It\nexposes a single **`create_document`** tool that turns a plain-English document description into a\n**shareable link** which opens in the PDFMakerAPI editor — preview it, edit any field, and download\nthe PDF.\n\nWorks with **Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, VS Code, ChatGPT**, and any\nother MCP client. It's a thin client of the public API at `https://api.pdfmakerapi.com`, so it needs\nno account or credentials of its own.\n\n## What is PDFMakerAPI?\n\nPDFMakerAPI is a PDF template builder and PDF generation API. Instead of hard-coding documents or wrestling with HTML-to-PDF converters that break when your content changes, you design a reusable template once in a visual, no-code editor — placing text, tables, images, and dynamic fields exactly where you want them — then feed it data to produce a finished, editable PDF.\n\nGenerate a single document or thousands. Fill a template in yourself, share a link so anyone completes it in the browser as a fillable PDF form, send JSON to the REST API, trigger generation from no-code tools like Zapier, Make, and n8n, or create documents straight from AI agents like Claude and ChatGPT. Prefer to start from a prompt? Describe what you need and let Quill build it.\n\nTeams use PDFMakerAPI for invoices, receipts, certificates, reports, and contracts — anything you'd otherwise rebuild by hand every time the data changes. Start building free with 100 PDFs a month.\n\n## Quick install\n\n**One-click:**\n\n[](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=pdfmakerapi&config=eyJjb21tYW5kIjoibnB4IiwiYXJncyI6WyIteSIsIkBwZGZtYWtlcmFwaS9tY3AiXX0=) [](https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=pdfmakerapi&config=%7B%22command%22%3A%22npx%22%2C%22args%22%3A%5B%22-y%22%2C%22%40pdfmakerapi%2Fmcp%22%5D%7D)\n\n**Or add the same config manually** (works in every desktop client):\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"pdfmakerapi\": {\n \"command\": \"npx\",\n \"args\": [\"-y\", \"@pdfmakerapi/mcp\"]\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n## Setup by client\n\n\nClaude Desktop
\n\nSettings → Developer → Edit Config (`claude_desktop_config.json`), add the `mcpServers` block above, and restart Claude.\n\n \n\n\nCursor
\n\nUse the **Add to Cursor** button, or add the block to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (per-project).\n\n \n\n\nWindsurf
\n\nAdd the block to `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` (or via Settings → Cascade → MCP).\n\n \n\n\nCline
\n\nCline → MCP Servers → Configure, and add the `mcpServers` block.\n\n \n\n\nVS Code
\n\nUse the **Install in VS Code** button, or add to `.vscode/mcp.json` (note: VS Code uses a `servers` key):\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": {\n \"pdfmakerapi\": { \"command\": \"npx\", \"args\": [\"-y\", \"@pdfmakerapi/mcp\"] }\n }\n}\n```\n\n \n\n\nZed
\n\nIn `settings.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n \"context_servers\": {\n \"pdfmakerapi\": { \"command\": { \"path\": \"npx\", \"args\": [\"-y\", \"@pdfmakerapi/mcp\"] } }\n }\n}\n```\n\n \n\n## Hosted (remote) option — no install\n\nIf your client supports remote MCP servers, just point it at the hosted endpoint — no `npx`, no Node:\n\n```\nhttps://api.pdfmakerapi.com/mcp\n```\n\n- **Claude.ai (web):** Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL.\n- **ChatGPT (Plus/Pro/Enterprise):** Settings → Connectors → add the URL.\n- **Cursor / others:** add `{ \"url\": \"https://api.pdfmakerapi.com/mcp\" }` instead of `command`/`args`.\n\n## Usage\n\nAsk your assistant for a document:\n\n> *\"Make a professional invoice for Acme with 3 line items.\"*\n> *\"Create a course completion certificate.\"*\n> *\"Build a clean one-page resume.\"*\n\nIt calls `create_document` and returns a link like `https://app.pdfmakerapi.com/d/` — open it to\npreview, edit any field, and download the PDF.\n\n## Configuration\n\n| Env var | Default | Purpose |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `PDFMAKERAPI_BASE_URL` | `https://api.pdfmakerapi.com` | Point at a different API (e.g. `http://localhost:3001` for local dev). |\n\n## Develop\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/GerardoBarrera/pdfmakerapi-mcp.git\ncd pdfmakerapi-mcp\nnpm install\nnpm run build # compile to dist/\nnpm run dev # run from source (tsx)\n```\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n- **Server doesn't appear in your client** — restart the client after editing its MCP config, and check the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). For remote clients, confirm the URL is exactly `https://api.pdfmakerapi.com/mcp`.\n- **`npx` fails to start** — ensure Node.js 18+ is installed (`node -v`), then retry `npx -y @pdfmakerapi/mcp@latest`.\n- **Connection / timeout on the remote endpoint** — verify your network/proxy allows HTTPS to `api.pdfmakerapi.com`, and that you're using the Streamable HTTP transport.\n- **\"Document is too large\"** — documents are capped at ~1 MB of JSON; trim large tables or split into multiple documents.\n- **The returned link won't open** — copy the full link (it ends in a document ID); if it 404s, generate the document again.\n- **Still stuck?** — open a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/GerardoBarrera/pdfmakerapi-mcp/issues) or email support@pdfmakerapi.com.\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n",
