## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `API2PDF_ADD_HEADER_FOOTER` | Add Header Footer | Convert HTML to PDF with customizable headers and footers using Headless Chrome. Use for generating reports, invoices, or documents with consistent page numbering, titles, dates, or branding on every page. |
| `API2PDF_CHECK_STATUS` | Check API Status | Tool to check the health status of the API2PDF service. Use when you need to verify if the API is available and responding. This endpoint does not require authentication and returns a simple status indicator. |
| `API2PDF_DELETE_PDF` | Delete PDF | Delete a previously generated PDF from API2PDF storage by its response ID. By default, API2PDF automatically deletes PDFs after 24 hours. Use this tool when you need to immediately remove a PDF for security or cleanup purposes. The response_id parameter is the ResponseId returned from any PDF generation operation (e.g., merge, convert HTML to PDF, etc.). |
| `API2PDF_EXTRACT_PAGES` | Extract PDF Pages | Tool to extract specific pages from a PDF document. Use when you need only certain pages from a larger PDF file. Provide a URL to the source PDF and optionally a page range (0-indexed, end exclusive). Returns a URL to the extracted PDF. |
| `API2PDF_LIBREOFFICE_PDF_TO_HTML` | LibreOffice PDF to HTML | Tool to convert a PDF document to HTML using LibreOffice. Use when you need HTML output of a PDF file (experimental; images may be excluded). |
| `API2PDF_LIBREOFFICE_THUMBNAIL` | LibreOffice Thumbnail | Tool to generate a thumbnail image of a document using LibreOffice. Use when you need a quick visual preview of a PDF or Office file's first page. |
| `API2PDF_MERGE_PDFS` | Merge PDFs | Merge multiple PDF documents into a single PDF file. Provide a list of publicly accessible PDF URLs, and they will be combined in the order specified. The merged PDF is available via a download URL for 24 hours. |
| `API2PDF_OPTIMIZE_PDF` | Optimize PDF | Tool to optimize a PDF document to reduce file size while maintaining quality. Use when you need to minimize storage or bandwidth for an existing PDF. |
| `API2PDF_REORDER_PAGES` | Reorder PDF Pages | Reorder pages of a PDF document by specifying a new page sequence. Provide a URL to the source PDF and a list of zero-based page indices in the desired order. For example, to reverse a 3-page PDF, use pages=[2,1,0]. The reordered PDF is available via a download URL for 24 hours. |
| `API2PDF_ZEBRA_GENERATE_BARCODE` | Generate Barcode or QR Code | Tool to generate barcodes or QR codes using Zebra Crossing (ZXING). Use when you need a barcode or QR code image from text values. |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute Api2pdf Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Api2pdf actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Merge these three PDF files into one document'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Merge these three PDF files into one document'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK and Claude Agent SDK
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create Tool Router Session

Initialize the Composio client and create a Tool Router session
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

console.log("Creating Tool Router session...");
const { mcp } = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Api2pdf tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Merge these three PDFs into one document')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: mcp.url,
    headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key' }
  }
});

const tools = await client.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Merge these three PDFs into one document' }],
  stopWhen: stepCountIs(5)
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
```
