Why MCP users care
AI agents often need clean Markdown before indexing, retrieval, summarization, or tool execution. MarkItDown-style conversion is a practical preprocessing step.

Explain the MCP use case while keeping full MCP server implementation deferred.
v1 converter path
Upload -> Convert -> Preview -> Copy -> Download
Supported: PDF, Office, HTML, CSV, JSON, XML, TXT, MD
Limit: one local file, up to 10 MB
Deferred: OCR, batch mode, API keys, full MCP server
v1 approach
The first version ships the web converter and SEO page. A full MCP server remains out of scope until usage data proves demand.
Developer path
Use the converter to test file-to-Markdown behavior first. If users ask for agent integration, MCP can become a v2 track.
Trust and safety
This site is not affiliated with Microsoft. MarkItDown is an open-source project associated with Microsoft; this website is an independent tool-site experiment. v1 uses temporary file conversion and does not store files permanently.
FAQ
Does v1 include a full MCP server?
No. The PRD explicitly defers full MCP server work.
Can this still help agent workflows?
Yes. The output is Markdown that can be copied into agent, RAG, and knowledge-base pipelines.
