Model Context Protocol

Generate PDFs from your AI agent

Connect Papyr to Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible AI tool. Ask your AI to generate an invoice PDF — it calls Papyr and saves the file. No integration code required.

What you can ask your AI

→Generate an invoice PDF for this order and save it to ./invoices/1042.pdf

→Create a Q4 report PDF from this JSON data

→Make a certificate of completion PDF for Jane Smith — Advanced React course

→Convert this HTML file to PDF and save it next to the source file

→Generate receipts for all orders in this CSV and save them to ./receipts/
