Pdfcrowd MCP for AI. Convert web content, PDFs, and raw data into any format.

Q: How do I convert a URL to PDF using converthtmltopdf?

You pass the full URL or raw HTML string to converthtmltopdf. The tool returns base64 encoded data, meaning your agent gets the complete PDF file ready for download.

Q: Is convertpdftotext better than converting to HTML?

It depends on what you need. convertpdftotext strips everything down to raw text, which is best if you just want to search or analyze content word-for-word. If you need tables and layout for analysis, use convertpdftohtml.

Q: How do I capture a specific section of a web page? (converthtmltoimage)

You pass the URL or HTML. The converthtmltoimage tool lets you specify viewport dimensions and captures that exact visual area as a PNG, JPG, or WebP image.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 5 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

The Struggle of Document Conversion

Right now, if you have a PDF and need to analyze the data inside, you often resort to copy-pasting. You get messy text that loses table structure, or worse—you lose key information altogether because the original formatting was too complex for simple paste functions.

With this server, your agent handles it cleanly. If you run `convert_pdf_to_text`, you get pure, searchable data. But if you need to keep the columns and layout intact while extracting that info, use `convert_pdf_to_html`. You keep the structure without losing the content.

Generate Invoices with generate_business_document

Manually building invoices is a huge time sink. You have to juggle multiple spreadsheets, ensure numbering matches, and manually format every single document so it looks professional—a process that always introduces errors.

Now, you just feed the JSON data into `generate_business_document`. The agent handles all the formatting rules, generating an accurate, polished PDF invoice instantly. It's done.

What your AI can actually do with this

This server handles everything from turning raw web data into polished documents to generating official paperwork for your AI client. You can feed it anything—a URL, an HTML string, or an existing PDF—and it spits out usable content.

Need a complete document? Use convert_html_to_pdf and pass in an HTML string or a full web address; the agent sends back the base64 data for a finished PDF. If you just need a visual snapshot of what that page looks like, run convert_html_to_image to capture it as a base64 encoded image (PNG, JPG, WebP).

Pulling information out of existing PDFs is straightforward. To strip the document down to raw, searchable text for data analysis, use convert_pdf_to_text. If you need more than just plain words—if your agent needs to analyze structural tags and formatting—you can run convert_pdf_to_html to transform the PDF's content into editable HTML.

Conversely, if you start with clean HTML or a raw web page and want it in a document format, those functions cover it.

When it comes to business records, forget building invoices from scratch. Just send structured JSON data—like item lists, total amounts, or dates—to generate_business_document, and the tool returns a polished, professional PDF invoice or receipt that you can use right away.

Here's how it actually works

The bottom line is your AI client handles all the API calls; you just give it the source material and tell it what format you need at the end.

Subscribe to the server and provide your Pdfcrowd Username and API Key.

Tell your AI agent what you need—for example: 'Convert this URL to a PDF in landscape orientation.'

The agent calls the appropriate tool (e.g., convert_html_to_pdf) and receives the base64 encoded file data, which it passes back to you.

What Changes When You Connect

Instant Report Generation: Don't manually screenshot reports. Use convert_html_to_pdf to turn a live URL or complex HTML into one standardized, high-quality PDF file in seconds.

Structured Data Capture: Need the underlying code structure? Run convert_pdf_to_html. This keeps tables and headings intact when you send the data back to your agent for processing.

Accurate Text Extraction: When all you care about is the text, use convert_pdf_to_text. It strips away headers, footers, and junk formatting, giving you clean text ready for database entry.

Professional Billing Records: Skip template filling. Use generate_business_document to feed JSON (line items, totals) directly into a modern invoice PDF.

Visual Archiving: Need proof of what a page looked like? convert_html_to_image captures precise screenshots at specific viewports and dimensions.

See it in action

01 01

Archiving an old website

The content manager needs to save 50 pages from a site that might go offline. Instead of manually printing each page, they ask their agent to run convert_html_to_pdf on the list of URLs. They end up with 50 standardized PDFs ready for documentation.

02 02

Processing financial statements

The analyst gets a PDF bank statement and needs key figures. Instead of copy-pasting messy text, they ask their agent to use convert_pdf_to_text. This pulls out only the clean numbers and dates for calculation.

