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 Security94
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1697 tokens (~212/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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 →
convert_file Convert a file from a URL ~403
End-to-end conversion of a remote file: fetches 'source_url' (with SSRF protection), uploads it to FileConvert, and starts a conversion from 'source_format' to 'target_format' (named by extension, e.g. png → webp, docx → pdf). Returns the conversion 'job_id' and the uploaded 'file_id'. Poll progress with get_job_status(job_id); when the status is Completed, call get_download_url(job_id) for the result. Conversions consume account credits. For a file you hold locally, use upload_file + start_conversion instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| additional_arguments | object | – | Optional free-form conversion arguments passed through to the converter. |
| format_type | string | – | Optional category hint ('image', 'video', 'audio', 'document', 'archive', 'ebook'); only needed when an extension exists in several categories. |
| format_type_id | integer | – | Advanced: numeric format-type id from list_formats. Not needed when formats are given by name. |
| source_format | string | – | Current format of the file, named by extension, e.g. 'png', 'docx', 'mp4'. Required unless source_format_id is given. |
| source_format_id | integer | – | Advanced: numeric id of the source format from list_formats. Alternative to source_format. |
| source_url | string | yes | Public http(s) URL of the file to convert. It is fetched server-side with SSRF protection (private/loopback/link-local/metadata targets are refused). Max 200 MiB. |
| target_format | string | – | Desired output format, named by extension, e.g. 'webp', 'pdf', 'mp3'. Must be in the same category as the source (image→image, document→document, …). Required unless target_format_id is given. |
| target_format_id | integer | – | Advanced: numeric id of the target format from list_formats. Alternative to target_format. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_balance Show remaining credits ~52
Returns the credit balance of the signed-in account, plus where to get more. Every conversion costs credits; call this when a conversion fails with 'no credits' or when the user asks how many conversions they have left.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_download_url Get a download URL for a converted file ~164
Returns the download URL of a converted file. Pass 'job_id' (conversion uid) to resolve the converted file of a finished conversion, or 'file_id' to download a known file uid directly. The URL needs no authentication (the unguessable file id is the capability), so it can be handed to the user or another system as-is. It stops working when the file's retention ends — about one hour after conversion by default — so download or share it promptly.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| file_id | string | – | A file uid to download directly. Provide either job_id or file_id. |
| job_id | string | – | The conversion job id (conversion uid). When given, the converted file uid is resolved from the completed conversion. Provide either job_id or file_id. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_job_status Get conversion job status ~95
Returns the current status of a conversion job. Statuses: Pending → Processing → Completed or Failed (Failed includes the reason). Poll every 2–3 seconds after convert_file / start_conversion; when Completed, call get_download_url. Also returns the full conversion object, which includes the converted file uid once the job has finished.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_id | string | yes | The conversion job id (conversion uid) returned by convert_file. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_upload_url Get file upload instructions ~155
Returns instructions for uploading an agent-local file into FileConvert. FileConvert does NOT use presigned upload URLs; instead you upload the file bytes directly to the gateway as a multipart/form-data POST. The response gives the exact URL, HTTP method, form field name and required Authorization header. After uploading you receive a file object whose 'uid' can be passed to a conversion. If your file is reachable over http(s), prefer convert_file(source_url, target_format) which fetches and uploads it for you. Works without a token (the upload itself needs one).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename | string | yes | The name of the local file the agent wants to upload, e.g. 'report.docx'. Used for the multipart form filename. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_formats List supported file formats ~132
Returns the file formats FileConvert can read and write, along with the format-type categories (image, video, document, audio, …). Use this first to discover valid 'format_type', 'source_format' and 'target_format' identifiers before calling convert_file. Each format includes its numeric id, name, file extension and description. Optionally pass 'format_type' to filter to a single category. Works without a token.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| format_type | string | – | Optional format-type name to filter by (e.g. 'image', 'video', 'document'). When omitted, all formats across all types are returned. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
start_conversion Convert an already uploaded file ~254
Starts a conversion of a file that is already in FileConvert (a 'file_id' from upload_file or from an earlier job) from 'source_format' to 'target_format' (named by extension). Returns the 'job_id' to poll with get_job_status. Conversions consume account credits.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| additional_arguments | object | – | Optional free-form conversion arguments passed through to the converter. |
| file_id | string | yes | The file id returned by upload_file (or by a previous conversion's converted file). |
| format_type | string | – | Optional category hint ('image', 'document', …) when an extension exists in several categories. |
| format_type_id | integer | – | Advanced: numeric format-type id from list_formats. |
| source_format | string | – | Current format of the file by extension, e.g. 'docx'. Required unless source_format_id is given. |
| source_format_id | integer | – | Advanced: numeric source format id from list_formats. |
| target_format | string | – | Desired output format by extension, e.g. 'pdf'. Same category as the source. Required unless target_format_id is given. |
| target_format_id | integer | – | Advanced: numeric target format id from list_formats. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
upload_file Upload a file you hold locally ~137
Uploads file bytes (base64) into FileConvert and returns a 'file_id'. Use this when the file is not reachable by URL, then call start_conversion(file_id, source_format, target_format). For files reachable over http(s), convert_file is a single call instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| content_base64 | string | yes | The file bytes encoded as base64 (standard or URL-safe alphabet, padding optional). Up to 25 MiB decoded; larger files should be given to convert_file by URL. |
| filename | string | yes | File name with extension, e.g. 'report.docx'. The extension helps the converter detect the format. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
How do I install the FileConvert MCP server?
FileConvert is a hosted endpoint at https://file-convert.online/api/mcp/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.

What is the FileConvert MCP server?
FileConvert is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as online.file-convert/fileconvert. Convert files between 110+ document, image, audio, video, archive and ebook formats from AI agents. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://file-convert.online/api/mcp/v1/mcp).
Is the FileConvert MCP server safe to use?
FileConvert scores 92 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 FileConvert MCP server expose?
FileConvert exposes 8 tools: convert_file, get_balance, get_download_url, get_job_status, get_upload_url, and 3 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,392 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the FileConvert MCP server require authentication?
Yes. FileConvert 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 FileConvert MCP server still maintained?
FileConvert is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
