The FileToPDF MCP server lets you convert files, HTML, and Markdown to PDF using natural language commands, with options for layout, passwords, and accessibility.

• Check account status (get_account): Verify your API key and view your plan, remaining credits, and subscription status — free, uses no credits.

• Convert files from a URL (convert_file): Convert public URLs of Office documents (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, RTF, TXT, CSV), images (PNG, JPG, WebP), HTML, Markdown, or existing PDFs into PDFs.

• Convert raw HTML to PDF (convert_html): Render HTML strings with optional CSS injection and full layout control (paper size, margins, scale, orientation, print background) using Chromium.

• Convert raw Markdown to PDF (convert_markdown): Render Markdown strings to clean PDFs with a sensible default stylesheet (overridable with custom CSS) and the same layout options as HTML conversion.

• Customize output: Control page orientation, paper dimensions, margins, scale, page ranges, and background printing.

• Protect PDFs: Set user and owner passwords to restrict opening or permissions on the output PDF.

• Accessibility & archiving: Produce PDF/UA (accessible) or PDF/A (archival) compliant documents (Pro/Scale/trial plans only).

• Save locally: Write output PDFs to disk via a save_path parameter or the FILETOPDF_OUTPUT_DIR environment variable.

• Cost: Each successful conversion costs 1 credit; errors are free.
