Build and preview
Recursively turn Markdown into standalone HTML or serve a constrained local preview with contained asset reads and an allowlisted set of file types.
DocBlocks CLI and MCP
Documents that work at the command line—and with agents.
Build Markdown sites, preview local documents, convert between formats, render video, parse source, and expose a bounded local MCP server for artifact-first agent workflows.
npm install -g @bendyline/docblocks-cli
docblocks --help
Direct when you want it, bounded when you need it
One toolchain, two authority models.
Direct CLI commands use the invoking process’s filesystem authority and write their documented outputs. MCP starts with no filesystem grants, keeps results as temporary session artifacts, and materializes a file only through an explicit save operation.
Convert and render
Convert one source into Word, PowerPoint, PDF, HTML, DBK, and other supported targets, or render Markdown and imported documents as MP4 or GIF.
Work with AI agents
Inspect, validate, preview, compare, and convert through strict MCP tools. Explicit root grants remain separate from artifact creation and durable output.
See every supported direction.
Format capabilities come from the linked Squisq registry and distinguish import from export.
