linkedown
Bidirectional Markdown ↔ LinkedIn Unicode converter.
LinkedIn does not render Markdown, but does display Unicode styled characters correctly.
linkedown converts between the two formats — both as a CLI tool and as an MCP server
for use by coding agents.
The Markdown → LinkedIn conversion logic is derived from md-to-linkedin by Scott Henning (MIT).
