How can I convert dict to 'MPDataDoc' object back?

monty’s loadfn currently doesn’t automatically take care of deserializing to MPDataDoc (or better the original type corresponding to the endpoint, i.e. SummaryDoc). You’d have to hand the dict to the SummaryDoc constructor explicitly. Something like:

from emmet.core.summary import SummaryDoc

data = loadfn("...")

for d in data:
    doc = SummaryDoc(**d)
