Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security83
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability80
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1657 tokens (~150/item across 11 items; 10 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management57
- Stability observed for 17 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage88
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 64% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety75
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "delete_template" implies "delete" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
- An AI judge read all 12 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities40
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the com.makespdf/makespdf MCP server?
com.makespdf/makespdf is a hosted endpoint at https://makespdf.com/api/v1/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.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
delete_template ~40
Delete a caller-owned template by ID. Library rows cannot be deleted. Mirrors DELETE /api/v1/templates/:id.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| templateId | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_template ~69
Fetch a single template (library or caller-owned) by ID, including its full DSL source and sampleData. Mirrors GET /api/v1/templates/:id.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| templateId | string | yes | Template ID — slug for library rows (e.g. 'invoice-classic') or UUID for user rows. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_templates ~157
List templates visible to the caller — both curated library templates (no owner) and the caller's own saved templates. Metadata only (no DSL bodies). Paginated. Use `owner: 'mine'` to restrict to your own; `owner: 'library'` for the curated catalog only; default `'all'` returns both. Optional `category`, `tags` (comma-separated, ANDed), and `q` (free-text over name + description) filters apply across both. Mirrors GET /api/v1/templates.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | – |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| offset | integer | – | – |
| owner | string | – | – |
| q | string | – | – |
| tags | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
render_dsl_preview ~108
Render a DSL template + data to a preview PDF. Free (no credits), always watermarked 'PREVIEW — NOT FOR USE'. Returns JSON metadata plus the PDF bytes as an embedded base64 resource. Mirrors POST /api/v1/preview.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| data | object | – | Optional binding data. Falls back to the script's sampleData when omitted. |
| dsl | string | yes | The builder DSL script. |
| title | string | – | Optional document title (shown in PDF metadata). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
render_markdown ~199
Render GitHub-flavored markdown to a real PDF (PDF/A-2A + PDF/UA-1 dual-compliant, tagged). **BILLED - consumes credits at the rate of 1 credit per 10 pages.** Returns JSON metadata (pageCount, creditsDeducted, creditsRemaining, artifactId) plus the PDF bytes as an embedded base64 resource. On the free plan the PDF is watermarked; paid plans render clean. Mirrors POST /api/v1/md. Run `validate_markdown` first - it is free and catches heading-hierarchy and alt-text problems before you pay to render them. There is no free markdown preview: markdown needs no layout iteration, so this is the only markdown render tool.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| markdown | string | yes | GitHub-flavored markdown source. |
| options | object | – | Optional render settings. Anything omitted falls back to YAML frontmatter in the markdown, then to the runtime default. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
render_template ~208
Render any readable template (curated library row or caller-owned) to a real PDF. **BILLED — consumes credits at the rate of 1 credit per 10 pages.** Returns JSON metadata (pageCount, creditsDeducted, creditsRemaining, artifactId) plus the PDF bytes as an embedded base64 resource. On the free plan the PDF is watermarked; paid plans render clean. Mirrors POST /api/v1/render with the { templateId, data } body shape. Use `render_dsl_preview` first to confirm the layout — that's free and watermarked. Only call this once you're confident the template is right.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| data | object | – | Binding data substituted into {{var}} expressions. Falls back to the template's sampleData when omitted. |
| templateId | string | yes | Template ID — slug for library rows (e.g. 'invoice-classic') or UUID for user rows. |
| title | string | – | Optional document title (shown in PDF metadata). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
save_template ~186
Save a user-owned DSL template for later reuse via /api/v1/render. Validates the DSL with the catalog before persisting. Free (no credits). Pass `sampleData` (any JSON value) so the template's binding shape is preserved — the modify-template flow on /ai/chat round-trips this back into the Render data panel when the user returns. Optional `description` is a one-sentence summary surfaced on /templates. Returns { templateId, name, createdAt }.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| description | string | – | Optional one-sentence summary (max 280 chars). Surfaced on /templates list rows. |
| dsl | string | yes | The builder DSL script (<=512KB). |
| name | string | yes | Human-readable template name. |
| sampleData | – | – | Optional JSON binding data to persist alongside the template. Round-tripped on get_template / modify-template flow. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
update_template ~151
Update a saved template's DSL, name, description, and/or sampleData. Revalidates the DSL when provided. For `description` and `sampleData`: pass `null` to clear; omit to leave unchanged. Mirrors PUT /api/v1/templates/:id.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| description | string | – | Optional one-sentence summary (max 280 chars). Pass `null` (instead of a string) to clear the stored value; omit the key entirely to leave it unchanged. |
| dsl | string | – | – |
| name | string | – | – |
| sampleData | – | – | Optional JSON binding data. `null` clears the stored value; omit to leave unchanged. |
| templateId | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
validate_dsl ~97
Validate a PDF template DSL script for structure, tag/style correctness, and accessibility issues. Runs catalog validation plus alt-text checks. Cheap — no rendering. Mirrors POST /api/v1/preview/validate.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| data | object | – | Optional binding data. Falls back to the script's sampleData when omitted. |
| dsl | string | yes | The builder DSL script to validate. Must define a template (see skills/pdf-template-author.md). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
validate_markdown ~57
Validate a markdown document for PDF/UA-1 accessibility issues (heading hierarchy, missing alt text). Cheap — no rendering. Mirrors POST /api/v1/md/validate.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| markdown | string | yes | GitHub-flavored markdown source. |
No output schema declared.
