Research Markdown for humans and agents
Mdtero turns a DOI, paper page, or preprint into clean Markdown you can keep using, with figures, optional translation, and filenames that still make sense later.
Most people can start in Account. The local helper is the default path, and Chrome or Edge only matters when a live paper page has to be captured in a real browser.
Research out
Evidence-preserving Markdown, figure folders, translated outputs, fallback ZIPs when needed, and workflow handoffs that your next agent step can actually use.
Research in
DOI, paper page, preprint, or local file
Agent
Create one key in Account, copy one install message, and keep the handoff inside your normal agent workflow.
Start here
Start in Account for keyword discovery, API-key management, and agent handoff; use the local helper as the default acquisition path, and bring in the API or Chrome or Edge only when automation or a supported live paper page needs browser capture.
Discovery
Start from a topic, shortlist papers with the built-in keyword search, then send the right DOI into the normal Mdtero parse flow.
Helper
This is the default acquisition path for DOI, URL, and local files. Keep retrieval on your own machine, then continue with a cleaner parse input.
Extension
Best when a supported live paper page needs to be captured in your browser.
Agent
Create one key in Account, copy one install message, and keep the handoff inside your normal agent workflow.
Standardized Output
Mdtero keeps the paper structure in a Markdown format that is still readable, traceable, and usable in the next step instead of leaving you with a brittle scrape.
Agent Install
Setup lives in Account. Once you create a key, Mdtero prepares the handoff message for the agent you already use.

Use Cases
Finding papers, reading in translation, and drafting a review can all start from the same Markdown file.
Weekly Discovery
Use Mdtero's keyword discovery to filter by topic, year, venue, and open-access status, then parse only the papers you actually want to read.
Search for recent thermochemical energy storage papers, filter to open-access review articles after 2022, then send the best candidates through Mdtero and return a shortlist with one-line notes.
Translation
Run Mdtero's built-in translation on top of the parsed Markdown and keep the same sections, figures, and references in the target-language copy.
Parse this paper with Mdtero, run the built-in Chinese translation, and return the translated Markdown with the same section, figure, and reference anchors preserved.
Literature Review
Once papers share the same Markdown structure, your agent can compare claims, extract methods, and draft a review without wrestling with format drift.
Compare these Mdtero Markdown files, group them by method and evidence type, then draft a literature review outline with citations back to each paper.
