Getting started

Quickstart

Connect LLMtoMD to your AI coding agent and convert your first document in under five minutes.

LLMtoMD gives your AI coding agent (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT) a persistent memory: convert documents and web pages into clean Markdown, store them, and search or ask questions across them — from inside the agent, in plain English.

This guide gets you from zero to your first conversion.

1. Create your account

Sign up at llmtomd.com. New accounts include free credits, so you can try everything before paying.

2. Generate a connection key

A connection key is how your agent authenticates to your library.

  1. Open Settings → Connect to Claude in the dashboard.
  2. Click Generate connection key.
  3. Copy the key (it starts with mic_…). Treat it like a password — anyone with it can read and write your library.

3. Connect your agent

Add the LLMtoMD MCP server to your agent and paste the key. The exact steps differ per client — see Connect your agent for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and ChatGPT.

The server URL is:

https://mcp.llmtomd.com/mcp

4. Convert your first document

Once connected, just ask your agent in natural language:

Convert https://example.com/whitepaper.pdf to Markdown and save it to my LLMtoMD library.

The agent calls the convert_url tool, waits for the conversion, and gets back clean Markdown plus a document_id it can reuse.

5. Use your library

From then on, your agent can pull from everything you've stored:

Search my LLMtoMD docs for the rate-limiting requirements.

Based on my stored spec, what status code should a duplicate upload return?

That's the whole loop: add → store → search/ask, all without leaving your agent.
