An MCP server that provides document format conversion
An MCP server that provides document format conversion. The huoshui mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 9 defined tools rather than through you.
A secure MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for document format conversion within a specified working directory.
The server ships on PyPI as huoshui-file-converter, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
convert_document — Convert files between formatsdetect_format — Intelligent format detectionInstallation — This server is available in the Model Context Protocol Registry. Install it using your MCP clientExamples — The Examples tool exposed by this serverTools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverResources — The Resources tool exposed by this serverPrompts — The Prompts tool exposed by this serverRequirements — The Requirements tool exposed by this serverTesting — The Testing tool exposed by this serverYou will need one environment variable: HUOSHUI_WORKING_DIR. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the file and storage access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Huoshui's toolset — convert_document, detect_format, Installation and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by huoshuiai42; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Huoshui's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
