jamalofski/conv2pdf-mcp

Official Model Context Protocol server of the conv2pdf API. Your AI assistant converts Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Pages, images and e-books to PDF, converts PDFs to Word or to images, and merges, compresses, protects, rotates or numbers the PDFs that are on your computer. Processing runs on OVHcloud servers in France: no transfer outside the EU, no US service in the chain.

Installation
1. Create an account on conv2pdf.com. The Dev plan includes 300 free conversions, valid for 12 months; see pricing for the paid plans.
2. Create an API key, which starts with cpdf_live_, in the **Developer** tab of your dashboard. conv2pdf shows it only once, at creation.
3. Add the server to your MCP client, with the key in the CONV2PDF_API_KEY environment variable. It needs Node.js 22 or later.
In Claude Code:
On Windows, put cmd /c before npx.
In Claude Desktop, Cursor and the other clients configured with a JSON file:
Or, in Claude Code, install the plugin: the same server, with a skill that tells the assistant which tool to call, in which order, and what a call costs.
Claude Code asks for the API key when the plugin is enabled, and keeps it in the credential store of the system, not in a settings file. To set it later, run /plugin configure conv2pdf@conv2pdf, or open /plugin, **Installed** tab, conv2pdf, **Configure options**. A server you added by hand with the npx -y conv2pdf-mcp command takes precedence over the one of the plugin.
For another agent that loads SKILL.md skills, add the server as above and take the skill alone: plugin/skills/conv2pdf/SKILL.md in this repository, also listed on Agensi.
Then ask for what you need: "convert report.docx to PDF", "merge these three PDFs", "compress scan.pdf and protect it with a password".

How it behaves
- **Files stay on your computer, except for the conversion.** A tool takes the path of a file, sends the file to conv2pdf and writes the result on your disk. conv2pdf checks the content of the file, not only its name.
- **Nothing is overwritten.** The result goes next to the input file: report.docx gives report.pdf, and a PDF tool adds a suffix, such as report-compressed.pdf. When that name is taken, the server writes report (2).pdf. The assistant can choose the place with output_path; if a file is already there, the tool refuses before converting anything.
