Cursor uses the same mcpServers schema as Claude Desktop. Project config wins over global.

Continue uses an array of server objects rather than a map.

        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to context_servers. Zed hot-reloads on save.

claude mcp add md2wechat-skill -- git clone https://github.com/geekjourneyx/md2wechat-skill ~/.claude/skills/md2wechat-skill

One-liner. Verify with claude mcp list. Remove with claude mcp remove.

Use Cases

Real-world ways to use md2wechat-skill

Turn a Markdown draft into a WeChat Official Account draft in one step

👤 运营 / 公众号 editors who prefer writing in Markdown ⏱ ~5 min beginner

When to use: You draft in Obsidian/VSCode and dread the manual formatting in the WeChat editor.

Prerequisites

md2wechat.cn API key — Sign up at md2wechat.cn — free tier available
WeChat Official Account API credentials — Register your 公众号 and get AppID/AppSecret

Flow

Convert via API mode

Use md2wechat-skill. Take this draft at article.md, convert with the 'modern' theme, and push to WeChat drafts.✓ Copied

→ Themed HTML + draft URL in the WeChat backend
Review in WeChat editor

(manual step — open the draft)✓ Copied

→ Preview matches intent

Outcome: A publish-ready WeChat draft in seconds instead of 20 minutes of copy-paste.

Pitfalls

Images in your Markdown are local paths — Skill uploads local images to WeChat's media library — they must be accessible to the runner

Combine with: filesystem

Use AI mode for a visually distinctive long-form essay

👤 Creators who want more than a template theme ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

When to use: The piece warrants custom pull-quotes, callouts, or visual hierarchy.

Flow

Request AI mode

Use md2wechat-skill in AI mode. Style this essay with warm typography and pull-quotes.✓ Copied

→ Claude produces richer HTML styling than a preset theme
Upload to drafts

Now push to the 公众号 draft backend.✓ Copied

→ Draft ID returned

Outcome: A visually distinct article that stands out in the feed.

Pitfalls

Over-styling hurts mobile readability — Preview on mobile before publishing — WeChat users are 95%+ mobile

Combine with: claude-blog-skill
