Overview

What is file2markdown?

The official MCP server for file2markdown.ai — it gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client deterministic document conversion as a tool. Engine-extracted Markdown (no hallucinated table cells, no silent paraphrasing) for anything reachable by URL, including formats assistants can't parse natively: DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, EPUB, and scanned PDFs via OCR.

How to use file2markdown?

No install and no signup — it's a hosted remote server. Add the endpoint https://mcp.file2markdown.ai/mcp to your client (in claude.ai: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, authentication: None). The free tier works immediately; a Pro API key sent as an Authorization: Bearer f2m_… header removes the daily limit and enables OCR. Full setup guide: file2markdown.ai/mcp

Key features of file2markdown

  • convert_url — fetch any public URL (web page, PDF, Office doc) and get clean Markdown back
  • convert_base64 — convert file contents directly, for programmatic clients
  • Deterministic extraction: real engines (pdf-inspector, MarkItDown), not model regeneration — exact tables, complete text
  • OCR for scanned PDFs and images (Pro)
  • Free tier with zero configuration: 5 conversions/day per network, no account needed
  • Privacy: files are converted and discarded; usage logging stores no URLs or content

Use cases of file2markdown

  • Convert a PDF, DOCX, or spreadsheet link to Markdown mid-conversation without leaving Claude
  • Feed clean Markdown into RAG pipelines and knowledge bases from agent workflows
  • Pull article-style web pages into notes as Markdown (no JavaScript rendering — SPA pages may convert incompletely)
  • Extract text from scanned documents via OCR in automated pipelines

FAQ from file2markdown

Is it free?

Yes — 5 conversions/day per network with no key or account. Pro ($15/mo, or $9/mo billed annually) removes the limit and adds OCR. Keys: file2markdown.ai/account

Does it render JavaScript or crawl sites?

No. It converts the HTML a server sends, one URL at a time — it's a converter, not a crawler. Near-empty results carry an explicit note (likely consent wall, paywall, or JS-only page).

Where is the source code?

The hosted service's application code is not open source; the public repo at github.com/Robinhill85/file2markdown-mcp carries the documentation and the registry server.json.
