Content Creation & Writing

MarkItDown

Converts documents to Markdown with Microsoft MarkItDown (Python API, markitdown CLI, markitdown-ocr plugin, markitdown-mcp server), covering PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, CSV, EPUB, ZIP, and streams, plus Azure extraction. Use when preparing papers or reports for LLM/RAG ingestion; when batch-converting a literature folder to Markdown with provenance; when converting uploaded bytes or file streams; when OCR of scanned PDFs or image text is needed; when exposing conversion to a local agent through MCP. Do not use for bounding boxes or page coordinates (use LiteParse) or PDF merge/split/forms (use the pdf skill).
