html

html_to_pdf

Convert HTML and CSS to a PDF document using the WeasyPrint rendering engine. Supports every PDF/A archival level, PDF/UA accessibility and the PDF/X print standards. Best for professional documents: invoices, reports, certificates, contracts, and accessible documents. Also produces **fillable PDF forms** — set pdfForms to true. Send a complete HTML document including <html>, <head> with <style>, and <body> tags. Page geometry comes from the document's own CSS @page rule unless paperSize or orientation is set explicitly. Returns a temporary download URL for the generated PDF (valid for 30 minutes). Requires a paid PdfBroker.io plan (Starter or above). EU-first defaults: A4 paper, Portrait orientation when neither the document nor the caller says otherwise.

html_to_pdf_wk

Convert HTML to PDF using the wkhtmltopdf rendering engine. Supports JavaScript execution and screen-capture style rendering. Good for simple documents, web page snapshots, layouts that rely on JavaScript, and **fillable PDF forms** (set pdfForms to true). Available on all PdfBroker.io plans including the free tier. Does NOT support PDF/A or PDF/UA compliance — use html_to_pdf for compliant documents. Does NOT honour CSS '@page { size: ... }' — page geometry comes from paperSize and orientation; use html_to_pdf when the document's own stylesheet must decide. EU-first defaults: A4 paper, Portrait orientation.

PdfBroker.io — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PdfBroker.io do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: html_to_pdf, html_to_pdf_wk. 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 PdfBroker.io 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 283 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect PdfBroker.io?

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 PdfBroker.io need an API key?

No. PdfBroker.io completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is PdfBroker.io?

It answers our handshake in 283 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use PdfBroker.io?

The npm package @pdfbroker/mcp-server was installed 57 times in the last week. Week over week that is +533%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
