Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check FileForge every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

pdf

pdf_form_fill

Fill the fields of a fillable PDF form and return the completed form. Input: the PDF's contents as a base64-encoded string, plus a fields object mapping field names to values. Unknown field names are rejected with a list of the form's real fields. Checkboxes accept true/false; radio groups take the chosen option's name; dropdowns take one of their defined choices. Set flatten=true to bake values in so they can no longer be edited. Returns a download_url for the filled PDF (link valid 24 hours). Costs 1 credit; 5 free calls per month.

pdf_tables_to_excel

Extract all tables detected in a PDF into an Excel (.xlsx) workbook, one worksheet per table. Input: the PDF file's contents as a base64-encoded string (max 25 MB, 500 pages; tables need visible ruling lines or clearly aligned columns). Returns a download_url for the .xlsx file (link valid 24 hours) plus the table count. Costs 1 credit; 5 free calls per month.

images

images_to_pdf

Combine one or more images (PNG/JPEG/WebP) into a single PDF, one image per page, pages sized to each image. Input: a list of base64-encoded image contents (each max 15 MB / 40 MP). Returns a download_url for the PDF (link valid 24 hours), its size and page count. Costs 1 credit; 5 free calls per month.

merge

merge_pdfs

Merge two or more PDF files into a single PDF, in the order given. Input: a list of base64-encoded PDF file contents (each max 25 MB / 500 pages). Returns a download_url for the merged PDF (link valid 24 hours), its size and page count. Costs 1 credit; 5 free calls per month.

FileForge — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can FileForge do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: images_to_pdf, merge_pdfs, pdf_form_fill, pdf_tables_to_excel. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is FileForge working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 28 of 28 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 401 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect FileForge?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does FileForge need an API key?

No. FileForge completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is FileForge?

It answers our handshake in 401 ms on average, which is faster than 33% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is FileForge open source?

We cannot say either way: written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
