file2markdown MCP server

Convert documents and web pages to clean, LLM-ready Markdown — from inside Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.

Endpoint: https://mcp.file2markdown.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP)

This is the official MCP server for file2markdown.ai. It gives agents deterministic document conversion as a tool: engine-extracted Markdown (no hallucinated table cells, no silent truncation), for anything reachable by URL — including formats assistants can't parse natively, like DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, EPUB, and scanned PDFs.

Tools

Supported input formats: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX/XLS, CSV, JSON, XML, HTML, EPUB, JPG/PNG (OCR), WAV/MP3, ZIP.

Honest limits

  • Web pages convert from served HTML — no JavaScript rendering, so SPA-style pages may convert incompletely. Near-empty results carry an explicit note (likely consent wall / paywall / JS shell).
  • One URL at a time. This is a converter, not a crawler — no bulk scraping, public pages only.
  • Output is capped at 200,000 characters (marked truncated: true when hit).
  • Nothing is stored: files are converted and discarded; usage logging keeps no URLs or content.

Docs & source

  • Setup guide: file2markdown.ai/mcp

  • This repository contains the public documentation and the registry server.json. The hosted service's application code is not open source.
