MarkItDown MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Convert remote or local resources (http/https/file/data URIs) into Markdown for ingestion, summarization, or downstream processing.

• 2

  A lightweight MCP tool accessible over STDIO or SSE to integrate document conversion into agent workflows and pipelines.

• 3

  Run document conversion in isolated environments (Docker) or integrate with Claude Desktop using an MCP server configuration.

Description

This package runs a small Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a single tool, convert_to_markdown(uri), capable of converting content from http, https, file, or data URIs into Markdown. It can be run locally via STDIO (default) or over SSE, and is designed to be easily deployed in Docker for isolation and integration with tools like Claude Desktop. The server is simple to run and integrate, but does not provide authentication, so care should be taken when exposing it over a network.
