MarkItDown MCP
MarkItDown-MCP is a lightweight MCP (Model Context Protocol) server provided as the markitdown-mcp package. It exposes a STDIO, Streamable HTTP, and SSE MCP server designed for calling MarkItDown to convert content to Markdown. The package focuses on simplicity and accessibility, enabling you to run the MCP server locally via a simple CLI, or in Docker for containerized workflows, with integration options for Claude Desktop. The core capability is exposed through a single tool, convert_to_markdown(uri), which accepts a URI in http:, https:, file:, or data: schemes to fetch content and convert it to Markdown. This MCP server is easy to install with pip and can be used in various transport modes, including STDIO and HTTP/SSE, making it a flexible choice for automations and integrations.
WayStation MCP server

The server also exposes preauthenticated endpoints (for example, https://waystation.ai/mcp/Iddq66dIdkfARDNb3K) that any registered user can obtain from their dashboard at https://waystation.ai/dashboard. Through the Integrations Marketplace, users can discover and connect to Notion, Monday, Airtable, Jira, and many other providers with OAuth2-based authentication flows, enabling seamless workflows without writing code.
