\n\n## Hosted (remote) option — no install\n\nIf your client supports remote MCP servers, just point it at the hosted endpoint — no `npx`, no Node:\n\n```\nhttps://api.pdfmakerapi.com/mcp\n```\n\n- **Claude.ai (web):** Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL.\n- **ChatGPT (Plus/Pro/Enterprise):** Settings → Connectors → add the URL.\n- **Cursor / others:** add `{ \"url\": \"https://api.pdfmakerapi.com/mcp\" }` instead of `command`/`args`.\n\n## Usage\n\nAsk your assistant for a document:\n\n> *\"Make a professional invoice for Acme with 3 line items.\"*\n> *\"Create a course completion certificate.\"*\n> *\"Build a clean one-page resume.\"*\n\nIt calls `create_document` and returns a link like `https://app.pdfmakerapi.com/d/` — open it to\npreview, edit any field, and download the PDF.\n\n## Configuration\n\n| Env var | Default | Purpose |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `PDFMAKERAPI_BASE_URL` | `https://api.pdfmakerapi.com` | Point at a different API (e.g. `http://localhost:3001` for local dev). |\n\n## Develop\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/GerardoBarrera/pdfmakerapi-mcp.git\ncd pdfmakerapi-mcp\nnpm install\nnpm run build # compile to dist/\nnpm run dev # run from source (tsx)\n```\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n- **Server doesn't appear in your client** — restart the client after editing its MCP config, and check the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). For remote clients, confirm the URL is exactly `https://api.pdfmakerapi.com/mcp`.\n- **`npx` fails to start** — ensure Node.js 18+ is installed (`node -v`), then retry `npx -y @pdfmakerapi/mcp@latest`.\n- **Connection / timeout on the remote endpoint** — verify your network/proxy allows HTTPS to `api.pdfmakerapi.com`, and that you're using the Streamable HTTP transport.\n- **\"Document is too large\"** — documents are capped at ~1 MB of JSON; trim large tables or split into multiple documents.\n- **The returned link won't open** — copy the full link (it ends in a document ID); if it 404s, generate the document again.\n- **Still stuck?** — open a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/GerardoBarrera/pdfmakerapi-mcp/issues) or email support@pdfmakerapi.com.\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","changelogMarkdown","videoKey","requiredSecretsJson","publishedAt","priceCents","trialDays","upstream",{"_99":100,"_101":102,"_103":104,"_105":106,"_107":108,"_109":110},"requiredSecrets",[],"tags",[94,95,96,97,98],"assets",[],"stats",{"_92":59,"_93":59},"ratingAvg","reviewCount","ai","claude","invoice","pdf","pdf-generator","topics",[94,95,96,116,117,97,98],"license","MIT","language","JavaScript","registryName","io.github.GerardoBarrera/pdfmakerapi-mcp","homepage","https://pdfmakerapi.com","packages",[111],{"_112":113,"_114":115,"_72":73},"registryType","npm","identifier","@pdfmakerapi/mcp","mcp","model-context-protocol","ENV",{"_120":121,"_122":123,"_124":125},"ENVIRONMENT","production","TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY","0x4AAAAAAB8-rEI2gNDf_QhU","SENTRY_DSN","https://45fd1229f78089d5c3ee78be128030e1@o4510583261757440.ingest.de.sentry.io/4510584253448272"]
