Tool Pantry MCP Server
An MCP server for Tool Pantry — 216 free browser tools for PDF, images, video, audio and text that process files entirely in the user's browser. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, no watermark and no file-size limit.
The server has two jobs:
search_tools — find the exact tool page for a request ("compress image to 100kb", "merge pdf", "heic to jpg") so an agent can hand over a working link instead of generic advice.
- Small stateless helpers — text stats, hashing, UUIDs, passwords, JSON formatting, Base64, colour conversion and QR codes, all served by the same public API.
Zero dependencies, ~200 lines, runs on any Node 18+.

Use it over HTTP
The same server runs on Cloudflare Workers at https://mcp.toolpantry.app/mcp (streamable HTTP, stateless):
https://mcp.toolpantry.app/ returns a small health/capability JSON.

Every tool is a thin wrapper over the public, key-free API at https://toolpantry.app/api — the same endpoints are documented in the API reference. Point the server somewhere else with TOOLPANTRY_API=https://toolpantry.app/api.
Why a tool directory needs an MCP server
Most "AI tool" directories are chat boxes. A file task is not a chat task: the agent should not ask the user to upload a passport scan to a stranger's server. Tool Pantry's whole premise is that the work happens in the user's own tab, so the agent's job is only to pick the right URL and hand it over.
