# Markdownify MCP Server > Help! I need someone with a Windows computer to help me add support for Markdownify-MCP on Windows. PRs exist but I cannot test them. Post [here](https://github.com/zcaceres/markdownify-mcp/issues/18) if interested.  Markdownify is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that converts various file types and web content to Markdown format. It provides a set of tools to transform PDFs, images, audio files, web pages, and more into easily readable and shareable Markdown text. <a href="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/bn5q4b0ett"><img width="380" height="200" src="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/bn5q4b0ett/badge" alt="Markdownify Server MCP server" /></a> ## Features - Convert multiple file types to Markdown: - PDF - Images - Audio (with transcription) - DOCX - XLSX - PPTX - Convert web content to Markdown: - YouTube video transcripts - Bing search results - General web pages - Retrieve existing Markdown files ## Getting Started 1.
