Format strict JSON tables in Claude Desktop

The `generate_table_from_json` tool takes a raw JSON array of objects and outputs a formatted Markdown table. Your agent reads the keys to create column headers and aligns the corresponding values into rows. You skip the manual formatting process. Paste a JSON block into the chat, and Claude returns the exact grid structure required for your documentation without hallucinating column alignments.

Build automated document indices

The `generate_toc` tool parses raw Markdown text and returns a nested list of bulleted links. It reads the header levels and generates exact URL slugs for every anchor point in the document. Long README files get an immediate index. Your client processes the text block and outputs the list structure, saving you the trouble of manually typing out hash links for twenty different headers.

Bypass probabilistic formatting errors

Large language models struggle with strict character alignment in tables and precise slug generation for links. This MCP server offloads that formatting work to a deterministic engine. You get exact syntax every time you prompt your agent. The server handles the mechanical rules of Markdown while Claude focuses on generating the actual content you requested.
