# FileToPDF.dev — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your FileToPDF.dev account and use 4 tools for documents straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. Convert files, HTML, and Markdown into PDF documents through the FileToPDF.dev API.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_filetopdf?ms=1787291220000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `filetopdf_convert_file_url_to_pdf`).
