Refigure Overview

The refigure MCP server converts DOCX and XLSX files to Markdown while preserving native OOXML chart data and composite-figure markers. It runs through stdio or Streamable HTTP and exposes conversion capabilities for MCP clients, including batch processing with per-file isolation. Optional VLM support can interpret figures without native chart data, but native chart extraction does not require OCR, rasterization, or an ML model. Reach for it when document content and chart values need to remain machine-readable for downstream agents.
