mq is a jq-like command-line tool and query language for slicing, filtering, and transforming Markdown via its AST, written in Rust as a single native binary. It includes a REPL, LSP support, a debugger, and companion tools such as an MCP server for AI assistants.

Use cases

• extract all headings from markdown files
• filter and transform markdown documents from the command line
• prepare structured markdown input for LLM prompts
• batch process documentation files
• convert html to markdown
• query markdown like jq queries json

When to choose

• you already know jq and want the same workflow for Markdown
• you need fast, structural (AST-based) Markdown manipulation without regex
• you process Markdown for LLM pipelines or documentation at scale

When to avoid

• you need rich-text or WYSIWYG Markdown editing rather than programmatic querying
• your documents are not Markdown and you don't want format conversion
• you need a fully stable, long-term-supported tool given active development
