Changes things 3Claude Code: ask
  • convert_base64Convert base64-encoded file contents to Markdown.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "convert_base64" says "convert": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Convert base64-encoded file contents to Markdown. filename is required and drives format detection (e.g. "report.docx"). Intended for programmatic MCP clients; for anything with a URL, prefer convert_url. quality_check: "basic" (default) attaches local output-health checks in the `quality` field; "ai" additionally sends selected excerpts of the converted text to TypeSafe for narrow yes/no judgments. See convert_url.
  • convert_batchConvert 2-10 documents to Markdown in one call (Pro API key required).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "convert_batch" says "convert": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Convert 2-10 documents to Markdown in one call (Pro API key required). Each item is either {"url": ..., "filename_hint"?: ...} or {"content_base64": ..., "filename": ...}; types may be mixed. Items are converted in parallel and isolated: one bad URL or file never fails the batch — its slot returns ok:false with the error. The combined markdown shares one output budget, split evenly across items (per-item `truncated` flags apply). Set include_markdown=false to get only metadata + quality per item (health-check a folder without flooding your context). Anonymous callers: use convert_url / convert_base64 individually.
  • convert_urlFetch a URL (web page, PDF, Office doc, and more) and convert it to Markdown.Can send data outNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "convert_url" says "convert": a word for a change.

    What it can reach

    • outboundThe input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch a URL (web page, PDF, Office doc, and more) and convert it to Markdown. Works on publicly accessible URLs. Web pages are converted from their served HTML; JavaScript-rendered content may be incomplete. Optional filename_hint (e.g. "report.pdf") helps format detection when the URL has no file extension. The result carries a `quality` object (output-health check of the returned Markdown: status review / no_issues_detected / not_evaluated, coverage and a list of issues with line locations). quality_check="basic" (default) runs only local deterministic checks. quality_check="ai" additionally sends selected excerpts of the CONVERTED text to TypeSafe for narrow yes/no judgments (garbled text, hard-wrapped prose, broken tables); it is off unless requested. No check compares against the source document.
Only reads 2Claude Code: allow
  • list_supported_formatsList supported input formats, per-tier limits, and which features need Pro.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_supported_formats" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List supported input formats, per-tier limits, and which features need Pro. Single source of truth — do not claim capabilities beyond what this returns.
  • usage_statusCheck your tier and remaining conversions before burning a call.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "usage_status" says "status": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Check your tier and remaining conversions before burning a call.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input.

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write0
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out1
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

  • WarnThe whole server

    The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 3 tools that change things (3 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

    Matched text

    https://mcp.file2markdown.ai/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including convert_url (write), convert_base64 (write), convert_batch (write)

    What this check looks for

Install

Pinned to version 1.1.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http file2markdown https://mcp.file2markdown.ai/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__file2markdown__list_supported_formats",
      "mcp__file2markdown__usage_status"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__file2markdown__convert_url",
      "mcp__file2markdown__convert_base64",
      "mcp__file2markdown__convert_batch"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as file2markdown. Review it before you use it.
