Perplexity

Generate PDFs and screenshots in Claude Desktop

Turn any web page or raw HTML into a clean PDF without leaving your chat. The `convert_url_to_pdf` and `convert_html_to_pdf` tools handle the rendering so you get a final file ready for your project. You can also grab high-fidelity images of live sites using `capture_url_screenshot`. It pulls the visual state of a URL straight into your workspace.

Manage cloudlayer.io templates and history

Keep your document generation organized by checking your available layouts with `list_pdf_templates`. You can inspect specific settings for any layout using `get_template_configuration` to ensure your PDFs match your brand. Keep track of your past work by running `list_generation_history`. It shows you exactly what documents or images you produced recently.

Monitor cloudlayer.io usage in the MCP Server

Watch your quota in real time by triggering `get_cloudlayer_usage_stats`. It tells you exactly how much of your plan you have consumed today. See your active automation hooks by running `list_cloudlayer_webhooks`. This keeps your background notifications synced with your document generation pipeline.
