AI Answer Copier — Markdown MCP Server

Turn AI output into any document format. Instantly.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives your AI assistant 33 powerful tools — convert Markdown to 23+ document formats (PDF, DOCX, HTML, LaTeX, CSV, JSON, XML, XLSX, RTF, PNG, Email HTML…), 10 platform-native formats (Slack, Discord, JIRA, Confluence, AsciiDoc, RST, MediaWiki, BBCode, Textile, Org Mode), plus HTML import, markdown repair & lint, and document analysis. Stop copy-pasting. Let the AI do the exporting.

Why AI Answer Copier?

You asked an AI to generate 20 exam questions. It delivered — beautifully. But then reality hits:

| Pain Point | Manual Workflow | With AI Answer Copier | |---|---|---| | Extracting Q&A | 10–15 min copying each line | 2 seconds (auto-detect) | | Formatting Math | 20 min fixing broken symbols | Instant (KaTeX support) | | LMS Upload | 15 min manual CSV entry | 1-click export | | Total Prep Time | ~45–60 minutes | < 1 minute |

The last mile of AI workflows is broken. Generating content takes seconds; formatting it for the real world takes an hour. This MCP server eliminates that gap entirely.

33 MCP Tools at Your AI's Fingertips

Document Conversion (15 tools)

| Tool | Output Format | Use Case | |---|---|---| | harmonize_markdown | Clean .md | Standardize messy AI output | | convert_to_txt | Plain .txt | Strip all formatting | | convert_to_html | .html | Web pages, email templates | | generate_html | Full HTML doc | Self-contained pages with inline styles | | convert_to_email_html | Email .html | Outlook/Gmail/Apple Mail compatible | | convert_to_pdf | .pdf | Print-ready exams, handouts | | convert_to_docx | .docx | Microsoft Word documents | | convert_to_latex | .tex | Academic papers, journals | | convert_to_rtf | .rtf | Rich text for legacy systems | | convert_to_csv | .csv | Kahoot, Quizizz, Google Forms | | convert_to_json | .json | APIs, Canvas LMS, custom apps | | convert_to_xml | .xml | Moodle, Blackboard, SCORM | | convert_to_xlsx | .xlsx | Excel spreadsheets | | convert_to_image | .png | Social media, presentations | | convert_to_md | .md | Documentation, GitHub |

Platform Converters (10 tools)

| Tool | Target | Use Case | |---|---|---| | convert_to_slack | Slack | mrkdwn format for Slack messages | | convert_to_discord | Discord | Styled markdown for Discord | | convert_to_jira | JIRA | Wiki markup for Atlassian JIRA | | convert_to_confluence | Confluence | Wiki markup with panels & macros | | convert_to_asciidoc | AsciiDoc | Technical documentation format | | convert_to_rst | reStructuredText | Sphinx / Read the Docs | | convert_to_mediawiki | MediaWiki | Wikipedia-style markup | | convert_to_bbcode | BBCode | phpBB / vBulletin forums | | convert_to_textile | Textile | Redmine, Basecamp | | convert_to_orgmode | Emacs Org Mode | Org-style headers & source blocks |

Import, Repair & Analysis (8 tools)

| Tool | Description | |---|---| | html_to_markdown | Convert HTML back to Markdown | | repair_markdown | Auto-fix broken Markdown syntax | | lint_markdown | Check Markdown for style & syntax issues | | extract_code_blocks | Pull out all fenced code blocks | | extract_links | Extract all URLs and link text | | generate_toc | Generate a table of contents | | analyze_document | Word count, reading time, structure stats | | extract_structure | Extract document heading hierarchy |

Every tool accepts a markdown string input and an optional output_path to save directly to disk. Binary formats (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PNG) intelligently guide the AI to save files rather than dumping raw base64.

Quick Start

Install via npx (Recommended)

No installation needed — just configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-answer-copier": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@xjtlumedia/markdown-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Install Globally

npm install -g @xjtlumedia/markdown-mcp-server

Then configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-answer-copier": {
      "command": "markdown-mcp-server"
    }
  }
}

Configuration by AI Client

Claude Desktop

Edit %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-answer-copier": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@xjtlumedia/markdown-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see a 🔌 icon — all 33 tools are now available to Claude.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add to your .vscode/mcp.json or VS Code settings:

{
  "servers": {
    "ai-answer-copier": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@xjtlumedia/markdown-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf / Any MCP Client

Use the same npx command pattern above in your client's MCP configuration.

HTTP Mode (Vercel)

A hosted HTTP endpoint is also available for browser-based and remote integrations:

https://ai-answer-copier.vercel.app/api/mcp

Test it with the MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector https://ai-answer-copier.vercel.app/api/mcp

Usage Examples

Once connected, just talk to your AI naturally:

"Generate 10 physics questions about Newton's Laws and export them as a Kahoot CSV."

The AI will use convert_to_csv automatically.

"Convert this markdown into a Word document and save it to my Desktop."

The AI calls convert_to_docx with output_path: "C:/Users/you/Desktop/questions.docx".

"Take these lecture notes and produce a print-ready PDF."

The AI calls convert_to_pdf with Puppeteer-powered rendering, full KaTeX math support, and syntax highlighting.

"Turn this into a Moodle-compatible XML quiz bank."

The AI calls convert_to_xml with structured question/answer extraction.

Features

Math & Code as First-Class Citizens

Full support for LaTeX math expressions and syntax-highlighted code blocks. Your $\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$ and Python snippets survive every conversion perfectly.

Smart Binary Handling

Binary formats (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PNG) don't dump raw base64 into chat. Instead, the server returns actionable guidance so the AI knows to save to a file path — a much better UX.

GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown)

Tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks — all parsed correctly via remark-gfm.

Puppeteer-Powered PDF & PNG

PDF and image exports use headless Chromium for pixel-perfect rendering with:

Full CSS styling
KaTeX math rendering
Syntax-highlighted code blocks
Print-optimized layouts

Self-Contained

Zero runtime dependencies on external APIs. Everything runs locally on your machine. Your data never leaves your computer.
