PDFMakerAPI MCP server

An MCP server for PDFMakerAPI. It exposes a single create_document tool that turns a document description into a shareable link which opens in the PDFMakerAPI editor — preview, edit any field, and download the PDF.

Works with any MCP client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, etc.

It's a thin client of the public API at https://api.pdfmakerapi.com, so it needs no server, account, or credentials of its own.

What it does

The create_document tool accepts a PDFMakerAPI Document (invoice, certificate, report, resume, letter, …) built by the calling model, stores it via POST /api/v1/documents, and returns a link like https://app.pdfmakerapi.com/d/<id>.

Use it

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdfmakerapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pdfmakerapi/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop, then ask: "Make a professional invoice for Acme with 3 line items."

Cursor / Windsurf / Cline / Zed

Add the same server to the client's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdfmakerapi": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@pdfmakerapi/mcp"] }
  }
}
