Common questions

Is markitai safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (2.3.2) reached the registry 17 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

Markitai

Markitai converts documents, web pages and images to Markdown. A single Rust core powers the markitai command (alias mkai), a local REST service with a browser workspace, an MCP server, and in-process Node.js, Python and Go bindings. The CLI executable needs no Python, Node.js or Go runtime; language bindings need their respective language runtime.

Markitai 2.0 is the Rust rewrite of Python markitai 1.2. See the changelog and compatibility contracts.

Install

macOS and Linux:

curl -fsSL https://markitai.dev/setup.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://markitai.dev/setup.ps1 | iex"

The setup scripts download the release archive for your machine from GitHub Releases, check it against the release's SHA256SUMS, and install markitai, mkai and markitai-mcp for the current user, without administrator rights. Releases cover macOS 11+ (Apple silicon, Intel), Linux with glibc 2.28+ (x86-64, ARM64) and Windows (x64, ARM64). Python users can instead run pip install markitai or uv tool install markitai (Python 3.10+). PyPI has wheels for these six platforms only and no 1.x any more: elsewhere pip has nothing to install and leaves an installed 1.x as it is. Manual downloads, updates, uninstalling and going back to 1.x are in the installation steps.

The archives include license notices and selected Markdown guides for offline use. OCR models, Chromium and LibreOffice are optional separate components. See platform support for requirements, unsigned macOS builds for Gatekeeper, and bindings for language packages.

Quick start

markitai report.docx -o out/                  # writes out/report.docx.md

markitai ./documents -o out/ # whole folder, with a report markitai scan.png --ocr -o out/ # local OCR; models may need preparation markitai report.docx -o out/ --json # structured result for automation markitai doctor # inspect optional components markitai --help # commands, options and examples markitai serve # browser workspace on 127.0.0.1:3600

For a separate trial state, set MARKITAI_HOME before using the CLI: export MARKITAI_HOME="$PWD/.local/try-home". Plain document conversion does not need a model connection. Existing configuration still applies; use --no-llm -b native for local document processing without model enhancement. URL inputs still need the network, even with --no-remote-fetch. Local OCR uses the portable Paddle engine on every platform (macOS Vision with MARKITAI_OCR_BACKEND=vision); doctor --fix can prepare missing Paddle models before offline use. JavaScript pages need Chrome/Chromium; Office page images need LibreOffice. Model enhancement (--llm) uses configured provider credentials or a subscription runtime.
