Are there any tools to convert markdown to Wiki text in other formats

The requirement is that I need to paste a long document in markdown format to a mediawiki site, which has no markdown extension installed. All I can find about markdown, tools or modules/libraries, are in charge of converting markdown to HTML. My question is: is there a convenient way to do the work from markdown to MediaWiki wikitext?
