Doc Reading and Converter

A server for reading and converting documents between PDF, DOCX, and Markdown formats using marker-pdf and pandoc.

The goal is to have a tool that can read and edit files, using Cursor or Claude Desktop.

ThefilesystemMCP already allows reading, writing and editing documents, but is limited in that it cannot:

- Read pdfs or docx files
- Reads the full document, which can cause context overflow

- A freshdoc-reading-mcpmcp service allowing for document conversions between pdf, docx and markdown.

- PDF to Markdown conversion using marker-pdf
- DOCX to Markdown conversion using pandoc
- Markdown to DOCX conversion using pandoc
- Markdown to PDF conversion using pandoc

- Python 3.10 or higher
- [pandoc] (https://pandoc.org/installing.html) installed on your system
- [uv] (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for Python package management

uv add git+https://github.com/mffrydman/doc-reading-mcp.git

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx run -m doc_reading_mcp

{ "mcpServers": { "doc-reading-mcp": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "doc-reading-mcp", ] } } }

Run in Cursor/Windsurf/Claude using the following configuration:

"doc-reading-mcp": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/absolute/path/to/mffrydman/doc-reading-mcp", "run", "-m", "doc_reading_mcp" ] }

- /absolute/path/to/with the actual path on your system.
