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.

Pro keys are created on your account page and sent as Authorization: Bearer f2m_…. Plans: pricing.

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: true when hit).
Nothing is stored: files are converted and discarded; usage logging keeps no URLs or content.
