Description

This MCP server lets LLM-driven applications (e.g., Claude Desktop) request rich, structured Markdown conversions of many document types (PDF, Office files, images, audio, HTML, ZIP, YouTube, ePub, etc.). It centralizes document conversion logic, supports plugins, optional LLM-based image descriptions, and integrates with services like Azure Document Intelligence for higher-fidelity extraction. The output is optimized for downstream LLM consumption by preserving headings, lists, tables, links, and other semantic structure while remaining token-efficient.
