PDF to Markdown MCP MCP server

An official MCP server provided by dudko.dev that allows AI assistants to convert PDF documents into Markdown format. It leverages the pdf2md API, handling options like profile fidelity and image placeholders, while ensuring files do not pass through the assistant itself, using short-lived credentials for secure access.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http pdf-to-markdown-mcp-dudko https://pdf2md.dudko.dev/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add pdf-to-markdown-mcp-dudko --url https://pdf2md.dudko.dev/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable pdf-to-markdown-mcp-dudko in your MCP settings.
