Key Capabilities
Shared Gotenberg Tools for Teams
Commit your server configuration to `.vscode/mcp.json` so every developer on your team has access to the same tools. Use `merge_pdfs` or `split_pdf` to standardize how your team handles document processing. This makes your PDF generation workflow repeatable across different machines. No one has to set up their own environment manually.
Automate Documentation with Gotenberg
Convert your project's Markdown files to PDF automatically using `convert_markdown_to_pdf`. This ensures your technical specs are always up to date and ready for stakeholders. Your agent can run this as part of your local build cycle. It turns your documentation into professional-grade files with minimal effort.
Verify PDF Health and Versions
Monitor your PDF generation pipeline using `get_health` and `get_version`. These tools provide immediate feedback on whether your service is ready to handle document requests. It’s a quick way to check your infrastructure status without leaving the editor. If something goes wrong, you’ll know exactly which version is running.
