## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-01.

- **Endpoint Security**: 89/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, but the challenge carries no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 537 tokens (~107/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 50/100
  - Stability observed for 15 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 92/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 75% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

### How do I install the com.filetypeconverters/converter MCP server?

com.filetypeconverters/converter is a hosted endpoint at https://filetypeconverters.com/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

## MCP tools (5)

### `list_formats` (~42 tokens)

List every file format this converter reads or writes (id, name, extensions, family). Use the id values as `from`/`to` in other tools.

### `check_conversion` (~95 tokens)

Check whether one format can be converted to another before sending a file. Returns the engine, whether AI Deep Read is needed, the options it accepts, and alternatives when the pair is not supported. Formats accept ids (docx), extensions (jpeg) or common names (word, excel).

Input parameters:

- `from` (string, required): Source format, e.g. pdf
- `to` (string, required): Target format, e.g. docx

### `list_conversions` (~55 tokens)

List supported target formats for a source format (or every source that can produce a target). Returns compact {from,to,slug,engine,mode} rows.

Input parameters:

- `from` (string)
- `to` (string)

### `convert_file` (~246 tokens)

Convert a file. Provide the content as base64 OR a public https URL. `from` is optional when the filename/URL has an extension. Text outputs (Markdown, CSV, JSON, HTML…) up to 200 KB are returned inline as `text`; other outputs are returned as `base64` plus a `downloadUrl` that accepts the same bearer token. Max 10 MB per file. Set `deepRead: true` to read scans, photos and handwriting with AI Deep Read (1 credit per page).

Input parameters:

- `base64` (string): File bytes, base64-encoded
- `deepRead` (boolean): Use AI Deep Read (OCR + layout understanding) for PDFs and images
- `filename` (string): Original filename with extension, e.g. report.pdf
- `from` (string): Source format id; detected from the filename when omitted
- `options` (object): Engine options from check_conversion (delimiter, sheet, quality, …)
- `to` (string, required): Target format id, e.g. md, docx, xlsx, png
- `url` (string): Public https URL of the file (alternative to base64)

### `get_conversion` (~42 tokens)

Fetch a previous conversion by id: status, warnings, and the output (inline text or base64) if it is still retained.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required)

### Is the com.filetypeconverters/converter MCP server safe to use?

com.filetypeconverters/converter scores 82 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the com.filetypeconverters/converter MCP server expose?

com.filetypeconverters/converter exposes 5 tools: list_formats, check_conversion, list_conversions, convert_file, get_conversion. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 480 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the com.filetypeconverters/converter MCP server require authentication?

Yes. com.filetypeconverters/converter asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

### Is the com.filetypeconverters/converter MCP server still maintained?

com.filetypeconverters/converter is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 1 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
