MCP server

Let your AI agent create PDFs directly. Remote MCP server, Streamable HTTP transport:

https://html-pdf.com/mcp

Auth: OAuth 2.1. Clients like Claude.ai, ChatGPT and Claude Code open an html-pdf.com login when you connect, so there is no key to copy. You can also send the header Authorization: Bearer hp_live_..., or use https://html-pdf.com/mcp?api_key=hp_live_... in clients that only accept a URL.

No key yet? You don't need one. Add the server URL and your client opens an html-pdf.com login. New accounts get 100 free credits.

Tools

tool	what it does
`html_to_pdf`	Render HTML to PDF. Returns a download URL (valid 24h), page count and credits left. Same options as the API: `html`, `filename`, `format`, `landscape`, `margin`, `css`, `header_html`, `footer_html`, `print_background`, `media`, `wait_delay`, `max_pages`.
`url_to_pdf`	Render a public web page (`url`) to PDF. Same options as `html_to_pdf` except `html`/`css`.
`get_credits`	Remaining credits, top-up link and auto top-up status.
`buy_credits`	Create a Stripe payment link for a credit pack (`usd`: 10, 25, 50, 100, 250) to give to the user.
`set_auto_topup`	Turn auto top-up on or off (`enabled`, `threshold`, `usd`) after the first purchase. The owner is emailed about every change.
