@rendoc/mcp-server

The rendoc MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible client generate professional PDF documents on demand. Connect your AI to rendoc and it can create invoices, contracts, reports, certificates, and any other PDF — from reusable templates or inline HTML/Handlebars markup — all from a natural language prompt.

Turn "Generate an invoice for Acme Corp, 40 hours of consulting at €85/h" into a delivered PDF in seconds.

Use Cases

See detailed walkthroughs in examples/.

Features

• 7 tools for document generation, template management, and usage tracking
• Template-based or inline — save reusable templates or pass markup on the fly
• Handlebars syntax — use {{variables}}, {{#each}}, {{#if}} in your markup
• Multiple paper sizes — A4, Letter, Legal, A3, A5, portrait or landscape
• Schema validation — templates can declare a JSON Schema so the AI can't pass invalid data
• Zero config — just set RENDOC_API_KEY and go
• Lightweight — ~35 KB unpacked, pure TypeScript, only 2 runtime dependencies
• Verified on Glama — security, quality, and license checks passed

Quick Setup for Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rendoc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@rendoc/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "RENDOC_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The rendoc tools will appear in the MCP tools menu.

        └── User prompt: "Generate an invoice for..."

The MCP server translates natural language tool calls from your AI assistant into authenticated REST requests to the rendoc API, and returns structured responses with PDF download URLs.
