I'm a little confused (as is Python).
The line:
mxds_List = glob.glob('*.mxd')
creates a Python list of strings representing filenames of your .MXDs. The line:
for mxd in mxds_List:
iterates through those strings, plugging each one into mxd. That's
just a string at that point. Do you want to parse the filename, strip
the .mxd extension and replace it with .shp?
