Turn HTML or a live URL into polished PDF and Excel files — hosted downloads, async jobs, history. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"docraptor": {
"url": "https://docraptor.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"docraptor": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://docraptor.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
The login page asks for your DocRaptor API key.
Find it in DocRaptor → Account → API key (docraptor.com). Your key is used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your DocRaptor API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Turn on the DocRaptor connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
docraptor_create_document | write | Create a document (PDF/XLS/XLSX) Generate a PDF or Excel document from HTML (document_content) or a URL (document_url). Exactly one of document_content / document_url is required. By default the document is HOSTED and the tool returns a { download_url } you can fetch — ideal for agents (no large binary in the response). Set hosted:false to get the raw document back as base64, or async:true to enqueue a job and poll docraptor_get_document_status. IMPORTANT: real documents consume account credits (billed). Set test:true to generate a FREE, watermarked document while developing. DocRaptor API: POST /docs. |
docraptor_get_document_status | read | Get async document status Check the status of an asynchronous document created with docraptor_create_document({async:true}). Returns status (queued | working | completed | failed), and when completed a download_url / download_id / number_of_pages. DocRaptor API: GET /status/{status_id}. |
docraptor_list_documents | read | List documents List metadata for documents created on this account, most recent first (paginated). Note: DocRaptor does not retain the rendered files themselves — this returns metadata such as name, type, test flag, and creation time. DocRaptor API: GET /docs.json. |
docraptor_list_ip_addresses | read | List DocRaptor IP addresses List the IP addresses DocRaptor uses to fetch remote assets / document_url. Useful for allowlisting DocRaptor on a firewall or asset host. (DocRaptor notes these change over time — prefer HTTP Basic auth over IP allowlisting for securing assets.) DocRaptor API: GET /ips.json. |
docraptor_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) Report the caller's current free-tier usage this month: calls used, monthly limit, remaining, and whether the cap is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. | |
docraptor_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the DocRaptor tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. | |
docraptor_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited) Subscribe to the Pro plan for UNLIMITED DocRaptor tool calls (the free tier caps monthly usage). Choose monthly ($9/month) or yearly ($90/year — 2 months free) billing. Returns a Stripe Checkout link to open in your browser; after payment your account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
docraptor_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's DocRaptor Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; unlimited calls continue until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run docraptor_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 tool calls / month |
| Pro | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited |
Pro covers this DocRaptor server only. Subscribe with docraptor_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with docraptor_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running docraptor_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by DocRaptor. The server calls the DocRaptor API with your own DocRaptor access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
The login page asks for your DocRaptor API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your DocRaptor API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the DocRaptor API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in DocRaptor.
Yes, if you approve it. 1 of the 4 DocRaptor tools can create or change data. The other 3 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 100 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls, for this DocRaptor server only. Run docraptor_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run docraptor_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run docraptor_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with docraptor_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
