Terminal-driven file conversion using Claude Code

The `convert_file` tool lets Claude Code run media conversions directly from your shell without opening a browser window. You pass a file path, and the CLI agent triggers the conversion job instantly. You can pipe the output of other terminal utilities directly into Claude Code. The agent manages the upload, tracks the process, and saves the file back to your working directory.

Headless PDF generation via MCP Server commands

The `quick_convert_to_pdf` tool allows your terminal agent to transform raw document URLs into clean PDFs. This fits perfectly into automated shell scripts or cron jobs running on remote servers. While the job runs, Claude Code monitors progress using `get_conversion_status` and outputs the status directly to your terminal. Once finished, it saves the asset and frees up your shell.

Remote job cleanup and format checks

The `delete_conversion_job` tool lets Claude Code purge your files from remote storage immediately after download. This keeps your temporary data footprint minimal during large automation runs. If you run into unknown formats, the agent queries `list_common_formats` to verify compatibility. It cross-references this list before wasting API credits on unsupported file types.
