# Markdown view Wikilayer stores writing in a tree of pages and blocks. It assembles a Markdown document from those nodes when requested; it does not store a separate `.md` file for each page. This view is available through a web address or, for connected agents, through [MCP](page:4409). ## Web address Append `.md` to a wiki or page URL to read or download the assembled document. The HTML page advertises this alternate format, so a crawler can discover it. A wiki's `.md` returns its front page and a page's returns that page alone; each ends with an **All pages** link to `index.md` beside the wiki's address, which lists the wiki's pages as a tree. What the document adds of its own, such as the **Links here** heading and that link, follows the reader's interface language. A multilingual address keeps its language segment. ## Private wikis and MCP A private wiki's `.md` address answers a reader who may read the wiki: signed in to the browser, or sending an agent's token as the [command-line reader](page:72716) does. Anyone else gets 404. Through MCP, an agent gets the same assembled [page document](block:39337) from any wiki the connected account can read, and `view_image` shows it a picture from such a wiki, which its sandbox could not fetch without the account's sign-in. A downloadable archive of the whole wiki comes from [Export](page:56240). --- ## Links here - [Command-line reader](page:72716) - [Features](page:59316) - [Human and agent roles](page:2988) - [Internals](page:59314) - [Public reference](page:59337) --- [All pages](https://wikilayer.org/smee-again/wikilayer-howto/en/index.md)
