Run file conversions in Claude Desktop

Trigger `convert_file` or `quick_convert_to_jpg` to process documents and images without opening external sites. You stay focused on your work while your AI client handles the heavy lifting in the background. Everything happens via the Convertio API, so you never deal with manual uploads. Just tell Claude what you need and watch it finish the task.

Manage your conversion queue

Keep track of active tasks using `list_active_jobs` and `get_conversion_status`. It is easy to see exactly what is finished and what is still pending right in your interface. If you need to clear your history, use `delete_conversion_job` to remove files from the remote servers. You maintain control over your data footprint.

Check your Convertio credit balance

Run `get_account_balance` to see how many credits you have left for your current billing cycle. You avoid surprises by keeping an eye on your usage before you start a batch job. This MCP Server provides direct feedback so you know your limits. You can plan your projects around your available quota.
