### Description (declared)

# omnidesk-mcp

An MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor and other agents convert files through
[OmniDesk](https://omnidesk.win) — 325 formats, routed through intermediate
formats when no direct converter exists.

## Setup

You need an OmniDesk API key (Team plan). Create one at
**app.omnidesk.win → Control panel → API keys**.

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop: `claude_desktop_config.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnidesk": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["omnidesk-mcp"],
      "env": { "OMNIDESK_API_KEY": "od_..." }
    }
  }
}
```

## Tools

| tool | what it does |
|---|---|
| `convert_file` | convert a local file to another format; returns the result path |
| `list_formats` | the 325 supported formats by category |
| `find_route` | how a conversion would be routed, and alternatives |
| `file_action` | one of 33 file actions: extract tables, redact, OCR, trim, … |
| `list_actions` | the actions and their options |

Files are uploaded to your **personal** drive (not the shared company drive),
converted there, and the result is downloaded back to a path you choose.
Nothing is kept on the client beyond that.

## Safety

Tool arguments are chosen by the agent, and an agent can be steered by text it
reads (a web page, an email, a document). The server therefore:

- only uploads regular files (not directories, devices or pipes);
- never replaces an existing output file unless the tool call passes
  `overwrite: true`;
- uploads to your personal drive, so a stray upload is not visible to teammates.

To confine the server to specific folders, set `OMNIDESK_MCP_ROOTS` to one or
more directories, separated by `:` on macOS/Linux or `;` on Windows
(`os.pathsep`). Input and output paths are resolved (symlinks included) and
must lie inside one of them; anything else is refused. Unset means no folder
restriction.

```json
"env": {
  "OMNIDESK_API_KEY": "od_...",
  "OMNIDESK_MCP_ROOTS": "/Users/me/Documents/convert:/Users/me/Downloads"
}
```
