Pdfgate MCP server

What it does

This MCP server exposes the PDFGate API for PDF generation, document management, and e-signature workflows. It is for developers building AI assistants that need to create PDFs, process documents, collect signatures, and manage document lifecycle events.

• Generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, then store and retrieve them through the API.
• Create signing envelopes, send them to recipients for e-signature, and track completion status via webhooks.
• Extract form data from fillable PDFs, add interactive form fields, compress, protect with passwords, or watermark documents.

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.
