Document conversion inside Claude Code
Run MarkPrep's local MCP server and Claude Code converts documents itself, on your machine — nothing leaves your device.
The conversion step shouldn't be a detour. With MarkPrep's local MCP server (Pro), Claude Code converts PDFs, Word docs and spreadsheets to Markdown directly on your machine — no upload, no copy-paste. Use the browser converter here for one-offs, and the MCP server for the workflow. Either way, your files stay local.
