Designed for AI chat clients such as Cherry Studio: ask the model to\nconvert a file by name, and the Markdown content is returned right into the\nconversation for the model to interpret.\n\n## Tools\n\n- **convert_file_to_markdown(file, max_chars)** — convert ONE file (docx,\n  pptx, xlsx, pdf, html, csv, txt, ...) to Markdown, write a sibling\n  `\"<name>.md\"` file next to the source, and return the Markdown content\n  directly. Prefer this when the user names a specific file.\n- **convert_directory_to_markdown(directory, recursive, max_files)** — batch\n  convert EVERY supported file in a directory tree, writing sibling\n  `\"<name>.md\"` files, and return a JSON summary (converted / skipped /\n  failed).\n- **read_markdown_file(path, start_char, max_chars)** — read a generated .md\n  file back, with paging for large files.\n\nImage files (png, jpg, ...) are never converted — no image data ends up in the\nMarkdown output — and files that are already Markdown are passed through.\n\n## Default directory\n\nSet the environment variable `MARKITDOWN_DEFAULT_DIR` to a folder and the\ntools resolve bare file names against it (including a recursive exact-name\nfallback search), so users can just say `report.docx` instead of a full path.\n\n## Running\n\nstdio (what most chat clients expect):\n\n```bash\nmarkitdown-directory-mcp\n```\n\nOver the network (SSE or streamable HTTP):\n\n```bash\nmarkitdown-directory-mcp --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3001\n# endpoints: http://<host>:3001/sse   (SSE)\n#            http://<host>:3001/mcp   (streamable-http transport)\n```\n\nFor LAN access, optionally pass e.g. `--allowed-host '192.168.1.26:*'` to keep\nDNS rebinding protection enabled for that host; without it the protection is\ndisabled (with a warning) so remote Host headers are accepted.
