url-to-pdf — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can url-to-pdf do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: list_capabilities, url_to_extract, url_to_markdown, url_to_pdf, url_to_screenshot. 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 url-to-pdf 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 224 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect url-to-pdf?

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 url-to-pdf need an API key?

No. url-to-pdf completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is url-to-pdf?

It answers our handshake in 224 ms on average, which is faster than 73% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is url-to-pdf open source?

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