What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 12, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

convert_url
Fetch a URL (web page, PDF, Office doc, and more) and convert it to Markdown. Works on publicly accessible URLs. Web pages are converted from their served HTML; JavaScript-rendered content may be incomplete. Optional filename_hint (e.g. "report.pdf") helps format detection when t
convert_base64
Convert base64-encoded file contents to Markdown. filename is required and drives format detection (e.g. "report.docx"). Intended for programmatic MCP clients; for anything with a URL, prefer convert_url. quality_check: "basic" (default) attaches local output-health checks in the
convert_batch
Convert 2-10 documents to Markdown in one call (Pro API key required). Each item is either {"url": ..., "filename_hint"?: ...} or {"content_base64": ..., "filename": ...}; types may be mixed. Items are converted in parallel and isolated: one bad URL or file never fails the batch
list_supported_formats
List supported input formats, per-tier limits, and which features need Pro. Single source of truth — do not claim capabilities beyond what this returns.
usage_status
Check your tier and remaining conversions before burning a call.

Common questions

Is file2markdown safe?

It passed 4 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 31 days ago, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 31 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

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.

Cursor / generic clients

"mcpServers": { "file2markdown": { "url": "https://mcp.file2markdown.ai/mcp" } } }

Tiers

Conversions	5/day per network IP	Unlimited
Max download	25MB	100MB
Scanned-PDF OCR	—	Yes
Image OCR	—	Yes

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.
