Connect pdfrender to your AI client

pdfrender ships a hosted Model Context Protocol server, so an AI assistant can call it directly as a tool. The endpoint is streamable HTTP — there is nothing to install or run locally:

https://pdfrender.dev/mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http pdfrender https://pdfrender.dev/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor

VS Code

Add to VS Code (or open via vscode.dev)

Windsurf, Cline, Claude Desktop and everything else

Paste this into the client's MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdfrender": {
      "url": "https://pdfrender.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Authentication

Anonymous calls work at a lower rate limit, so the server is usable the moment it is installed. To raise limits, add your API key as an X-API-Key header in the client's server config — create a key after signing in. tools/list is always open for discovery.
