shuck-convert
This server gives Claude two document conversion tools: doc_to_markdown pulls text, formatting, tables, and images from DOCX or PDF files into Markdown, while markdown_to_docx goes the other direction with opinionated academic styling (Times New Roman, SimSun, three-line tables). It's built on Pandoc for the Markdown to DOCX direction, so you'll need that installed. Reach for this when you want Claude to extract content from uploaded documents for analysis or rewriting, or when you need to generate formatted Word documents from Markdown that Claude produces. Also ships as a standalone CLI if you want to use it outside the MCP context.
