MCP for AI assistants

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants print with the same engine, through ReflowPDF's MCP server.

ReflowPDF is a remote MCP server, over Streamable HTTP, at https://app.reflowpdf.com/mcp. An assistant connected to it prints HTML and templates as PDF, opens documents in the editor and imports PDFs; each print answers with a PDF link and an edit link.

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code each add it in their own settings: Connect AI assistants shows where, with prompts to start from.

Without an account, and with one#

Without an account it prints every page, each with a small ReflowPDF mark. With one, its prints count to your plan as the editor's do: ask the assistant to connect your account (it signs in with OAuth), or give it a key made under Connect AI assistants in the account menu.

Such a key has the assistant scope alone: it opens the MCP server and none of the API's routes, and an API key without assistant does not open the MCP server (Authentication).

Its tools#
