Details
From the project READMECraftMyPDF MCP by usefulapi
Use CraftMyPDF from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — templates, versions, usage and transactions, plus PDF and image generation and PDF merges. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own CraftMyPDF credentials.
Live endpoint: https://craftmypdf.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/craftmypdf
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://craftmypdf.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http craftmypdf https://craftmypdf.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"craftmypdf": {
"url": "https://craftmypdf.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
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, and the login page asks for your CraftMyPDF credentials.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