03 03

Creating automated invoices

The sales system generates a list of completed tasks in JSON format. The finance team tells the agent to run generate_business_document, which spits out a perfectly formatted, ready-to-send PDF invoice without touching any templates.

04 04

Building developer reports

The dev needs to show a live web feature in a report. Instead of taking a quick, blurry screenshot, they ask the agent to use convert_html_to_image with specific dimensions (e.g., 1280px width) for pixel-perfect inclusion.

The honest tradeoffs

Treating all PDFs the same

Anti-pattern

The user copies text from a complex PDF and pastes it into a spreadsheet. The formatting breaks, columns merge, and critical data points are lost.

The Fix

Don't just copy-paste. If you need to preserve structure (like tables), use convert_pdf_to_html. If you only need the raw text for searching, run convert_pdf_to_text.

Manual invoice creation

Anti-pattern

The finance team spends an hour manually filling out PDF templates with numbers pulled from spreadsheets. This is slow and prone to human entry errors.

The Fix

Use generate_business_document. Feed it the JSON data, and let it generate a perfectly structured, accurate PDF invoice instantly.

Using screenshots for structure

Anti-pattern

A developer takes a screenshot of a web page to include in a report. Zooming in makes the text blurry or unreadable.

The Fix

If you need clean, readable content, use convert_html_to_pdf instead of just taking an image. The PDF preserves text selection and fidelity.

When It Fits, When It Doesn't

Use this server if your workflow involves converting data between formats (HTML <-> PDF) or generating structured documents from raw input (JSON to Invoice). You need a Swiss Army knife for document types.

Don't use this if you just need to read the text content; run convert_pdf_to_text directly. Don't use it if your goal is pure data storage—use a dedicated database tool instead. This server excels at presentation and transformation, not deep, complex logic processing like an accounting system. It handles the file I/O so you can focus on the calculations.

Questions you might have

How do I convert a URL to PDF using convert_html_to_pdf? +

You pass the full URL or raw HTML string to convert_html_to_pdf. The tool returns base64 encoded data, meaning your agent gets the complete PDF file ready for download.

Is convert_pdf_to_text better than converting to HTML? +

It depends on what you need. convert_pdf_to_text strips everything down to raw text, which is best if you just want to search or analyze content word-for-word. If you need tables and layout for analysis, use convert_pdf_to_html.

Can I generate an invoice with multiple line items? (generate_business_document) +

Yes. You provide the structured JSON data containing all your line items, quantities, and rates. The generate_business_document tool compiles this into a single, professional PDF record.

How do I capture a specific section of a web page? (convert_html_to_image) +

You pass the URL or HTML. The convert_html_to_image tool lets you specify viewport dimensions and captures that exact visual area as a PNG, JPG, or WebP image.

What input formats can I use with convert_pdf_to_html? +

You must provide a PDF document file or base64 encoded data. The tool reads the binary structure of the PDF and converts it into standard HTML markup, losing any complex visual elements like non-text backgrounds.

Does convert_html_to_pdf accept raw HTML strings, or must I use a full URL? +

You can use both. If you provide a URL, the service fetches and renders the page first. If you pass a raw HTML string, it processes that exact markup without making any external web requests.

Are there specific parameters I need to set for layout when using convert_html_to_pdf? +

Yes, you control the output structure by passing metadata. You can specify orientation (portrait/landscape), desired page size, and margin requirements to ensure pixel-perfect results.

What happens if I hit a rate limit when using convert_html_to_image? +

If you make too many requests in a short time, the API will return an HTTP 429 error. You'll need to implement exponential backoff or simply pause your calls until the cooldown period expires.

Can I convert a raw HTML string instead of a URL? +

Yes! Use the convert_html_to_pdf or convert_html_to_image tools and provide your HTML code in the text parameter instead of using the url parameter.

How do I generate a professional invoice from my data? +

Use the generate_business_document tool. Provide the document_type as 'invoice', and include your line items, total, and currency in the JSON payload to get a styled PDF.

Is it possible to extract plain text from a PDF file? +

Absolutely. Use the convert_pdf_to_text tool with the URL of your PDF. You can also enable no_layout if you want the text in reading order without layout preservation.
