Frequently asked questions

What tool does the server provide?

The server provides one tool called `convert_md_to_pdf`, which accepts a `markdown_text` parameter (string) and converts it to a PDF file.

How do I specify where PDF files are saved?

Set the `PDF_OUTPUT_DIR` environment variable to your desired output folder. If not set, PDFs are saved to the user’s home directory.

What does the conversion result look like?

The tool returns a JSON string containing a resource link with fields: `type` (always `"resource_link"`), `uri` (file URI of the PDF), `name` (UUID-based filename), `mimeType` (`"application/pdf"`), and `annotations` (metadata including audience, priority, and last modified timestamp).

How do I run this MCP server?

Use the command `uvx --from md2pdf-mcp md2pdf` in your terminal or configure it in your MCP client’s `mcpServers` configuration with the same command and optional environment variables.
