description: Convert files to Markdown using MCP tool
---

When the user provides a file in a non-text format that needs to be read or converted to Markdown:

1. **Supported formats:** `.pdf`, `.docx`, `.xlsx`, `.pptx`, `.html`, `.epub`, `.xml`

2. **Use the `convert_to_markdown` MCP tool** with the file path. The path can be:
   - Absolute: `/Users/name/file.pdf`
   - With `~`: `~/Downloads/file.docx`
   - Relative: `./file.xlsx`

3. **Save the result** as `.md` file next to the original:
   - `~/Documents/doc.pdf` → `~/Documents/doc.md`
   - `~/Downloads/report.xlsx` → `~/Downloads/report.md`

4. **Return the path** to the saved `.md` file to the user.
