MCP server for terminal commands, file operations, and process management
Nothing to run from here
pdfzen is installed from its publisher's own source and answers where it runs, so this marketplace is not in the path of a single call. There is no address here to send one to, and a panel that pretended otherwise would be showing you an answer we made up. Install it and call it from your own client — the Installation tab has the entry for each one.

Installation
Where are you running it?
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. Nothing here runs on your machine and nothing runs on ours: this server answers at its publisher’s own address, and what you install is the connection straight to it.
Claude Codedeclared by this listing
This is a public server: it answers at its publisher’s own address and this marketplace is not in the path. Claude Code registers it in one command; --scope user makes it available in every project. The transport below is http, as the publisher's own manifest declares it.
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http pdfzen-mcp https://api.pdfzen.site/mcpReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
Free on mcprush, and it answers at its publisher’s own address: this marketplace is not in the path, so there is no key of ours to hold and no card to add.
What it writes
One config entry pointing straight at the publisher’s own address — this marketplace is not in the path, and nothing from this listing executes on your machine.
What you approve
4 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.

List pdfzen's 45 public starter templates — invoices, receipts, contracts, certificates, NDAs, letters, reports, resumes, boarding passes, menus, bank statements, lab reports, lease agreements, performance reviews, and more. Returns an array of { slug, name, description, icon, pageOptions, fonts, dataKeys }. Free, no payment, no auth required. Call this first to discover what fits the user request
No parameter schema on file.
Fetch the full HTML body, CSS, sampleData, and pageOptions for one starter template by slug. Use this when you need to understand the exact shape of data the template expects before calling render_template_to_pdf, or when you want to fork a starter into custom HTML. Free, no payment, no auth required.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | The starter slug. Examples: "invoice", "receipt", "certificate", "contract", "nda", "boarding-pass", "menu". Call list_starters to discover all 45 slugs. |
Prepare a paid PDF render from one of the 45 starter templates. Validates your template + data and returns the exact, ready-to-execute HTTP request to run against pdfzen's render endpoint — POST /v402/render/pdf (x402, $0.006 USDC on Base, no API key) or POST /v1/render/pdf (pdfzen API key, credit-billed). pdfzen renders are executed over HTTP, not streamed in-band over MCP; this tool is the bridg
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| template | string | yes | Slug of the starter to render (e.g. "invoice", "receipt", "certificate"). Call list_starters first if unsure which fits the user request. |
| data | object | no | Handlebars context. Each starter expects a specific shape — call get_starter to see the sampleData and dataKeys for the chosen slug. Your fields merge ON TOP of sampleData, so you can supply only the |
| pageOptions | object | no | Page format/margin/orientation overrides. Defaults come from the starter (most are A4 portrait). Example: { "format": "Letter", "landscape": true }. |
Prepare a paid PDF render from arbitrary Handlebars-flavoured HTML. Use only when no starter fits (one-off layouts, custom branding). Prefer render_template_to_pdf when a starter matches. Validates your HTML and returns the exact, ready-to-execute HTTP request to run against pdfzen's render endpoint — POST /v402/render/pdf (x402, $0.006 USDC on Base, no API key) or POST /v1/render/pdf (pdfzen API
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| html | string | yes | The HTML body. Supports Handlebars {{ }} expressions resolved against data, plus pdfzen helpers ({{barChart}}, {{lineChart}}, {{pageBreak}}, {{#each}}, {{#if eq}}). Don't include <html>/<head>; just |
| css | string | no | Optional CSS injected into the document head. Alternative to inline <style> in html. |
| data | object | no | Handlebars context object resolved against the {{...}} expressions in html. |

No rule-by-rule report on file for this release
Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.
This listing is an address its publisher runs, and you connect to it directly — this marketplace is not in the path. The scanner reads packages and public source, and an address is neither. So there is no grade — not a withheld one, an unmeasured one.

This is an address its publisher runs: which release it serves is theirs to choose, so there is nothing here to pin. The history below is for reading; the current release on file is 1.0.0.

Who can review
One review per account, from a signed-in account that does not publish this listing. Nothing else is asked — you can say what you think before you install it. Publishers can reply once per review, and a review can be edited or deleted by whoever wrote it.
Sign in to write one
Any signed-in account that does not publish pdfzen can review it, once — before installing it or after. A review from an account that has installed it is marked as one.
No reviews yet
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes a signed-in account that does not publish it, and nothing else.
