Pdf Report Generator

pdf-report-generator

An MCP server that generates professional corporate PDF reports from structured JSON specs or raw LLM text output. Drop it into Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) and ask Claude to turn analysis, research, or meeting notes into a polished multi-page report complete with cover page, table of contents, executive summary, section headings, tables, and charts.

A sample output is at examples/sample_report.pdf.

Example prompts

• "Generate a corporate report from this research, add a bar chart for the monthly metrics"
• "Create a CONFIDENTIAL report called 'Security Audit Findings' from this text"
• "List the available report themes"

Troubleshooting

Python not found — ensure python or python3 is on your PATH and is version 3.8+.

reportlab not installed — run pip install reportlab matplotlib.

Charts missing — matplotlib is required for charts. Install it with pip install matplotlib.

Large PDFs — complex specs with many charts can take 5–15 seconds. This is normal.
