FileToPDF MCP server
A Model Context Protocol server for FileToPDF. It lets any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, VS Code, ChatGPT, n8n, Make, or your own agent — convert files, HTML, and Markdown to PDF through natural language: invoices, reports, documentation, DOCX/XLSX/PPTX, images, web pages, and more.
Bring your own API key — get one free, in one click, at (10 free conversions, no signup required).
Tools
Each convert tool returns a metadata summary and the PDF as an embedded application/pdf resource (base64), so capable clients can save the file. Set the FILETOPDFOUTPUTDIR env var, or pass save_path, to also write the PDF to disk.
Layout options (landscape, paperWidth/Height, margins, scale, pdfa, passwords, …) are available on Pro, Scale, and the free trial; on Starter/Basic they return an upgrade error. Each successful conversion costs 1 credit; errors are free.
Quick start (local / stdio)
Cursor — one-click install: Add to Cursor (then replace the placeholder with your key).
Claude Desktop / Cline / any stdio client — add to the MCP config (claudedesktopconfig.json, clinemcpsettings.json, …):
{
"mcpServers": {
"filetopdf": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "filetopdf-mcp"],
"env": { "FILETOPDF_API_KEY": "sk_live_YOUR_API_KEY" }
}
}
}Claude Code:
claude mcp add filetopdf -e FILETOPDF_API_KEY=sk_live_YOUR_API_KEY -- npx -y filetopdf-mcpVS Code (.vscode/mcp.json or via MCP: Add Server):
{
"servers": {
"filetopdf": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "filetopdf-mcp"],
"env": { "FILETOPDF_API_KEY": "sk_live_YOUR_API_KEY" }
}
}
}Hosted / remote (Streamable HTTP) — no install
A hosted endpoint is available at https://api.filetopdf.dev/mcp. Authenticate with your own key via the x-api-key header, an Authorization: Bearer header, or an ?apiKey= query parameter.

}This is also the URL to paste into any platform with an MCP client step — n8n (MCP Client Tool), Make (MCP Client), Zapier (MCP Client beta), Relay.app (Call MCP tool), Flowise, Langflow, Dify, LibreChat, AnythingLLM, or agent frameworks (OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, CrewAI, Vercel AI SDK).
