Set Your API Token

Add your Markdown Anything API token to your OpenClaw environment. You can generate a token from Settings > API Tokens in your workspace dashboard.

.env

MDA_API_TOKEN=mda_your_token_here

Start a New Session

Restart your OpenClaw session so it picks up the new skill. Then ask your agent to convert a file:

"Convert this PDF to Markdown"
"Extract text from this image"
"How many Markdown Anything credits do I have?"

Options

Set these environment variables to change the default conversion behavior:

Variable	Description
`MDA_ENHANCED_AI=true`	Use Enhanced AI for scanned documents, images, and audio (costs extra credits)
`MDA_INCLUDE_METADATA=true`	Include document metadata (title, author, page count) in the response
`MDA_OPTIMIZE_TOKENS=true`	Optimize Markdown output for LLM token efficiency

You need a paid plan for API access. View plans.
