Microsoft.Extensions.DataIngestion.MarkItDown

Provides an implementation of the IngestionDocumentReader class for the MarkItDown utility.

Install the package

From the command-line:

dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.DataIngestion.MarkItDown --prerelease

Or directly in the C# project file:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.DataIngestion.MarkItDown" Version="[CURRENTVERSION]" />
</ItemGroup>

Usage Examples

Creating a MarkItDownReader for Data Ingestion (Local Process)

Use MarkItDownReader to convert documents using the MarkItDown executable installed locally:

using Microsoft.Extensions.DataIngestion;

IngestionDocumentReader reader =
    new MarkItDownReader(new FileInfo(@"pathToMarkItDown.exe"), extractImages: true);

using IngestionPipeline<string> pipeline = new(reader, CreateChunker(), CreateWriter());

Creating a MarkItDownMcpReader for Data Ingestion (MCP Server)

Use MarkItDownMcpReader to convert documents using a MarkItDown MCP server:

using Microsoft.Extensions.DataIngestion;

// Connect to a MarkItDown MCP server (e.g., running in Docker)
IngestionDocumentReader reader =
    new MarkItDownMcpReader(new Uri("http://localhost:3001/mcp"));

using IngestionPipeline<string> pipeline = new(reader, CreateChunker(), CreateWriter());

The MarkItDown MCP server can be run using Docker:

docker run -p 3001:3001 mcp/markitdown --http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3001

Or installed via pip:

pip install markitdown-mcp-server
markitdown-mcp --http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3001

Integrating with Aspire

Aspire can be used for seamless integration with MarkItDown MCP. Sample AppHost logic:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var markitdown = builder.AddContainer("markitdown", "mcp/markitdown")
    .WithArgs("--http", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "3001")
    .WithHttpEndpoint(targetPort: 3001, name: "http");
    
var webApp = builder.AddProject("name");

webApp.WithEnvironment("MARKITDOWN_MCP_URL", markitdown.GetEndpoint("http"));

builder.Build().Run();

Sample Ingestion Service:

string url = $"{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("MARKITDOWN_MCP_URL")}/mcp";

IngestionDocumentReader reader = new MarkItDownMcpReader(new Uri(url));
