Convert PDFs to Heyzine flipbooks from your terminal

The `convert_pdf_to_flipbook` tool lets Claude Code process PDF URLs directly from your standard input or terminal arguments. You can pipe a list of document links straight into this CLI to trigger background Heyzine conversions. This command line output returns the clean Heyzine JSON payload with the new flipbook URLs. Developers can immediately pass these Heyzine URLs to other terminal utilities or save them to local configuration files using Claude Code.

Automate Heyzine bookshelves via this CLI MCP Server

The `add_flipbook_to_bookshelf` tool allows Claude Code to run headless cron jobs that keep your Heyzine library synchronized. You can schedule a daily shell script that checks your terminal environment for new PDFs and adds them to specific Heyzine bookshelves. If documents need to be rotated, Claude Code executes `remove_flipbook_from_bookshelf` based on your terminal script logic. It handles the entire Heyzine catalog organization without requiring a browser or GUI interface.

Claude Code audits your publishing account

The `get_account_info` tool gives Claude Code a quick snapshot of your active Heyzine plan limits and usage statistics right in your terminal using this MCP Server. You can run this command to verify your Heyzine API quotas before triggering large batch jobs. Running `check_api_status` lets the CLI verify Heyzine connection health before running heavy design updates. It prints plain-text status outputs that integrate perfectly with your standard shell pipelines in Claude Code.
