Md To Feishu

Markdown to Feishu Document

Convert a local Markdown file into a Feishu document, with automatic image upload.

User Input

The user only needs to provide a Markdown file path. Title is optional — if not provided, extract it automatically (see below).

Step 1: Determine the Document Title

1. Read the Markdown file and look for the first # heading — use that as the title.
2. If no # heading exists, scan the content and generate a concise, descriptive title based on the topic.
3. If the user explicitly provides a title, use that instead.

Step 2: Check the Runtime Environment

Try each option in order. Use the first one that works.

Option A: uvx (preferred)

which uvx

If uvx is available, the run command is:

uvx feishu-docx create "<TITLE>" -f <MARKDOWN_FILE_PATH>

If uvx runs with Python < 3.11, add --python 3.11:

uvx --python 3.11 feishu-docx create "<TITLE>" -f <MARKDOWN_FILE_PATH>

Option B: feishu-docx already installed

which feishu-docx

If found, check Python version:

python3 --version

If Python >= 3.11, the run command is:

feishu-docx create "<TITLE>" -f <MARKDOWN_FILE_PATH>

Option C: Nothing available — install guidance

If neither uvx nor feishu-docx is found, tell the user:

feishu-docx requires Python >= 3.11. Install with one of:

# Recommended: install uv, then run directly without global install
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uvx feishu-docx create "Title" -f file.md

# Or: install globally with pip (Python >= 3.11 required)
pip install feishu-docx

Feishu credentials must be configured first:

feishu-docx config set --app-id <APP_ID> --app-secret <APP_SECRET>

Then stop and wait for the user to set up the environment.

Step 3: Pre-process Mermaid Blocks

The feishu-docx tool cannot handle Mermaid code blocks. Before uploading, check if the Markdown contains any ```mermaid blocks and convert them to images first.

3a: Scan for Mermaid blocks

Read the Markdown file and check if it contains any ```mermaid fenced code blocks. If none are found, skip to Step 4.

3b: Create a temporary copy

Copy the original Markdown file to a temp file in the same directory (so relative image paths still work):

<original-name>.feishu-tmp.md

For example: blog_post.md → blog_post.feishu-tmp.md

All subsequent modifications happen on this temp copy. The original file is never modified.

3c: Render Mermaid diagrams to PNG

For each ```mermaid ... ``` block in the temp file, render it to a PNG image using the mermaid.ink API:

import base64, urllib.request

def render_mermaid(code: str, output_path: str):
    """Render a Mermaid diagram to PNG via mermaid.ink API."""
    encoded = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(code.encode()).decode()
    url = f"https://mermaid.ink/img/{encoded}?bgColor=white"
    req = urllib.request.Request(url, headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"})
    resp = urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=30)
    with open(output_path, "wb") as f:
        f.write(resp.read())

Important: The User-Agent header is required — mermaid.ink returns 403 without it.

Save rendered images to the same directory as the Markdown file, using descriptive filenames based on diagram content:

• GOOD: mermaid-architecture-overview.png, mermaid-data-flow.png
• BAD: mermaid-1.png, diagram.png

3d: Replace Mermaid blocks with image references

In the temp copy, replace each ```mermaid ... ``` block with a Markdown image reference:

![Architecture overview](mermaid-architecture-overview.png)

Use relative paths from the temp file to the rendered images.

3e: Use the temp file for upload

From this point, the temp file becomes the <MARKDOWN_FILE_PATH> used in Step 4.

Step 4: Run the Command

• Run from the directory where the Markdown file lives (or where its relative image paths resolve correctly), so that local image references work.
• The tool will:
  • Convert Markdown blocks to Feishu format
  • Automatically upload local images referenced in the Markdown
  • Wait ~10s for block consistency before uploading images

Step 5: Clean Up

If a temp file was created in Step 3:

• Delete the temp Markdown file (*.feishu-tmp.md)
• Delete all rendered Mermaid PNG files created in Step 3c (they were only needed for the upload)

Step 6: Report Result

Show the user:

• Number of blocks converted and images uploaded
• The created document ID
• Success or failure status

If it fails with authentication errors, remind the user to configure credentials:

feishu-docx config set --app-id <APP_ID> --app-secret <APP_SECRET>
