anymd

PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, EPUB, HTML and web pages, images (OCR), audio and video (metadata, subtitles, transcripts). A fast Rust MCP server and CLI that runs on your machine. No API key.

anymd is the free, local mode of the same crates that run Sylphx AI parse, the hosted document-parse service: the same crates, hosted and metered per page for callers that want no local runtime.

_{A real, unedited terminal recording (asciinema + agg, script). The last command is Claude Code answering from the PDF through the anymd MCP server.}

Why anymd

Fast. Native Rust converts in parallel, page by page. On the 38 benchmark documents, anymd takes 11.5 s in total; docling 2,432.4 s (212×), markitdown 75.6 s (7×); marker converted 30 of them in 7,104.5 s, against anymd's 4.64 s on the same 30 (1,532×).

Accurate. A layout engine rebuilds words from glyph gaps, puts two-column papers in reading order, and recovers tables, including borderless ones. The text stays exactly as printed, with no glued words and no scrambled columns.

Lean on tokens. Pages come back as Markdown with  citation anchors, a small front-matter header, and compact tables. A token budget and a cursor keep large documents within your agent's context.

Every format, one call. One tool reads every format listed below. It also accepts web URLs and whole directories, and search looks across all of them.

Local and private. Nothing is uploaded. OCR uses installed local doc-VLM models o
