Summary
Turns HTML content into polished PDFs without leaving your terminal. You describe what you want in a prompt (documentation, reports, architecture diagrams) and it handles the rendering and conversion through the PDFCrowd API. Works out of the box with a watermark, or connect your PDFCrowd credentials for clean output. Your source code stays local. Only the rendered HTML gets sent for PDF generation. Useful when you need to package up code analysis, project documentation, or data visualizations into a shareable format without manually wrangling layout tools. Supports stdio transport and runs via npx, so setup is minimal across Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.

Claude Code
Option A — Install as a plugin (Recommended):
/plugin marketplace add pdfcrowd/pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export
/plugin install pdfcrowd-export-pdf@pdfcrowd
Option B — Register the MCP server:
claude mcp add --scope user pdfcrowd-export-pdf -- npx -y pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export
Or add the equivalent JSON to ~/.claude.json (user scope) or .mcp.json (project scope):
{
"mcpServers": {
"pdfcrowd-export-pdf": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export"]
}
}
}
Codex CLI
codex mcp add pdfcrowd-export-pdf -- npx -y pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export
Or add manually to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.pdfcrowd-export-pdf]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export"]
Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add -s user pdfcrowd-export-pdf npx -y pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export
Or add manually to ~/.gemini/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pdfcrowd-export-pdf": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export"]
}
}
}
Notes
- Restart your CLI after configuration to load the server
