# PDFDispatch

> PDFDispatch is a PDF API hosted in the EU: HTML, web pages, Markdown and Office files to PDF with one HTTP
> request, plus PDF tools (merge, split, encrypt, PDF/A, Factur-X). AI assistants can use it through the
> hosted MCP server at https://mcp.pdfdispatch.com/mcp.

- API: POST to https://api.pdfdispatch.com/v1/... with the header "Authorization: Bearer pdd_...". The PDF comes back in the answer.
- MCP server: https://mcp.pdfdispatch.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP), the same header. Tools: html_to_pdf, markdown_to_pdf, url_to_pdf, office_to_pdf, merge_pdfs, screenshot, upload_file.
- One successful request or tool call that makes a file is one PDF on the plan. Failed requests cost nothing.
- Free plan: 100 PDFs a month. Keys: https://pdfdispatch.com/app/keys.
