CloudConvert integration
CloudConvert file conversion API: assemble jobs that chain import, convert and export tasks across more than two hundred file formats, follow the progress of every task, and read the temporary download URL of each produced file. Work is asynchronous, so a job is accepted immediately and its tasks move through waiting and processing before they finish. This integration covers jobs, tasks, the standalone import, convert and export task endpoints, the blocking wait endpoints and the account credit balance.
Common CloudConvert use cases
- inspecting each step of a job
- getting an export URL in one step
- converting a small file in one step
- converting an imported document to PDF
- converting an uploaded document to PDF
- finding a recent conversion by its tag
- waiting for an individual conversion step
- retrieving the PDF produced by a conversion
- recovering from a transient conversion failure
- stopping a conversion that is no longer needed
What you can do with CloudConvert
Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.
Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use CloudConvert from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex
Connect CloudConvert in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its CloudConvert operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.
claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"
[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"{
"mcpServers": {
"livecontext": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect CloudConvert once
Add your CloudConvert connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
