Markdown Anything

Convert files to clean, structured Markdown using the Markdown Anything API. Supports PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, images, audio, and 25+ formats.

Setup

Set your API token as an environment variable. Get one from Settings > API Tokens in your Markdown Anything workspace.

MDA_API_TOKEN=mda_your_token_here

When to Use

Use the 

mda-convert
tool when the user asks to:

  • Convert a file to Markdown
  • Extract text from a PDF, document, image, or audio file
  • Turn a document into Markdown for use in a prompt or workflow

Tools

mda-convert

Converts a file to Markdown. Run 

scripts/convert.sh
with the file path as the first argument.

Arguments:

  • $1
    — Path to the file to convert

Optional environment variables:

  • MDA_ENHANCED_AI=true
    — Use Enhanced AI for scanned documents, images, and audio (costs extra credits)
  • MDA_INCLUDE_METADATA=true
    — Include document metadata in the response
  • MDA_OPTIMIZE_TOKENS=true
    — Optimize output for LLM token efficiency

Example:

scripts/convert.sh /path/to/document.pdf

The tool outputs the converted Markdown to stdout.

mda-credits

Check your remaining credit balance. Run 

scripts/credits.sh
with no arguments.

Example:

scripts/credits.sh
