MCP server for Convertica — convert PDF ⇄ Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, HTML, Markdown, EPUB, PDF/A, merge/split/compress/protect PDFs and convert
If you already use Convertica, the convertica mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. MCP server for Convertica — convert PDF ⇄ Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, HTML, Markdown, EPUB, PDF/A, merge/split/compress/protect PDFs and convert images (HEIC, WebP, …) straight from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client.
Lists all 35+ Convertica converters with their file fields and options. Call this first to find the right tool slug for convert_file. Takes no input.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
list_converters — Lists all 35+ Convertica converters with their file fields and options. Call this first to find the right tool slug for convert_file. Takes no inputconvert_file — Runs one of convertica.net's 35+ conversion tools on local file(s) and saves the result next to the input (or into output_dir). RequiresConfiguration is passed through the environment: CONVERTICA_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
The server ships on npm as convertica-mcp, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Convertica's toolset — list_converters, convert_file — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by convertica-net; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
