stdio command markdown-backlog-converter-mcp. The server registers a single tool:

Clients can call this tool by passing Markdown text as the markdown argument. The response includes both plain text content and structured data containing the Backlog-formatted result.

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm test

The entrypoint is located at src/server.ts, which exports both a reusable createServer() factory and a CLI entry point exposed via bin.
