Convert PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, EPUB, HEIC & images — 35+ tools from convertica.net

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant run Convertica's 35+ document and image conversions, such as PDF to Word, PDF merging and HEIC to JPG.

What you can do
List available converters with their file fields and options, to find the right converter slug first. Run a chosen converter on local files, with tool-specific options and an optional output directory. Convert between PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, HTML, Markdown, Text and EPUB, and to PDF/A. Merge, split, compress, rotate, crop, watermark, sign, protect or unlock PDFs. Convert, optimize and turn HEIC images into JPG, PNG or PDF, and render a URL as a PDF.
When to use it
Useful when you want document or image format conversions done from inside the assistant without opening a separate web tool, for example turning a downloaded PDF into Word, combining several PDFs, or converting phone photos.
Requirements
Runs locally via npx from the npm package convertica-mcp (Node.js needed). Requires a Convertica API key in the CONVERTICA_API_KEY environment variable, obtained from a paid Convertica subscription. Network access is needed because conversions run over HTTPS.
Before you install
The API key is a secret passed in the environment; keep it out of shared configs. Conversions are metered against a monthly plan quota, so usage may cost money. Input files are uploaded to Convertica's servers for processing, though the README says they are deleted after the response. Results are written to local disk next to the input unless output_dir is set.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

MCP tools

The server exposes two tools.

list_converters

Lists all 35+ Convertica converters with their file fields and options. Call this first to find the right tool slug for convert_file. Takes no input.

json
{ "type": "object", "properties": {} }

convert_file

Runs one of convertica.net's 35+ conversion tools on local file(s) and saves the result next to the input (or into output_dir). Requires authentication via the CONVERTICA_API_KEY env var.

json
{  "type": "object",  "required": ["tool"],  "properties": {    "tool": { "type": "string", "description": "Converter slug from list_converters, e.g. pdf-to-word or pdf-organize/merge" },    "files": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "string" }, "description": "Absolute paths of input file(s); order matters for multi-file tools" },    "options": { "type": "object", "description": "Tool-specific options as listed by list_converters, e.g. {angle: 90}" },    "output_dir": { "type": "string", "description": "Directory to save the result (default: alongside the first input file)" }  }}

Supported conversions include: PDF ⇄ Word / Excel / PowerPoint / JPG / HTML / Markdown / Text / EPUB, PDF → PDF/A, HTML / URL → PDF, merge / split / compress / rotate / crop / watermark / sign / protect / unlock PDF, image convert / optimize / HEIC → JPG·PNG·PDF, and more. Full list via list_converters or at convertica.net.

Setup and API key

You need a Convertica API key: subscribe at convertica.net/pricing, then create a key at convertica.net/users/api-keys. API docs: convertica.net/api/docs.

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add convertica -e CONVERTICA_API_KEY=cvk_live_... -- npx -y convertica-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "convertica": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "convertica-mcp"],      "env": { "CONVERTICA_API_KEY": "cvk_live_..." }    }  }}

Usage notes

  • Files are read from and written to your local disk; results are saved next to the input file unless you pass output_dir.
  • Conversions run synchronously over HTTPS; processed files are deleted from Convertica's servers right after the response (details).
  • API calls are metered against your plan's monthly quota; failed calls are not counted.
