The Markdown LLM Advantage

Why Markdown? Passing raw PDFs to Large Language Models consumes massive amounts of your context window and drops crucial structural semantics. Mdtero's Markdown instantly reduces token usage by up to 80% while perfectly preserving tables, math equations, and bibliography linkages. It's the ultimate AI-native research format.

Proof

Cleaner than raw XML, closer to how researchers actually read

Mdtero focuses on practical outputs: cleaned sections, image folders, source file access, and AI-ready Markdown that stays close to the paper.

Outputs

ZIP, PDF, XML, and translation

Free source-file access for PDF and XML. Paid parsing and translation outputs for users who want the full Markdown workflow.

Workflow

From page to package in four steps

1

Open a paper page or paste a DOI

Mdtero detects supported pages directly in the browser extension.

2

Parse into a Markdown bundle

Download a clean ZIP package instead of wrestling with raw publisher formats.

3

Keep your source files

PDF and XML stay available so the workflow is transparent and auditable.

4

Add translation when needed

Translation is optional and layered on top of the parsed Markdown flow.

Developer Workflow

Give your AI coding agents the power to read papers

Mdtero natively integrates with OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Codex. Generate an API Key in your dashboard and configure the skills below.

OpenClaw

Recommended

Install the Mdtero skill via OpenClaw MCP settings:

# Add Mdtero as an MCP tool in OpenClaw
openclaw mcp add mdtero \
  --url https://api.mdtero.com/mcp \
  --api-key $MDTERO_API_KEY

# Then ask your agent:
# "Parse the paper at https://doi.org/10.1016/..."

Claude Code

Add the Mdtero MCP Server to your global Claude Code config:

claude mcp add mdtero \
  uv run --with mcp --with httpx \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JonbinC/Mdtero-Extension/main/mcp/mdtero_mcp.py

# Re-open Claude Code, then say:
# "Use mdtero to parse the paper at https://doi.org/10.1016/..."

Codex

Point Codex at the Mdtero API with your key:

# Set your API key
export MDTERO_API_KEY="mdt_live_..."

# Parse via curl
curl -X POST https://api.mdtero.com/tasks/parse \
  -H "ApiKey: $MDTERO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input": "https://doi.org/10.1016/..."}'
