Why it got a D
Handy converter, but it passes model-supplied paths and URLs to helper programs (markitdown, repomix) and has had no maintainer activity since May 2026. Biggest deduction: three published vulnerabilities still affect the latest version (CVE-2025-65512 SSRF, CVE-2026-14699 file-sandbox bypass, CVE-2026-14702 temp-file), and the sandbox fix has sat unmerged since May. Don't use it with untrusted input.
How to connect
npx -y mcp-markdownify-serverIs markdownify-mcp safe?
Is markdownify-mcp safe to use?
markdownify-mcp grades D (notable weaknesses - review closely). There is no login: anything that can start or reach it gets its full access. Updates are rare or unknown, so fixes may be slow to arrive. It has 3 open CVES. Check the advisories before you install. It can run model-controlled code or uses a plaintext remote connection, so run it isolated with no credentials.
Does markdownify-mcp have known vulnerabilities?
Yes, 3 open CVES in our data. The listing above explains what they affect and what to run instead.
Does markdownify-mcp support authentication?
No. It has no login of its own, so limit who and what can start it.

Promising, a bit raw
It does the job, but it took some tweaking. The past CVEs put me off at first. The fixed releases have been fine, just keep it updated. There is no auth layer, so whatever can reach it can use it. I keep it local only. I would use it in prod, but only with a human approving writes.

OK for read-only work
Took longer to configure than I expected. Local stdio process, easy to start and stop from the client. Nothing stops a misbehaving agent from using every tool it exposes, so I trimmed the tool list. Check the advisories on the listing before installing an older version from a tutorial. Keeping it to local experiments for now.

Went back to calling the API directly
Ran into problems pretty quickly. Make sure you are on a patched version, there have been advisories against it. No access control at all, it runs with my permissions. Fine on my laptop, not on a shared box. I will check back in a few releases.

Handy for dev, careful in prod
I like it, with reservations. Make sure you are on a patched version, there have been advisories against it. Maintenance has gone quiet, so I would not build anything critical on it. Runs locally over stdio, so startup is instant and nothing leaves my machine unless a tool calls out.

Exactly what I needed from markdownify-
Been running this for about a month now. Open issues pile up without replies. Works today, but I am watching for a fork. Nothing stops a misbehaving agent from using every tool it exposes, so I trimmed the tool list. Recommended, with sensible guardrails.
