Generate PDFs from web content

Your agent can turn raw HTML, Markdown, or live URLs into professional documents using `convert_html_to_pdf`, `convert_markdown_to_pdf`, or `convert_url_to_pdf`. This lets you archive web research or generate reports on the fly. The tool returns base64 encoded data, so your agent can immediately pass the binary output to other file-handling tools or store it directly in your cloud storage buckets.

Automate document manipulation

Stop manual file handling by using `merge_pdfs` and `split_pdf` to organize your documentation assets. Your agent handles the logic, ensuring files are combined or separated exactly when the workflow requires it. You can also use `embed_pdf_attachments` to append supporting documentation to your primary reports without leaving the agent's execution context.

Manage PDF metadata and bookmarks

Ensure your generated reports are searchable and compliant by using `write_pdf_metadata` and `write_pdf_bookmarks` to inject custom tags. Your agent can read existing structures with `read_pdf_metadata` before making any changes. This level of control ensures every file generated by your MCP Server meets your specific internal naming and indexing requirements.

Setup guide

Set up Gotenberg MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Gotenberg tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Gotenberg tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Gotenberg tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="Gotenberg Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Gotenberg tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
