Document to Markdown

Document to Markdown

Convert PDF, images, Office docs, and more to clean Markdown using the MinerU Open API CLI. No API key needed for basic use.

Language Rule

Reply to the user in the SAME language they use. This is non-negotiable.

Core Workflow

Extraction is often just the first step. The typical flow is:

- Extract - Use mineru-open-api to convert the document to Markdown

- Read & Process - Help the user with what they actually need

MinerU outputs raw Markdown - it doesn't interpret or restructure the content. If the user asks to "extract the tables", "summarize the paper", or "find the key findings", you need to read the output and do that work yourself. MinerU handles the OCR and layout; you handle the understanding.

Use -o to save to a file when the user wants persistent output (conversion, batch processing). Skip -o and read stdout directly when the content is consumed immediately (summarization, Q&A).
