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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: RESOURCE_STORE_URI (Resource store URI for generated PDF files (file://)), PORT (HTTP server port (overrides --port)), BASE_URL (Base URL for HTTP transport (used for file links)), LOG_LEVEL (Logging level). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

PDF Generator — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for PDF Generator?

PDF Generator runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @mcp-z/mcp-pdf was installed 370 times last week.

How do I connect PDF Generator?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @mcp-z/mcp-pdf straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use PDF Generator?

The npm package @mcp-z/mcp-pdf was installed 370 times in the last week. Week over week that is -24%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
