What this server can do
7 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
extract_to_markdown(api_key, file_path, uploaded_file_reference)- Extract structured documents (.docx, .xlsx, .csv, .tsv, .pptx) into Markdown through Frenchie. stdio mode auto-saves the result to .frenchie/<name>/result.md; HTTP mode returns inline Markdown.
fetch_result_file(api_key, object_key)- Get a temporary download URL for a result file from OCR/transcription output. Use this to download images referenced as frenchie-result: in the result markdown. Required: object_key.
generate_image(size, style, format, prompt, api_key, quality, background, output_dir)- Generate a single image from a text prompt through Frenchie. Required: prompt. Optional: style (free-text style direction), size, quality, format, background. stdio mode auto-saves the image to .frenchie/<slug>/generated.<ext>; HTTP mode returns a presigned imageUrl that the agent should download for the user. Required: prompt.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
