PDF4me integration
PDF4me document processing API: convert office documents, HTML and web pages to PDF, turn a PDF back into Word, run OCR on a scan to make it searchable, merge documents, stamp text onto pages, compress a file, fill a fillable form and generate barcode images. Every call takes its input as base64 text inside the JSON body and answers with the produced file itself rather than with a link to it. Requests authenticate with an API key sent in the Authorization header behind the word Basic.

What you can do with PDF4me
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.

Connect PDF4me in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its PDF4me 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"
}
