PaperType

Overview

PaperType is a Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants render Markdown, HTML, and invoice/certificate/report templates directly to PDF files through the PaperType API. Any MCP-compatible client can invoke PaperType's tools in conversation or agent workflows, with the model choosing when to deploy them.

The server runs locally via the npm package papertype-mcp, communicating over stdio on your machine. Installation is straightforward with npx -y papertype-mcp, and you'll need to provide your PAPERTYPE_API_KEY as an environment variable. The latest release is v0.1.0, available from https://papertype.dev/docs.

PaperType is categorized as File System on mcp.site and integrates with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others.
