PDFtoMarkdown.ai — MCP Server

An MCP server that lets AI agents convert PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, images, HTML, and EPUB into clean, structured Markdown — powered by PDFtoMarkdown.ai.

Give Claude, Cursor, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw, or any MCP-compatible client a convert_pdf_to_markdown tool so it can turn local documents into agent-ready Markdown on demand — headings, tables, and OCR text preserved — instead of choking on raw document blobs.

Why

Models reason far better over clean Markdown than over raw PDF/Office layout. Converting a document once to Markdown is cheaper, faster, and higher-fidelity than making the model re-OCR it on every run.

Features

🧠 Agent-ready Markdown — headings, lists, and tables preserved
📄 Many formats — PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PNG/JPG, HTML, EPUB
🔍 OCR — reads scanned PDFs and images (optional Force OCR)
🔌 Drop-in MCP — one tool, works in any MCP client
⚡ Fast — most documents convert in seconds

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+
A free API key from your PDFtoMarkdown.ai account

Installation

npm install -g @happywp/pdftomarkdown-mcp

Configuration

Add the server to your MCP client's config, using the API key from your account.

Claude Desktop — claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdftomarkdown": {
      "command": "pdftomarkdown-mcp",
      "env": {
        "PDFTOMARKDOWN_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor — ~/.cursor/mcp.json uses the same mcpServers shape.

Codex — ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.pdftomarkdown]
command = "pdftomarkdown-mcp"
env = { PDFTOMARKDOWN_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here" }

Restart your client so the server loads.

Usage

Just ask your agent:

Convert this PDF to Markdown and summarize the key points: /path/to/document.pdf
