hushvert

A real run in Claude Code, recorded live and not sped up: ask, andreport.pdfis written next to the input. The whole turn took 23 seconds, of which the conversion itself was about 7.

Claude Code can already convert files. Why this?

Because it can only convert what your machine can convert, and when it cannot, it does not fail loudly.

Ask any coding agent to turnreport.docxinto a PDF. If LibreOffice is installed, it will shell out tosoffice, do a good job, and you do not need this server. If LibreOffice is not installed, and it is not there by default on macOS, on Windows, or in a typical CI image, the usual fallback is pandoc. Pandoc does not really convert a Word document. It reads the text into its own AST, hands that to LaTeX, and LaTeX typesets a new document. You get a PDF. The agent reports success. Nobody opens the file.

Here is the samereport.docxdown both paths:

Same words, different document. Every font in the pandoc PDF is Latin Modern, LaTeX's default. The heading color is gone, the table lost its Word styling, and the title moved into a centered LaTeX title block.pdffontson the two outputs:

pandoc LMRoman17-Regular, LMRoman12-Bold, LMRoman10-Italic, ... hushvert Carlito-Regular, Carlito-Bold, Carlito-Italic

Carlito is metric-compatible with Calibri, which is what the document actually asked for. Latin Modern is not.

- If LibreOffice is installed and your agent reaches for it, you do not need this server.That is a real answer, and it is the right one for a lot of people.
- If it is not installed, this is one line of config instead of a 281 MB download, and it behaves the same on your laptop, in CI, in a container, and on a machine you are not allowed to install software on.
- Name the tool if it matters. On a machine that had both this server and pandoc available, we asked the plain way ("convert report.docx to PDF") twice: Claude Code usedconvert_fileonce and pandoc the other time, and the two runs produced the two documents above. Which tool an agent reaches for is its call, not ours. "Convert report.docx to PDF with hushvert" pins it.

Claude Code- one line, no file to edit:

claude mcp add hushvert -e HUSHVERT_API_KEY=hv_live_your_key_here -- npx -y @hushvert/mcp

Cursor, Cline, Zed, and other MCP hosts(or Claude Code, if you prefer a committed project config) - add this block to the host's MCP config (.mcp.json,.cursor/mcp.json, and so on):

input_path (required) path to the source file to (required) target format, e.g. "pdf", "docx", "mp4" from (optional) source format; inferred from the extension otherwise output_path (optional) where to write; defaults beside the input. Required to overwrite. wait_seconds (optional) max seconds to wait before handing back a jobId to poll. Default 120. idempotency_key (optional) makes a retried conversion safe (same job, charged once)

Returns{ output_path, jobId, pair, bytesIn, bytesOut, status }. If the job is still running afterwait_seconds(typical for large video), it returns{ jobId, status: "processing", resumeWith: "convert_poll" }; callconvert_pollwith thejobIdand anoutput_pathto finish.

The server-only formats a browser cannot do:

- Office to PDF: docx, pptx, xlsx, doc, ppt, xls, odt, ods, odp, rtf, html to pdf
- PDF to Word: pdf to docx
- Document interchange: md, html, epub, latex, rst, docx (via pandoc)
- Video: mov, mkv, avi, webm to mp4 (and mp4 to gif)
