Generate PDFs from URLs and HTML

Turn any webpage or raw HTML snippet into a clean PDF without leaving your conversation. Use `convert_url_to_pdf` or `convert_html_to_pdf` to pull content directly from the web or your local dev environment. Your agent handles the rendering, so you don't need to mess with browser print settings. It's the fastest way to turn documentation or reports into static files for your team.

Manipulate Documents with Ease

Combine multiple files or split large ones using `merge_pdfs` and `split_pdf` tools. You can also inject metadata or bookmarks using `write_pdf_metadata` and `write_pdf_bookmarks` to keep your archives organized. These tools work on the files you provide, meaning you keep control over your data. It's a simple way to prep documents for final delivery.

Screenshot Web Content

Capture visual representations of your sites or Markdown files using `screenshot_url` and `screenshot_markdown`. These tools generate images that you can drop straight into your workspace. It removes the need for manual cropping or third-party extensions. Just ask Claude to grab the view, and you have the file ready to go.

Common questions about Gotenberg MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your configuration file via Settings, Developer, and Edit Config. Add the server details to your mcpServers list, then save and restart the app to see the tools appear.

Yes, you can run the server locally on your machine. By using stdio transport, Claude Desktop executes the tools as a local subprocess, keeping your data off the network.

Since you control the local instance, your files stay on your machine. Gotenberg processes the data within your local environment, ensuring your sensitive documents never touch a third-party cloud.

Absolutely. You can give your agent a list of files and ask it to run `merge_pdfs`. It handles the sequence and generates the combined file in seconds.

The server treats your local files as input and outputs the result directly to your session. It does not store your documents or metadata once the task finishes, keeping your workflow private.
