What it does
This MCP server exposes ChangeThisFile's file conversion and processing tools, supporting 1,000+ conversion routes across images, videos, audio, documents, data formats, fonts, ebooks, and archives. It also provides document translation, table extraction, PDF/image/video compression, and natural-language file routing for developers building with MCP clients.
- Convert files between formats (e.g. DOCX to PDF, MP4 to MP3, PNG to WEBP) by passing a URL or base64 content.
- Extract tables from PDFs or images into Excel format with preview and checkout options.
- Translate documents while preserving layout, with free preview and one-time purchase for full output.

Before you enable it
An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
