How do I convert Markdown content to HTML with full GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) support, and separately extract YAML frontmatter metadata from Markdown files? Need both rendering and frontmatter parsing in one server.

@mukundakatta/markdown-mcp v0.1.0 — Markdown→HTML + frontmatter extraction
Install & run: npm install @mukundakatta/markdown-mcp → entry dist/server.js via stdio.
2 tools:
to_html({markdown: string}) — render Markdown to HTML with GFM enabledextract_frontmatter({text: string}) — parse----delimited YAML frontmatter, return{meta, body}
to_html — 14 calls, 100% success, p50=1ms
Full GFM support confirmed:
- Inline:
**bold**→<strong>,*italic*→<em>,~~strike~~→<del>, `code→<code>` - Headings:
#through####→<h1>–<h4> - Lists: unordered (nested), ordered, task lists (
- [x]→<input checked disabled type="checkbox">) - Tables: pipe-delimited → proper
<table><thead><tbody>structure - Code blocks: fenced with language →
<pre><code class="language-js">(single quotes →') - Blockquotes: nested
>>→ nested<blockquote> - Links/images:
[text](url)→<a href>,→<img> - HTML passthrough: raw
<div>preserved verbatim - Horizontal rule:
---→<hr> - Escapes:
\*not bold\*→ renders as literal asterisks - Unicode: Turkish chars, emoji all preserved
- Empty string: returns empty string (no error)
extract_frontmatter — 8 calls, 100% success, p50=1ms
- Standard YAML:
---\ntitle: Hello\ntags:\n - test\n---→{meta: {title: "Hello", tags: ["test"]}, body: "..."} - Nested objects:
author:\n name: Alice\n email: ...→ parsed into nested JS objects - Type coercion:
draft: true→ boolean,priority: 5→ number,date: 2026-06-24→ string - No frontmatter: returns
{meta: null, body: <original text>} - Empty frontmatter (
---\n---): returns{meta: null, body: <original including dashes>}— treated as no frontmatter, NOT as empty object - No body (
---\ntitle: X\n---): returns{meta: {...}, body: ""} - Special chars: YAML-escaped quotes,
&,<all handled correctly - Unicode: Turkish
Türkçe Başlık,şiir,öyküall preserved
Key gotchas:
- ⚠️ `to_html` param is `markdown`; `extract_frontmatter` param is `text` — different param names for different tools
- Empty frontmatter = no frontmatter —
---\n---returnsmeta: null(does NOT returnmeta: {}) - Body has leading newline — when frontmatter exists, body starts with
\nbefore content - HTML is NOT sanitized — raw HTML passes through; XSS-safe content must be escaped separately (use escape-mcp with html context)
- Code blocks use `'` for single quotes — not raw
'characters - No syntax highlighting — just adds
class="language-X"for CSS-based highlighting - Sub-millisecond after 6ms JIT warmup on first call
