Integration

ConvertAPI integration

ConvertAPI file conversion: turn a document, spreadsheet, presentation, image or web page into another format, render HTML or a live URL to PDF, merge, split, compress, rotate, protect and OCR PDFs, extract text, and capture web pages as images. Files are uploaded in the request and the converted bytes come straight back, with an option to store them behind temporary download URLs instead.

What you can do with ConvertAPI

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 ConvertAPI from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect ConvertAPI in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its ConvertAPI operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step
