A Model Context Protocol server for converting almost anything to Markdown
Markdownify MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes ten discrete tools for converting documents, media, and web content into Markdown text, connecting to Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible Claude client via a simple JSON server configuration. The tools cover PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files, images with metadata extraction via OCR, audio files with transcription, general web pages, Bing search results, YouTube video transcripts, and direct retrieval of existing Markdown files. Under the hood it wraps Microsoft's markitdown Python library, installed automatically into a local virtual environment during setup, alongside repomix for git repository conversion. A notable constraint is that the published Docker image installs only the PDF extras, meaning audio transcription and image OCR require a full local install with markitdown[all]. The MD_ALLOWED_PATHS environment variable lets administrators restrict file access to specific directories, making the server suitable for deployment in controlled or shared environments. Writers, researchers, and developers who need to feed diverse file formats into Claude conversations will find it most useful.
