file2markdown MCP server
Convert documents and web pages to clean, LLM-ready Markdown — 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 — including formats assistants can't parse natively, like DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, EPUB, and scanned PDFs.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
convert_url | Fetch a public URL (web page, PDF, Office doc, …) and return Markdown |
convert_base64 | Convert file contents directly (programmatic clients) |
convert_batch | 2-10 documents in one call, URLs and files mixed, per-item results (Pro API key) |
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.
Quick start
claude.ai — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the endpoint URL. When asked about authentication choose None (this server uses API keys, not OAuth). Optional: add a request header Authorization: Bearer f2m_… with a Pro key.

Honest limits
- Web pages convert from served HTML — 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 — no bulk scraping, public pages only.
- Output is capped at 200,000 characters (marked
truncated: truewhen hit). - Nothing is stored: files are converted and discarded; usage logging keeps no URLs or content.
