- [MarkItDown-MCP](https://hebbmind.com/fr/mcp/markitdown-mcp.md): [MCP] From Microsoft: converts PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML and other files or URLs to Markdown so agents can read and search them. A single convert_to_markdown tool over STDIO or local HTTP.
- [MarkItDown](https://hebbmind.com/fr/cli/markitdown.md): [CLI] Converts PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, images, audio and more into Markdown that keeps headings, lists and tables, ready for LLMs to read and analyze. Maintained by Microsoft; requires Python 3.10+.
- [PaddleOCR](https://hebbmind.com/fr/cli/paddleocr.md): [CLI] Baidu PaddlePaddle's official OCR and document parsing tool: the paddleocr command reads text from images and parses PDFs and scans into Markdown or JSON, supporting 100+ languages with models that run locally.
- [PaddleOCR MCP Server](https://hebbmind.com/fr/mcp/paddlepaddle-mcp-server.md): [MCP] Official PaddleOCR MCP: text recognition and layout parsing for images and PDFs (PP-OCR, PP-StructureV3, PaddleOCR-VL), returning text or Markdown. Runs inference locally, or calls the official API or a self-hosted service.
- [MinerU](https://hebbmind.com/fr/cli/mineru.md): [CLI] Document parser from OpenDataLab that turns PDFs, images and Office files into Markdown or JSON, handling tables, formulas and complex layouts well, with page-by-page reading and citation anchors for agents. Parses locally by default; needs Python 3.10+.
- [career-ops](https://hebbmind.com/fr/plugin/career-ops.md): [Plugin] Job search system that runs in your local AI coding CLI: scans job portals, scores roles with a structured A-H evaluation and a 1-5 rating, flags fake listings, tailors ATS resumes and cover letters, and tracks applications. Never submits for you. Needs Node.js.
- [Docling](https://hebbmind.com/fr/cli/docling.md): [CLI] Parses PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, images and audio, recovering layout, reading order, tables and formulas, and exports Markdown, HTML or lossless JSON. Started by IBM Research, now hosted by the LF AI & Data Foundation; runs fully locally.
- [Marker](https://hebbmind.com/fr/cli/marker.md): [CLI] Converts PDFs, images, PPTX, DOCX, XLSX, EPUB and more into Markdown, JSON or HTML, preserving tables, formulas and layout, with optional LLM help for higher accuracy. Needs Python 3.10+ and PyTorch; large-scale commercial use of the model weights needs a paid license.
- [olmOCR](https://hebbmind.com/fr/cli/olmocr.md): [CLI] AI2's tool for converting PDFs and scans to Markdown with a vision LLM, handling equations, tables, handwriting and multi-column layouts, suited to bulk digitizing papers and archives. Local runs need an NVIDIA GPU with 12GB+ VRAM; otherwise use a paid OpenAI-compatible remote endpoint.
- [Paper Search MCP](https://hebbmind.com/fr/mcp/paper-search-mcp.md): [MCP] Unified search across 20+ academic sources including arXiv, PubMed, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex, returning deduplicated, normalized results and downloading full text via open-access channels first. Most sources need no API key.
- [evil-read-arxiv](https://hebbmind.com/fr/skill/evil-read-arxiv.md): [Skill] Recommends daily papers from arXiv and Semantic Scholar by research interest, reads them and writes illustrated Obsidian notes and a paper graph; can also search venues like CVPR and NeurIPS. Needs Python 3, Obsidian, a vault path and an interests config; the web app needs an Anthropic API key.
- [dailypaper-skills](https://hebbmind.com/fr/skill/dailypaper-skills.md): [Skill] Pulls new papers from Hugging Face Daily Papers and arXiv, scores them by research area into a recommendation page, and writes deep-read Obsidian notes for key ones; can also batch-read Zotero collections. Needs Python 3, Obsidian and poppler; copy the whole skills folder per the README.
- [MinerU Open MCP](https://hebbmind.com/fr/mcp/opendatalab-mcp.md): [MCP] MinerU's official MCP: parses PDF, Word, PowerPoint and images into Markdown via the mineru.net cloud API, keeping tables and formulas. The keyless Flash mode works out of the box; add a token for higher quotas and more formats.
