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.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
convert_url | Fetch a public URL (web page, PDF, Office doc, …) and return Markdown |
convert_base64 | Convert file contents directly (programmatic clients) |
list_supported_formats | Formats, per-tier limits, and what needs Pro |
usage_status | Your tier and remaining conversions today |
Supported input formats: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX/XLS, CSV, JSON, XML, HTML, EPUB, JPG/PNG (OCR), WAV/MP3, ZIP.
