Nothing serious here today

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

Document Conversion API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Document Conversion API do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: extract_docx_to_json, extract_pdf_to_json, extract_xlsx_to_json, generate_docx_from_json, generate_pdf_from_json. 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 →
What is Document Conversion API mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around extract and generate. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Document Conversion API working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 305 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Document Conversion API?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own key or an OAuth login: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does Document Conversion API need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, Document Conversion API answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is Document Conversion API?
It answers our handshake in 305 ms on average, which is faster than 56% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Document Conversion API open source?
Yes — written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
