Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote PDFShift server that lets an assistant convert HTML or a URL into PDF, PNG, JPEG or WEBP, manage HTML templates, and check credits and logs.

What you can do
  • Convert an HTML document or URL into PDF, PNG, JPEG or WEBP and get a temporary download link
  • Create, list, read, update and delete reusable HTML templates
  • Render a saved template to HTML or a document format, passing template variables and conversion options
  • Check account credit usage and list available plans and pricing
  • List recent conversion logs and fetch a single log by request id
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to turn web pages or HTML into PDFs or images, or to render and maintain reusable document templates without running a local rendering stack. Also handy for checking remaining credits and reviewing past conversions.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at api.pdfshift.io over streamable HTTP; no package or local runtime is needed. No authentication is declared in the manifest, but template, credit, pricing and log tools act on an account, so a PDFShift account and its credentials are likely required. Network access is needed.
Before you install
Conversions consume PDFShift credits, which are paid plans, so repeated use can cost money. Template tools create, update and delete data in the account. Download URLs returned by conversions are temporary and expire after about two days. Account-level tools expose credit usage and conversion logs.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open PDFShift in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.cnicodeme%2Fpdfshift/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
