MDPilot docs
MDPilot turns messy task input — tickets, threads, specs — into precise, expert-grade prompts your AI coding agent can act on immediately. It also generates production-grade instruction files, explains code to any audience, converts documents to markdown, and more.
Three ways to use it
Go to mdpilot.in/task — no account, no install, no API key. Paste a task and get a structured prompt in seconds.
Try Task mode →
Install the MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or Goose. Your AI agent can call MDPilot tools mid-conversation.
MCP setup →
Install the MDPilot extension from the VS Code Marketplace. Works in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. No JSON config — press Ctrl+Shift+P and start generating.
