What can you do with file2markdown?

file2markdown MCP server

Convert documents and web pages to clean, LLM-ready Markdown ā€” 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 ā€” including formats assistants can't parse natively, like DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, EPUB, and scanned PDFs.

Tools

convert_url Fetch a public URL (web page, PDF, Office doc, ā€¦) 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.

Honest limits

  • Web pages convert from served HTML ā€” 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 ā€” 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.

  • Setup guide: file2markdown.ai/mcp
