all2md — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Parses PDF, Word, slide decks, and 40+ formats into clean Markdown for AI coding tools. Helpful when feeding documentation directly to agents.
claude mcp add all2md -- uvx all2mdWhat all2md does
The server gives coding assistants direct access to documents, ebooks, spreadsheets, and emails. It turns complex file structures into Markdown while keeping headings, code blocks, tables, and footnotes intact. Word documents retain tracked revisions and comments.
Conversion runs both ways. An agent can draft Markdown notes and export them straight to DOCX or PDF. It also handles text search across archives and chunking for retrieval pipelines. Scanned files require --pdf-ocr-enabled to trigger OCR processing.
Execution relies on the uvx runner. Because of this, you must have uv or a working Python setup on your machine beforehand. Launching the server will fail if the underlying runtime is missing.
What it helps with
- inspect structured PDF documents directly inside agent chat
- turn docx files with tables and footnotes into Markdown
- export generated Markdown responses directly into Word documents
- search inside presentation decks and spreadsheets via CLI commands
Example prompts for the agent
- Summarize key terms from
contract.pdf - Convert
specification.docxinto Markdown while keeping all tables - Save this draft into
release_notes.docx
