mdsel
Use mcp__mdsel__mdsel tool for markdown files:
- Index first:
files: ["README.md"](no selector) - Then select:
files: ["README.md"], selector: "h2.4,h3.6"
0-based indexing. Always index before selecting.
NEVER use the * wildcard selector. If you need the entire document, use the Read tool instead - that's what it's for. The purpose of mdsel is selective reading to save tokens.
When to use Read instead
Use the Read tool for markdown files when:
- You need the entire file content (don't use mdsel with
*orroot- just use Read) - You plan to edit the file (Edit tool requires prior Read)
