Hello everyone.
When I try to open mdf format file in SQL Sever I recieve this message : Unrecognized SQL Database error. So my question is, could anyone suggest me the way to open corrupted mdf?
Thanks in advance.

You don't open MDF files, you attach them to a SQL Server database instance. How are you trying to do this? Do you have SQL Server already installed?

Connection to server - database folder - click Attach- add

Yup, that's correct. What's the result of doing that?

open it with the help of MDF Open File Tool

Slight incomplete error information, but check if you have access to the folder and files to begin with.
Just because you can browse to the folder where the MDF and LDF is located does not mean you have access to the files.
Let us know what the complete error is when you try to perform the attach.
