What is Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools.

With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like FileToPDF.dev through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the FileToPDF.dev MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The FileToPDF.dev MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your FileToPDF.dev account. It provides structured and secure access to document conversion and account status, so your agent can turn files, HTML, and Markdown into PDFs, and check your remaining conversion credits on your behalf.

  • File URL conversion: Have your agent convert a file hosted at a public HTTPS URL into a downloadable PDF.
  • HTML document creation: Let the agent render an HTML string as a PDF you can download and share.
  • Markdown publishing: Direct your agent to turn GitHub-Flavored Markdown into a polished PDF document.
  • Account and credit checks: Instruct your agent to check your workspace plan, subscription status, and remaining conversion credits without using a credit.
