md2docx - Markdown to Word Converter

Convert Markdown text to professionally formatted Word (DOCX) documents.

Quick Start

Default to file mode for local skill execution:

# File mode: Saves file directly (default for local environments)
python scripts/convert.py input.md

# URL mode: Returns download URL when running remotely
python scripts/convert.py input.md --url

Choosing the Right Mode

Decision Rule:

• Run without a mode flag when the skill runs on the same machine where the user wants the output file.
• Use --url only when the skill runs in a different environment than the user (cloud, remote server, MCP server).

How It Works

1. Prepare Markdown: Ensure content is in standard Markdown format
2. Run Script: Execute scripts/convert.py with appropriate mode
3. Get Result:

- URL mode: Receive download URL - File mode: File saved to specified location

API Details

Endpoints:

• URL mode: https://api.deepshare.app/convert-text-to-url → Returns {"url": "..."}
• File mode: https://api.deepshare.app/convert-text → Returns DOCX file directly

Authentication: Set the DEEPSHAREAPI_KEY environment variable and send it as X-API-Key.

API Key Configuration

Set the environment variable before running the skill:

export DEEP_SHARE_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

The skill reads only this environment variable. If it is missing, conversion stops with a configuration error.

• Code blocks use triple backticks
• Math formulas use $...$ (inline) or $$...$$ (block)
• Images use publicly accessible URLs

Response Handling

Success (200 OK):

{
  "url": "https://flies.deepshare.app/mcp/hash/document_xxx.docx"

• 413 Payload Too Large - Content exceeds 10MB
• 500 Internal Server Error - Service unavailable, retry

User Communication

On Success

Tell user:

1. Conversion completed successfully
2. URL mode: Provide the download URL
3. File mode: Provide the file path where document was saved
4. Check which API key was used:

- If using the environment variable: No reminder needed - If the environment variable is missing: Tell the user to set DEEPSHAREAPI_KEY

On Quota Exceeded

Tell user:

1. Conversion failed: quota exceeded
2. Purchase more credits at: https://ds.rick216.cn/purchase
3. Recheck DEEPSHAREAPI_KEY

On Other Errors

Tell user:

1. What went wrong (based on error message)
2. How to fix it
3. Offer to retry

Tips

• API Key Configuration:

- Set environment variable DEEPSHAREAPIKEY ``bash export DEEPSHAREAPIKEY="yourapikey_here" ``

• File Size: Keep Markdown under 10MB
• Images: Use https:// URLs, not local paths
• Math: Use LaTeX syntax: $E=mc^2$ or $$\int_0^\infty$$
• Templates: Choose based on document type (paper, article, etc.)

Example Workflows

Workflow 1: Cloud Environment (URL Mode)

User asks: "Convert this to Word" (skill running in cloud)

1. Save the Markdown content to a temporary file (e.g., temp.md)

1. Run the conversion script with URL mode:

``bash python scripts/convert.py temp.md --url ``

1. The script will:

- Read the API key from DEEPSHAREAPI_KEY - Call the conversion API - Return download URL

1. Provide the download URL to user

1. Clean up temporary file

Workflow 2: Local Environment (File Mode)

User asks: "Convert my notes.md to Word" (skill running locally)

1. Run the conversion script with file mode:

``bash python scripts/convert.py notes.md --output ./output ``

1. The script will:

- Read the API key from DEEPSHAREAPI_KEY - Call the conversion API - Save the DOCX file directly

1. Tell user where the file was saved

1. No cleanup needed - file is the output
