GPDoc for VS Code and Cursor

The Markdown workspace for technical teams

GPDoc brings live collaboration, comments and suggestions, safe version history, Google Drive, Microsoft 365, and reviewable agent workflows into the IDE. Documents, notebooks, slides, diagrams, scripts, and spreadsheets stay open, versionable, and close to the code and research they describe.

GPEditor is the shared Markdown engine across GPDoc web, desktop, mobile, VS Code, and Cursor. In the IDE, it combines visual editing with Markdown, LaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, code, tables, comments, suggestions, Git workflows, and cloud interoperability.

Collaborate live in open files

Edit the same shared document with live presence and remote cursors.
Use owner, editor, commenter, and viewer roles when sharing work.
Review comments and suggestions without moving the source into a closed document format.
Open version history, preview automatic or named checkpoints, and use safe restore when the file needs to return to a known state.

The same GPDoc file model works across web, macOS, iOS, VS Code, and Cursor. Exact controls can differ by platform.

Work where the source already lives

Documents: Write and review technical documents with visual and Markdown editing, comments, suggestions, math, code, tables, and diagrams.
Notebooks: Run Python and TypeScript cells for analysis, examples, and reproducible notes.
Slides: Build Markdown presentations with split editing and presentation mode.
Diagrams and drawings: Keep Mermaid, architecture, C4, ER, class, flowchart, and Kanban source beside the work.
Scripts and spreadsheets: Author executable scripts and SQL-backed table workflows from GPDoc files.
Open files and Git: Store .gpdoc.json or GPDoc Markdown in a repository, review diffs, and keep content portable.
Shared work: Keep collaboration, review, version history, and Git close to the same source.

Google Workspace and Microsoft 365

GPDoc works with the document systems your collaborators already use.

Import Google Docs and Google Slides from Google Drive.
Export GPDoc documents and slides back to Google Drive.
Import Word and PowerPoint files from Microsoft 365 and OneDrive.
Export or update linked Word and PowerPoint files in Microsoft 365.
Create Microsoft 365 sharing links and reopen linked files.

Cloud actions are available from the GPDoc File menu, export modal, Explorer context menu, and Command Palette where the selected file type is supported.

Reviewable agent workflows

The extension includes GPDoc language-model tools and an MCP server for compatible agent clients. Use GPDoc commands to configure the workspace for VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex:

GPDoc: Activate MCP Server
GPDoc: Deactivate MCP Server

Agents can list, read, create, and update GPDoc files, add comments and suggestions, add slides, and add notebook cells. GPDoc files remain the durable source so agent work stays visible in the editor and Git.

Getting started

Install GPDoc.
Run GPDoc: Open GPDoc from the Command Palette.
Create a document, notebook, slides, script, drawing, or spreadsheet.
Open a .gpdoc.json file or GPDoc Markdown file with the GPDoc custom editor.

To connect cloud providers, search the Command Palette for GPDoc: Connect Microsoft 365 or use the Google connection action inside the GPDoc File menu.

Configuration

Open Settings (Cmd+, on macOS or Ctrl+, on Windows and Linux), then search for GPDoc. Settings cover local file formats, editor views, Google Docs layout, cloud sync, the backend URL, telemetry, and agent workflows.

For local-only editing:

{
  "gpdoc.enableCloudSync": false
}

Supported IDEs

GPDoc is built for VS Code and Cursor. Other VS Code-compatible IDEs can install the Open VSX package, but host-specific APIs may affect language-model tools or MCP setup.

GPDoc uses the same file model as the web, iOS, and macOS apps. Exact interface features can differ by platform.
