PDF To Markdown

PDF to Markdown – hosted MCP

A hosted MCP server that turns PDFs into clean, LLM-ready Markdown, so AI agents can convert documents as a built-in tool. Output keeps real Markdown tables, formulas as LaTeX, and OCR for scanned pages, with reading order intact. It runs its own document engines (open-source MinerU and Docling), not an LLM wrapper.

Connect

JSON-RPC 2.0 over Streamable HTTP, with a Bearer API key (a free Google account generates one).

Notes

• Same engine as the web app, Chrome extension, REST API and a ChatGPT Custom GPT.
• Free to start; files auto-delete after a short retention window and are never used to train models.
