One instruction, then keep going
Install Mdtero for me, use my Mdtero API key, keep Elsevier acquisition local when required, and confirm parse plus translation are ready.AI research pre-processing workflow
Turn one paper into a structured research package your next step can actually use
Mdtero turns supported papers into auditable Markdown, translated reading copies, figures, and reusable bundles for agent-first research work.

Bundle Ready for your next agent stepEntry Points
Start from the browser extension or your agent
Mdtero has two primary entry modes: capture while reading, or continue inside an agent workflow.
Extension
Browser Extension
Capture supported paper pages into a clean research package without leaving the browser.

Agent Handoff
Send one install instruction, then continue directly into translation, comparison, or review drafting.
Log inWorkflow
From discovery to literature work in four steps
Capture the paper you actually want
Start from a DOI, a supported paper page, arXiv, or a local retrieval helper and keep the acquisition path explicit.
Parse into a structured research package
Get Markdown, figures, downloadable artifacts, and machine-usable task results instead of a fragile one-off scrape.
Translate, organize, and preserve evidence
Use translation only when needed, while keeping the package auditable and ready for downstream review or synthesis.
Hand it off to your next agent step
Move straight into summarization, review drafting, weekly discovery loops, or your own research automation.
Use Cases
Three research pain points the current product already solves
Mdtero should feel like an entry point into AI research work, not just a parser. These examples map directly onto the current product surfaces.
Weekly Discovery
Pair Semantic Scholar discovery with a reproducible capture loop
Use Semantic Scholar to surface new papers, then feed the shortlisted links into Mdtero so each candidate becomes a consistent package for screening and note taking.
Every Friday, collect this week's promising papers from Semantic Scholar, send the selected links through Mdtero, and return a shortlist with package links and one-line relevance notes.Translation
Translate a paper without losing its research structure
Instead of pasting a raw PDF into a chat, start from the Markdown package and produce a cleaner translation that still preserves figures, sections, and references.
Take this Mdtero package, translate the paper into Chinese, keep the section structure, and flag any equations, figures, or ambiguous terminology that need manual review.Literature Review
Draft a literature review from evidence-preserving packages
Once a set of papers is normalized into the same package format, your agent can compare claims, extract methods, and draft a review without fighting format drift.
Compare these Mdtero packages, group them by method and evidence type, then draft a literature review outline with citations back to each paper package.Pricing
