Tablestakes

Tablestakes is an open-source MCP server designed to enable LLMs to accurately read and write tables embedded in Markdown and HTML documents, such as those from GitBook, Notion, and CMS exports. It solves the problem of unreadable, collapsed HTML tables by converting them into clean pipe table format for editing and restoring them to their original format after changes, ensuring compatibility and data integrity. Tablestakes offers a full suite of tools for discovering, reading, editing, and managing tables—with robust features for batch updates, column/row operations, and version-checked, lossless editing. Ideal for AI developers, platform integrators, or anyone needing programmatic, reliable access to complex table data in mixed-format documents.
