markitdown

markitdown is an MCP server for Claude Code from RashadAnsari/myagents. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A document-conversion service that lets an agent work with files in Markdown, a plain-text format used for readable documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Converting documents into Markdown for downstream coding or documentation tasks.
Why use it?
It removes the need to convert supported documents manually before an agent can read or process them.

MCP server for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: listed in a Claude config.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the albino plugin — 8 skills, 10 commands, 14 agents, 3 MCP servers shipped together

One of 3 entries in .mcp.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 2 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Converting documents into Markdown for downstream coding or documentation tasks.

Security

Grade A, and why

markitdown 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 11d 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.

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.
