convert_markdownLABSCO SUMMARY
It solves the paste problem, and it says where your text goes.
The reason to use this over a local Markdown renderer is destination-specific output: what pastes cleanly into Google Docs is not what pastes cleanly into Slack, and one tool knows the difference across 8 targets. The privacy section is unusually direct — content sent for conversion is processed and returned without being stored, while documents you create stay in your account until you delete them.
What it is
A Node server over the Unmarkdown API. It converts Markdown into styled HTML for a chosen destination and template, and manages a document library — create, list, read, update and publish to a public URL.
What you get
- Markdown converted for 8 destinations —
google-docs,word,slack,onenote,email,plain-text,genericandhtml— throughconvert_markdown - 62 visual templates with light and dark themes, applied by id:

Requirements
An Unmarkdown account and an API key beginning with um_, in UNMARKDOWN_API_KEY. UNMARKDOWN_API_URL is optional and defaults to https://api.unmarkdown.com. Launch it through npx with -y and @un-markdown/mcp-server, install globally and use unmarkdown-mcp, or connect to the remote endpoint at https://unmarkdown.com/api/mcp. Free covers 1,000 API calls a month at 10 req/sec; Pro is $8/mo billed annually for 10,000 calls at 30 req/sec, with overage at $1.00 per 1,000 additional calls. Markdown you convert is sent to api.unmarkdown.com.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npm install -g @un-markdown/mcp-server, then supply credentials
