FileToPDF
Wraps the FileToPDF API so Claude and other MCP clients can convert documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, HTML, and Markdown to PDF through natural language. Exposes four tools: check account credits, convert from public URL (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, images), render raw HTML to PDF via Chromium, and render Markdown to PDF. Returns both metadata and the actual PDF as a base64 resource that clients can save. Supports layout options like landscape, custom page sizes, margins, and password protection on paid tiers. Available as a local stdio server via npx or as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at api.filetopdf.dev/mcp. Requires your own API key from filetopdf.dev, which gives you 10 free conversions to start.
