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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00147 | $0.01070 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00073 | $0.00535 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00214 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
convert-to-markdown 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 12d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Document to Markdown Conversion
Convert documents to Markdown using the mineru-converter MCP tools. Supports URLs and local file paths. The server auto-detects file type and configures optimal settings (model, OCR, etc.).
MCP Tools Reference
Primary tool — use this by default
convert_to_markdown— Complete workflow: submit → poll → download. Parameters:url(required): URL or local file pathoutput_path(required): local path to save the result zip (e.g.,./temp/report.zip)model_version(optional, default"vlm"): auto-detected;"MinerU-HTML"for HTML filesmax_wait_seconds(optional, default300): increase for large documents (e.g.,600for 100+ page PDFs)poll_interval(optional, default10)convert_pdf_to_markdownis an identical alias
Step-by-step tools — use when finer control is needed
-
create_parse_task— Submit a parsing task. Extra parameters:is_ocr(defaultfalse): force OCR on; auto-enabled for imagesenable_formula(defaulttrue): formula recognitionenable_table(defaulttrue): table recognition- Returns
task_id(URL input) orbatch_id(local file input)
-
get_task_status— Poll task progress. Passtask_idorbatch_id. -
download_result— Download the result zip. Parameters:zip_url,output_path.
Use step-by-step tools when the user needs to: disable formula/table recognition, force OCR, submit multiple tasks in parallel, or check a previously submitted task.
Workflow
1. Determine output path
- If the user provided an output path, use it (ensure it ends in
.zip). - Otherwise, derive from the filename:
./temp/<filename_without_ext>.zip- URL example:
https://example.com/report.pdf→./temp/report.zip - Local example:
C:\docs\slides.pptx→./temp/slides.zip
- URL example:
2. Call convert_to_markdown
Pass url (the URL or local file path as-is) and output_path. The server handles:
- Local file upload via batch API automatically
- HTML →
MinerU-HTMLmodel, images → OCR enabled - Large PDFs: >600 pages uses page ranges; >200MB splits the file into chunks
- Polling until completion or timeout
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.

convert-to-markdown is a skill published in the GitHub repository AvatarGanymede/MinerU-MCP (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 147 tokens to every session and 1,070 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
