You could always install pandoc locally. It's free, and it's the same software docverter is using. (For PDF output, you'd also need to install texlive, but that too is free.)

I wrote a Haskell library, [texmath]( http://github.com/jgm/texmath ) that converts LaTeX to MathML; this is used in pandoc and gitit. The library comes with two executables, one a standalone command-line converter, another a CGI program.
