About:
mlc is a command-line tool designed to validate links within local markup files such as Markdown. It scans for broken internal and external links, ensuring documentation integrity. The tool supports various markup formats and provides fast, reliable checking for development workflows.
Key Features:
  • Validates both internal and external links
  • Supports multiple markup formats including Markdown and AsciiDoc
  • Fast scanning optimized for large documentation projects
  • Configurable via command-line flags and a config file
Use Cases:
  • CI/CD pipeline integration to prevent broken links in documentation
  • Pre-deployment validation of static sites or documentation portals
  • Local development verification of README and wiki files
Alternatives:
  • lychee – mlc is lightweight and focused on local files; lychee is more feature-rich with broader protocol support and remote checking.
  • markdown-link-check – mlc is written in Rust for performance; markdown-link-check is Node.js-based and widely used but can be slower on large projects.
