Fast

Native Rust converts in parallel, page by page. The 15-page Attention Is All You Need paper takes 0.08 s; MarkItDown needs 2.2 s.

Accurate layout

Words rebuilt from glyph gaps, two-column papers in reading order, tables recovered, including borderless ones. No glued words, no scrambled columns.

Token-lean

Markdown with page anchors, a small front-matter header, and compact tables. A token budget and a cursor keep big documents inside your context.

Every format

One read call handles PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, CSV, EPUB, HTML and URLs, images, audio, and video.

Search everything

Search files, whole folders, and URLs at once. Exact phrases first, BM25-ranked passages when nothing matches exactly.

Local & private

Nothing is uploaded and no API key is needed. OCR and transcripts use local tools you already have, only when they are installed.

Formerly pdf-reader-mcp / Citra. @sylphx/pdf-reader-mcp and @sylphx/citra still install and run anymd. See Migration.

Real terminal session: anymd converts a PDF, searches a folder, reads a spreadsheet, and Claude Code answers through the anymd MCP server

Quick start

bash

claude mcp add anymd -- npx -y @sylphx/anymd   # add it to your agent
npx -y @sylphx/anymd report.pdf > report.md     # or convert from the shell
npx -y @sylphx/anymd search "indemnification" contracts/

Other clients (Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and more) are in Getting started.
