PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Design, images & audio
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http pdfoven https://pdfoven.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdfoven": {
      "url": "https://pdfoven.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "pdfoven": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://pdfoven.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Bearer token: your PDFOven API key, e.g. 'Bearer po_live_...'

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • render_pdf

    Render a PDF from exactly one source: html, markdown, url, template (+data) or template_id (+data). Returns the PDF as a base64 embedded resource. Each successful call uses one render from the account's monthly quota; nothing is stored. Over quota or invalid input returns a tool

  • render_image

    Render a PNG image from exactly one source: html, markdown, url (a website screenshot), template (+data) or template_id (+data). Built-in 1200x630 social cards: tpl_og_article, tpl_og_product and tpl_og_announcement. Returns the image inline. Each successful call uses one render

  • merge_pdfs

    Join 2-50 PDFs into one, in order, optionally picking pages from each. Returns the merged PDF as a base64 resource. Uses one render from the monthly quota.

  • split_pdf

    Split a PDF. Send pages to extract one PDF, ranges for one PDF per range (returned as a zip), or every to split into chunks of N pages. Uses one render.

  • compress_pdf

    Make a PDF smaller by recompressing and downscaling large images and cleaning unused data. Returns the original unchanged if it can't be made smaller. Uses one render.

  • watermark_pdf

    Stamp text (Latin characters) or a PNG/JPEG image onto a PDF's pages: centred and diagonal, tiled, or in a corner. Uses one render.

  • list_pdf_form_fields

    List a fillable PDF's form fields: name, type, current value, options and page. Use the names with fill_pdf_form. Does not use render quota.

  • fill_pdf_form

    Fill a PDF form's fields by name (text, checkboxes as true/false, radio and dropdown options) and optionally flatten it so it can't be edited. Unknown field names are an error with suggestions. Uses one render.

  • list_templates

    List every template saved in the PDFOven account, newest first, as JSON with id, name, engine and sample_data. Use an id with render_pdf/render_image (template_id) or get_template. Does not use render quota.

  • get_template

    Fetch one saved template in full: content, css, sample_data and page_options. Use it before update_template to see the current body. Does not use render quota.

  • create_template

    Save a new reusable template to the account and return its id. Templates are capped per plan (Free 3); at the cap this returns a tool error. Render it later with render_pdf or render_image and template_id plus data.

  • update_template

    Change a saved template. Only the fields you pass are replaced; others keep their current values. Future renders with this template_id use the new version immediately.

  • delete_template

    Permanently delete a saved template. This cannot be undone, and renders that reference its template_id will fail afterwards. Confirm with the user first.

Common questions

Is PDFOven safe?

It passed 2 of 3 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: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 22 days 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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
