FileToPDF.dev for AI agents

FileToPDF.dev converts files, HTML, and Markdown into PDF documents through a simple API for developers who need PDF output without building a rendering pipeline themselves. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.
