mcp-document-markdown: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mcp-document-markdown CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from wadearnold/mcp-document-markdown. It costs 847 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of instructions for an MCP server that converts PDF and DOCX files into structured content for AI agents. MCP is a standard way for an AI agent to use external tools and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing PDF and Word documents for agent-based reading, searching, summarizing, and reference.
Why use it?
It makes document structure, tables, terminology, and cross-references easier for an agent to analyze while organizing content into manageable sections.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is wadearnold/mcp-document-markdown's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-document-markdown itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-document-markdown configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-document-markdown CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

MCP Document Markdown - Claude Agent Instructions

Core Purpose

This MCP server exists solely to convert human-readable structured data formats (PDF, DOCX) into AI agent consumable content. The conversion process transforms complex documents into organized, navigable reference material that enables better agent reasoning about the original content.

Critical Understanding

The output is NEVER intended for human consumption. All generated content is designed exclusively for AI agents to process, analyze, and reference. YOU, Claude, are the primary user of this converted content.

Key Benefits for Agent Reasoning

Document Structure Preservation

  • Hierarchical section organization with clear navigation paths
  • Cross-reference mapping for understanding document relationships
  • Table extraction in both markdown and JSON formats for structured analysis
  • Terminology extraction and concept mapping for domain understanding

Context Window Optimization

  • Smart chunking into multiple token sizes (3.5K, 8K, 32K, 100K)
  • Section-based organization preventing context overflow
  • Structured summaries at multiple levels (executive, technical, detailed)
  • Precise file organization for targeted content retrieval

Enhanced Reasoning Capabilities

  • Clean, structured markdown format eliminates extraction noise
  • Preserved semantic relationships between document sections
  • Extracted domain terminology with definitions for accurate understanding
  • Table data available in JSON format for computational analysis

Output Distinction - Critical Understanding

MCP Server Responses (Human-Readable)

The MCP server response messages are read by humans using MCP clients and should be:

  • Informative with emojis and formatting for readability
  • Include processing statistics and success/error messages
  • Provide clear file navigation guidance
  • Explain what was accomplished during conversion

Converted Content Files (Agent-Only)

The actual converted content in output directories is exclusively for AI agents and should be:

  • Clean, structured markdown without decorative elements
  • No emojis or human-oriented formatting
  • No training prompts or setup instructions
  • Pure content with precise navigation structure
  • Machine-readable data formats (JSON for tables, metadata)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
