The rendoc MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible client generate professional PDF documents on demand. Connect your AI to rendoc and it can create invoices, contracts, reports, certificates, and any other PDF — from reusable templates or inline HTML/Handlebars markup — all from a natural language prompt.
Turn "Generate an invoice for Acme Corp, 40 hours of consulting at €85/h" into a delivered PDF in seconds.
Use Cases
| Use Case | Example Prompt |
|---|---|
| Invoices | "Generate an invoice for client X with these line items..." |
| Contracts | "Draft a freelance contract for TechStart SL, €18,000 fee, 50% upfront..." |
| Certificates | "Issue a course completion certificate for María González..." |
| Reports | "Create a March 2026 sales report with these KPIs..." |
| Bulk generation | "Generate certificates for all 50 attendees in this CSV" |
| Custom documents | Anything you can describe in HTML + data |
See detailed walkthroughs in examples/.
