Convert Documents to Markdown with MinerU API & GPT-4o-mini
Automates high-quality conversion of PDFs, Word, PPT to Markdown via MinerU API's OCR, table, and formula recognition, triggered by n8n chat uploads.
This workflow enables seamless conversion of various document formats like PDF, Word, and PowerPoint into clean Markdown files. It leverages the MinerU API through a local MCP server for advanced OCR, table extraction, and formula recognition, ensuring accurate preservation of complex layouts. Users interact via the n8n chat interface: upload a file, send a message, and receive processed Markdown output saved locally.
Key benefits include superior accuracy over basic converters, handling of scanned docs and structured data, and integration with GPT-4o-mini for potential post-processing like summarization. It saves hours of manual reformatting, ideal for building knowledge bases, GitHub repos, or AI-ready datasets.
Use cases span HR (converting resumes/policies), legal (contracts), research (papers), and dev (tech docs). Setup requires a local n8n instance, MinerU MCP server, OpenAI creds, and path configs. Perfect for teams needing reliable doc-to-MD automation without cloud dependencies.
