Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

MARKOVO_API_KEY secret required env
Create a key at https://markovo.net/app#developer. Store it in the MCP host secret store; do not paste it into prompts.
MARKOVO_MCP_ROOT required env
Dedicated existing directory that bounds all MCP file reads and writes. File tools fail closed when it is missing.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

The server asks you to sign in before it lists its tools.

Common questions

Is Markovo File to Text, Word and Markdown 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?

You need to fill in: MARKOVO_API_KEY, MARKOVO_MCP_ROOT

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 7 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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Markovo CLI and MCP server

Markovo turns supported files and explicitly authorized public HTTPS pages into readable text, editable Word, or structured Markdown. For the dedicated web experience and product details, visit the PDF to Markdown Converter.

This public repository is the distribution source for the customer-side markovo CLI and the markovo-mcp stdio MCP server. It contains no local conversion engine, backend service, deployment configuration, production credentials, or billing implementation. Conversion runs through the account-metered service at https://markovo.net.

Install

pip install "markovo==0.1.2"

Or run it without a permanent installation:

uvx --from "markovo==0.1.2" markovo --help

uvx --from "markovo==0.1.2" markovo-mcp

Output formats

CLI 0.1.2+ accepts --download-format md, docx, or txt on file and URL conversions; the existing default is a verified Markdown ZIP bundle. Local stdio MCP uses the download_format argument. Hosted Remote MCP uses output_format. All formats reuse the same account and one conversion; downloading another format does not charge again. Files above 8MiB use bounded R2 upload parts instead of one full-file memory buffer. Image/document/audio limits are 25MiB on Free and 50MiB on Starter or Pro. Video limits are 200MiB/1h, 700MiB/2h and 2GiB/2h. Upgrade advice is returned only when a higher plan can accept the input; otherwise compress or split the file before retrying.

API key and Credits

Create an API key in the Developer portal.
Store it in your shell or MCP host secret store; do not paste it into prompts or commit it to source control.
Verify the setup:

export MARKOVO_API_KEY="your-key"

markovo doctor --json

CLI and local stdio MCP use a 15-Credit convenience safety ceiling when their Credit limit is omitted. REST and direct client calls still require an explicit Credit ceiling. When a key is missing, the client points to the Developer portal. When Credits are insufficient, the service response points to the billing page so the account can be topped up before retrying.

MCP configuration

Remote MCP (recommended for hosted agents)

Connect the Streamable HTTP endpoint:

https://markovo.net/mcp

The MCP host discovers Markovo's OAuth 2.1 metadata, opens the Markovo account sign-in and consent screen, and stores its own scoped token. You do not create, paste, or share an API key for this remote connection. Remote tools can inspect capabilities, Credits, and owned jobs; convert one explicitly supplied public HTTPS page with a required max_credit_units ceiling; and create or revoke short-lived result-image links. Remote MCP cannot read local files. Use the stdio package below or REST multipart upload when a local file must be converted.

Markovo never tops up Credits or changes a plan automatically. A low balance response points to https://markovo.net/app#billing and waits for the account owner to act.

Local stdio MCP

"mcpServers": { "markovo": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["--from", "markovo==0.1.2", "markovo-mcp"], "env": { "MARKOVO_API_KEY": "${MARKOVO_API_KEY}", "MARKOVO_MCP_ROOT": "/path/to/safe/project" } } } }

MCP clients should inject MARKOVO_API_KEY through their secret or environment-variable settings. The key and service origin are never MCP tool arguments, so prompts cannot redirect the credential. The public client accepts only https://markovo.net and does not follow authenticated redirects.

The MCP server can read and write only within the required MARKOVO_MCP_ROOT. Set it to the smallest dedicated project directory your MCP host needs. If it is missing, the server refuses all file tools; parent-directory and symlink escapes are rejected.

export MARKOVO_MCP_ROOT="/path/to/safe/project"

Structured errors point to the Developer portal when a key is missing and to Billing when Credits are insufficient.
