How do I connect my PDFMonkey account?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and then enter your PDFMonkey Secret Key in the connection settings. Once connected, it is ready to use in your AI client.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can I create PDFs from HTML templates?

Yes. The MCP uses the PDFMonkey engine to transform HTML and CSS templates into PDFs using JSON payloads.

How do I get the actual PDF file?

Your agent can retrieve secure, temporary download links for your documents through the chat interface.

Is PDF generation instant?

Generation is an asynchronous process. Your agent can check the status of a document to see when it is ready for download.

Can my AI automatically find the download link for a document after it has been generated?

Yes! Use the get_document capability with the Document ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including the download_url if the status is 'success'. Note that these links are temporary for security.

How do I find my PDFMonkey Secret Key?

Log in to your PDFMonkey dashboard, navigate to My Account, and you will find your unique secret API key in the 'Secret Key' section.

What status should I expect when a document is first created?

The initial status is usually 'pending' while the document is being rendered. You can ask the AI to poll the status until it becomes 'success' to retrieve the download link.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

PDFMonkey works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put PDFMonkey to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of PDFMonkey, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with PDFMonkey. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
