MCP-MD-PDF: Markdown to Word/PDF Converter

MCP-MD-PDF: Markdown to Word/PDF Converter is an MCP server that converts local Markdown files into formatted Word (.docx) and PDF documents with support for custom Word (.dotx) templates. Built for developers, technical writers, and consultants who draft notes and technical documentation in Markdown, the server bridges the gap between plain text source files and formal client-ready deliverables. It allows connected AI clients to automate the conversion flow directly through tool calls, outputting docx, pdf, or both formats simultaneously while preserving visual elements such as headings, code blocks, blockquotes, tables, and nested lists. By applying custom dotx templates, users maintain consistent company branding, custom fonts, color schemes, and page margins without repetitive manual editing. DOCX generation works natively without external dependencies, while PDF export leverages LibreOffice or Microsoft Word via COM automation to retain exact layouts, borders, and visual styles.
