NewNow with a knowledge graph, Q&A & MCP

Your AI keeps forgetting. Give it lasting memory.

Your repo docs are the easy part — your agent already reads those. LLMtoMD is for the rest: the PDFs, scanned specs, Office files, and Notion exports it can't read locally — turned into a knowledge base your agents search over MCP, across hundreds of files and across Cursor, VS Code, and Claude.

The memory layer for AI development

Your AI writes great code — then forgets the plan

AI coding tools are brilliant at generating code, but they lose context as a project grows: requirements, architectural decisions, business rules, and past conversations slip out of the window. LLMtoMD turns your PRDs, FRDs, API docs, meeting notes, designs, and websites into structured, AI-ready Markdown your agents can search and reuse across the whole development lifecycle.

  • Stop re-explaining the same project context every session
  • Keep generated features consistent with the spec
  • One searchable source of truth for the entire build

Without a memory layer

“As we discussed, the auth flow should… wait, what did we decide about refresh tokens?” — context lost, the agent guesses, and you paste the spec again.

With LLMtoMD

The agent queries your FRD and decision log directly, pulls the exact requirement, and implements it — no re-explaining, no drift from the spec.

Scope guard

You asked it to fix one function. It rewrote half the file.

AI coding agents drift. git diff shows what changed — not what the agent was allowed to change. Scope guard records the approved boundary before it edits, then flags anything it touched outside that boundary, checked against your stored spec. You approve the extra changes or revert — nothing is auto-deleted.

  • Record the files an agent may touch — by file, folder, or glob — right from the agent.
  • Catch out-of-scope edits before they land, with an AI verdict on whether your spec justifies them.
  • Block the commit locally with a pre-commit hook — only file paths leave your machine, never your code.

Why LLMtoMD

More than a converter — a data layer for AI

Token-efficient output

Clean headings, tables, and lists instead of raw text dumps — up to ~70% fewer tokens than pasting a PDF, so prompts stay lean.

AI Vision for scans

Scanned PDFs, photos, and handwritten notes are read by a vision model, not just OCR — the documents other tools give up on.

Semantic search

Every document is chunked and embedded automatically, so you can search your library by meaning, not just keywords.

Document Q&A

Ask a question and get a cited answer drawn from your own documents — retrieval-augmented out of the box.

Structured extraction

Define reusable field schemas (invoice number, total, parties…) and pull structured data from any document or batch.

Knowledge graph

Entities are linked across your whole corpus into a queryable graph — see how documents and concepts connect.

Why not just PDF-to-text?

More than a converter

Naive converters flatten your documents into a wall of text. LLMtoMD keeps the structure your AI actually needs.

Lower AI costs

Stop paying to repeat yourself

Context repetition is a hidden tax on AI-assisted development. Every time you re-paste the same requirements, architecture, and API specs into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, or your VS Code agent, you pay for it in tokens.

  • Store project knowledge once — not in every prompt
  • Agents retrieve only the relevant sections, on demand
  • No more re-uploading 50-page specs
  • Less context-window waste, fewer repeated tokens
  • Lower debugging and troubleshooting costs

Cheaper debugging: agents pull error logs, API references, and prior implementation details from your knowledge base instead of you resubmitting them every cycle.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does LLMtoMD do?+

It converts documents of almost any type — PDFs, Office files, images, audio, and web pages — into clean, structured Markdown that's optimized for large language models, RAG pipelines, and AI agents.

How do I give my AI coding agent my project's context?+

Convert your specs, docs, and notes into AI-ready Markdown with LLMtoMD, then connect it to your agent over MCP. Your agent — Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code — retrieves the exact relevant context on demand instead of you re-pasting it or hoping the model still remembers it mid-build.

How do I convert a PDF or website to Markdown for an LLM?+

Paste a URL or upload a PDF, DOCX, or PPTX and LLMtoMD returns clean, structured Markdown optimized for LLMs — preserving headings, tables, and lists, and reading scanned pages with AI Vision. Use it in the dashboard, via the REST API, or directly from your AI agent over MCP.

What is an MCP server, and how does LLMtoMD use it?+

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI coding tools connect to external data and tools. LLMtoMD runs an MCP server, so your agent can search your documents, ask questions, and pull clean Markdown directly. It's one line to connect in Claude Code, or one click for Cursor and VS Code.

Isn't it easier to just put all my context in one file in the project root?+

That works until it doesn't: a single context file is loaded in full every time — burning tokens on mostly-irrelevant text — goes stale, and doesn't scale past a few notes. LLMtoMD keeps a searchable knowledge base and serves your agent only the passages it needs over MCP, so your context stays fresh, relevant, and cheap.

How is this different from a plain PDF-to-text tool?+

Beyond conversion, LLMtoMD preserves structure (headings, tables, lists), reads scans with AI Vision, and adds an AI layer: semantic search, document Q&A, structured field extraction, a cross-document knowledge graph, and RAG-ready exports.

Do you store my files?+

Source files are processed to produce your Markdown and then auto-deleted within 24 hours. We never sell your data or use your documents to train third-party models. See our Privacy Policy for details.

How does LLMtoMD help my AI coding tools?+

It acts as a persistent memory layer. Upload your PRDs, FRDs, API docs, and decisions once, and your coding agents — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and others — retrieve the exact context they need via the MCP server, so they stop forgetting requirements and drifting from the spec as a project grows.

Will this reduce my AI token costs?+

Yes. Instead of re-pasting the same requirements, architecture, and specs into every prompt, agents retrieve only the relevant sections on demand. Storing context once — rather than re-sending a 50-page document repeatedly — cuts wasted tokens during both development and debugging.

Is there an API?+

Yes. Every capability is available through a documented REST API with API keys, plus an MCP server so assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can convert and retrieve documents directly.

What are credits?+

Standard conversions run against your monthly plan allowance. Credits meter premium AI operations — AI Vision, audio transcription, and semantic analysis — so you only pay for the heavy lifting when you use it.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. Paid plans are month-to-month (or annual) and you can cancel at any time from your billing settings. See our Refund Policy for details.

LLMtoMD is the persistent memory and knowledge layer for AI-powered software development — helping vibe coders, founders, and engineering teams build faster, hold context, and cut AI token costs across the entire development lifecycle.
