What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 11, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

get_account
Check the FileToPDF API key and return the plan, remaining conversion credits, and subscription status. Free — costs no credits. Use this to verify the connection works.
convert_file
Convert a file fetched from a public URL into a PDF. Auto-detects the engine from the extension: Office docs (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, RTF, TXT, CSV…), images (PNG, JPG, WebP…), HTML, Markdown, or an existing PDF (passthrough). Costs 1 credit on success. Returns the PDF as an embed
convert_html
Render a raw HTML string to a PDF using Chromium, with optional CSS and layout options. Costs 1 credit on success. Returns the PDF as an embedded resource.
convert_markdown
Render a raw Markdown string to a PDF, with optional CSS and layout options. A sensible default stylesheet is applied when no CSS is given. Costs 1 credit on success. Returns the PDF as an embedded resource.

Common questions

Is FileToPDF safe?

It passed 5 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: FILETOPDF_API_KEY, x-api-key

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 5 months ago, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.

What can I use instead?

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 https://filetopdf.dev (10 free conversions, no signup required).

Tools

Tool	What it does
`get_account`	Check the API key and show plan + remaining credits. Free, no credits used.
`convert_file`	Convert a file from a public URL (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, images, HTML, MD, PDF…) to PDF.
`convert_html`	Render a raw HTML string (with optional CSS + layout options) to a pixel-perfect PDF via Chromium.
`convert_markdown`	Render a raw Markdown string (with optional CSS + layout options) to a clean PDF.

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 FILETOPDF_OUTPUT_DIR 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 (claude_desktop_config.json, cline_mcp_settings.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-mcp

VS 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.

"mcpServers": { "filetopdf": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://api.filetopdf.dev/mcp", "headers": { "x-api-key": "sk_live_YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

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).

To self-host instead:

npm run build && npm run start:http   # listens on $PORT (default 8080) at /mcp

A Dockerfile is included for container hosting (Smithery, Fly, Render, Cloud Run).

Develop & test

npm install

npm run build # tsc -> dist/ npm test # spawns the built stdio server, runs a live conversion

npm test reads FILETOPDF_API_KEY, or API_KEY= from a gitignored .env.
