Getting Started

Clone this repository
Install dependencies:
```
bun install
```
The preinstall step creates a Python virtual environment at .venv and installs markitdown[all].
Build the project:
```
bun run build
```
Start the server:
```
bun start
```

Development

Use bun run dev to start the TypeScript compiler in watch mode
Modify src/server.ts to customize server behavior
Add or modify tools in src/tools.ts

Usage with Desktop App

To integrate this server with a desktop app, add the following to your app's server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "markdownify": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "{ABSOLUTE PATH TO FILE HERE}/dist/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Environment variables

All paths default to sensible values; override only when the defaults don't fit your install layout.

Variable	Default	Purpose
`MARKITDOWN_PATH`	`<project>/.venv/bin/markitdown`, then `markitdown` on `PATH`	Absolute path to the `markitdown` executable. Set this when you've installed markitdown system-wide (e.g. `pipx install "markitdown[pdf]"`) instead of using the bundled venv.
`REPOMIX_PATH`	`<project>/node_modules/.bin/repomix`, then `repomix` on `PATH`	Absolute path to the `repomix` executable used by `git-repo-to-markdown`.
`MD_ALLOWED_PATHS`	unset (unrestricted)	Path-delimiter-separated list (`:` on POSIX, `;` on Windows) of directories the server is allowed to read. When set, all file-input tools (`pdf-to-markdown`, `get-markdown-file`, etc.) reject paths outside these directories.
`MD_SHARE_DIR`	unset	Deprecated alias for `MD_ALLOWED_PATHS` (single directory). Still honored for backward compatibility.
