Connect an AI assistant (MCP)

convertere runs a remote Model Context Protocol server, so an AI assistant can convert files, check jobs and read your credit balance for you.

https://convertere.io/api/mcp

The server uses Streamable HTTP. Every connection is bound to one team, and conversions spend that team's credits.

What the assistant can do

Tool	What it does	Costs credits
`convert_file`	Converts a file from a public HTTPS link to another format. Starts a job.	Yes
`get_job_status`	Returns the status of one of your team's jobs, with a download link once it is done.	No
`list_jobs`	Lists your team's recent jobs, newest first.	No
`list_presets`	Lists your team's saved presets.	No
`list_formats`	Lists the supported conversions, optionally filtered.	No
`get_credits`	Returns your team's credit balance.	No
`create_upload_url`	Gives an assistant with shell access a temporary upload URL for a local file.	No

The assistant cannot cancel or delete jobs, create presets, buy credits, or manage keys and webhooks.

convert_file returns an estimate of the credits it reserves. The final charge is reported by get_job_status once the job has finished.

Connect Claude

In Claude, open Settings > Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
Enter https://convertere.io/api/mcp as the URL.
Sign in to convertere, pick a team and approve access.

Custom connectors depend on your Claude plan.

Connect ChatGPT

In ChatGPT, open Settings > Apps & Connectors > Advanced and turn on Developer mode.
Create a connector and paste https://convertere.io/api/mcp.
Sign in to convertere and approve access.

Menu names and availability depend on your plan and app version.

Sign-in connectors (Claude and ChatGPT above) only work once sign-in is enabled for convertere. If the connector cannot sign in, connect with an API key instead, as below.

Connect Claude Code

Claude Code connects with an API key. Create a live key under Dashboard > Settings > API Keys, then run:

claude mcp add --transport http convertere https://convertere.io/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer cvio_live_..."

The key belongs to one team, so the assistant works with that team's jobs, presets and credits. Any other client that can send an Authorization: Bearer header works the same way.

Things you can ask

"Convert https://example.com/report.pdf to docx."
"Which formats can I convert a PNG to?"
"What is the status of my last conversion?"
"How many credits does my team have left?"

Files and privacy

Source files are deleted right after the conversion finishes.
Results are deleted 24 hours after the job finishes, so download them within that time.
Keep API keys secret. Anyone with a key can spend your team's credits.
You can revoke a connected app at any time under Dashboard > Settings > Integrations.
