MCP server for AgentMD — convert PDF, DOCX, HTML, and URLs into clean, LLM-ready markdown, with tables preserved and web-page boilerplate stripped.

Agents ingest documents constantly, and most document formats are hostile to language models. This gives your agent three tools that turn any of them into markdown it can actually read.

Install

Get a free API key (50 conversions, no card) at https://www.getagentmd.com — or fully programmatically:

curl -X POST https://www.getagentmd.com/api/v1/keys/free \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"email": "you@example.com"}'

Then:

Claude Code

claude mcp add agentmd --env AGENTMD_API_KEY=<your-key> -- npx -y agentmd-mcp

Any MCP client (mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentmd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentmd-mcp"],
      "env": { "AGENTMD_API_KEY": "<your-key>" }
    }
  }
}

Docker

docker build -t agentmd-mcp .
docker run -i --rm -e AGENTMD_API_KEY=<your-key> agentmd-mcp

The image runs the stdio server, so pass -i; the API key is supplied at run time with -e rather than baked into the image. To wire the container into an MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentmd": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "AGENTMD_API_KEY", "agentmd-mcp"],
      "env": { "AGENTMD_API_KEY": "<your-key>" }
    }
  }
}

Remote (no install) — the hosted server speaks streamable HTTP directly:

claude mcp add --transport http agentmd https://www.getagentmd.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-key>"

Tools

Tool	Use it for
`convert_url_to_markdown`	A web page or a document at an http(s) URL
`convert_file_to_markdown`	A document on the local filesystem, by path
`convert_document_to_markdown`	Document bytes you already hold, as base64

All three return markdown, prefixed with the detected title and any warnings.

Supported formats

PDF — text extraction (scanned/image-only PDFs return a warning; OCR is on the roadmap)
DOCX — headings, lists, and tables preserved
HTML / URLs — main-article extraction, GFM tables, links resolved to absolute URLs
Markdown / plain text — normalized passthrough

Limit: 25 MB per document.

Configuration

Variable	Required	Purpose
`AGENTMD_API_KEY`	yes	Your API key
`AGENTMD_BASE_URL`	no	Point at a different deployment (self-hosting, staging)

Pricing

First 50 conversions free (per email, no card). After that, $0.002 per successful conversion, billed monthly. No per-seat licensing — you pay for calls your agents actually make.
