Apify document tools

Open-source Apify Actors for working with business documents. Run them in the cloud with no setup from Apify Store, call them from your code, or plug them into AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

Use from AI agents (MCP)

All four Actors are available as MCP tools — hosted (no install): https://mcp.apify.com?tools=ai_admin/document-to-markdown,ai_admin/office-to-pdf,ai_admin/pdf-image-converter,ai_admin/audio-transcriber — or as a local stdio server in mcp-server/.

Built with

LibreOffice, Tesseract OCR, pdfplumber, pypdfium2, markitdown, openpyxl, pypdf and the Apify Python SDK.

Development

Each Actor folder is self-contained (Dockerfile, .actor/, src/, tests/):

cd document-to-markdown
python tests/make_corpus.py /tmp/corpus          # 32 sample documents with known content (needs LibreOffice)
python -m tests.check local /tmp/corpus          # convert locally and compare with the expected content
python tools/deploy.py                           # create/update the Actor on Apify (APIFY_TOKEN) and build it

cd ../office-to-pdf
python -m tests.check local /tmp/corpus --pdfa   # Office -> PDF/A on the same corpus

cd ../audio-transcriber
GROQ_API_KEY=... python -m tests.check /path/to/media   # real Groq calls; see tests/check.py for the sample files

cd ../pdf-image-converter
python -m tests.check /tmp/corpus                # PDF <-> image conversions

Local runs need Tesseract (eng, ukr, rus), LibreOffice and the packages from requirements.txt.

Bug reports with a sample document (or a similar public file) are welcome as GitHub issues.
