Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

convert

convert_file

Convert one file to Markdown, locally on LlmFiles (nothing is kept). Pass the file contents base64-encoded together with its name: the extension picks the converter, so `report.docx` and `report.pdf` take different paths. HTML pages are stripped of navigation, sidebars and ¶ permalinks by default. Returns the Markdown as text; documents without a text layer (scanned PDF, binary junk) come back as an error with the reason, and no quota is charged.

formats

list_formats

Every extension LlmFiles accepts and what it becomes in Markdown. Call it when unsure whether a format is supported before asking a user for a file.

pdf

check_pdf

Per-page verdict for a PDF: text, scan (a picture with no text), empty, encrypted or broken, plus the exact command to fix it (ocrmypdf --skip-text for a mixed file, --redo-ocr for a full scan, qpdf --decrypt for a password). Use it when a PDF conversion returned no text. Free — this check does not use the quota.

LlmFiles — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can LlmFiles do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_pdf, convert_file, list_formats. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is LlmFiles working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 28 of 72 checks got a reply (38.9%), average response time 464 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect LlmFiles?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does LlmFiles need an API key?

No. LlmFiles completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is LlmFiles?

It answers our handshake in 464 ms on average, which is faster than 27% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
