# Markdown to Word

> Free, open-source converter that turns Markdown, including ChatGPT and Claude replies, into formatted Word (.docx) files in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Markdown to Word runs entirely client-side: the web page converts Markdown in the browser and never sends it to a server. Every page has a Markdown version at the URLs below, also served for `Accept: text/markdown`. The full text of all of them is at https://md2word.app/llms-full.txt.

## Use it from code or an agent

Agents and scripts can run the same converter on their own machine. Nothing is uploaded either way. Full reference: https://md2word.app/developers.md

- **Claude Desktop (one click):** download [markdown-to-word.mcpb](https://github.com/benbalter/markdown-to-word-js/releases/latest/download/markdown-to-word.mcpb) and double-click it. Claude Desktop installs the MCP server below; no Node or terminal needed, since Claude Desktop includes Node.
- **MCP server (local):** `claude mcp add markdown-to-word -- npx -y markdown-to-word mcp`, or in any MCP client the command `npx` with args `["-y", "markdown-to-word", "mcp"]`. Its tool `convert_markdown_to_word` takes `markdown` or a .md `path`, writes the .docx to `output_path`, and never fetches remote images.
- **Command line:** `npx markdown-to-word report.md` writes report.docx next to it.
- **Node library:** `convertMarkdownToWord(markdown)` from the [`markdown-to-word`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-to-word) package returns the .docx as a `Blob`.
- **WebMCP:** in a browser with WebMCP, the converter page registers `convert_markdown_to_docx`, which returns the .docx as base64.
