FAQ from Website to PDF/Markdown MCP Server

What is needed to run the server?

Node.js and npm. After cloning the repo, run npm install, copy .env.example to .env, then start with npm start.

Does the server support authentication?

Yes. You can pass optional username and password fields in the request body. The default implementation assumes a simple username/password form and may need customization for specific sites.

Where does the data live during conversion?

The server converts websites on-demand and returns the generated PDF or Markdown content directly in the response body. It does not store the documents or website data permanently.

How many pages can be traversed at once?

The traversal is limited by the optional maxPages parameter, which defaults to 10. You can adjust this value in the request body.

How are the API endpoints exposed to Claude?

This MCP server is designed as a Managed Claude Plugin. You self-host it on a publicly accessible HTTPS URL, then install it in Claude by providing that URL. Claude automatically discovers the endpoints and creates the plugin interface.
