MCP Server is a powerful tool that converts various file formats into Markdown descriptions using Cloudflare AI services. It provides a standardized Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface that works with multiple clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and ChatWise, enabling seamless file conversion and description generation.

To install automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @FradSer/mcp-server-to-markdown --client claude
Install globally using npm:
npm install -g mcp-server-to-markdown
{
"mcpServers": {
"to-markdown": {
"command": "mcp-server-to-markdown",
"args": [
"CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token",
"CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID": "your_account_id"
]
}
}
}
Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json
:
{
"mcpServers": {
"to-markdown": {
"command": "mcp-server-to-markdown",
"args": [
"CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token",
"CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID": "your_account_id"
]
}
}
}

CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=your_account_id
The server converts various file formats to Markdown descriptions with the following workflow:
filePaths
: Array of strings containing paths to files you want to convertThe server returns an array of objects with the following structure:
[
{
"filename": "example.pdf",
"mimeType": "application/pdf",
"description": "Generated Markdown description",
"tokens": 123
}
]
When integrated with a compatible client, you can use the tool by providing file paths:
const result = await toMarkdown({
filePaths: [
"/path/to/document.pdf",
"/path/to/image.jpg"
]
});
The server will process each file and return its Markdown representation, which can then be used within your AI assistant conversations.
To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "to-markdown" '{"command":"mcp-server-to-markdown","args":["CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token","CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=your_account_id"]}'
See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json
file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"to-markdown": {
"command": "mcp-server-to-markdown",
"args": [
"CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token",
"CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=your_account_id"
]
}
}
}
To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json
file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
