By the end, you'll have a working Api2pdf agent that can merge monthly invoices into one pdf, extract specific pages from a large pdf, add custom header and footer to document through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your Mastra AI agent real control over a Api2pdf account through Composio's Api2pdf MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Api2pdf with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/ai-sdk) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Set up your environment so Mastra, OpenAI, and Composio work together - Create a Tool Router session in Composio that exposes Api2pdf tools - Connect Mastra's MCP client to the Composio generated MCP URL - Fetch Api2pdf tool definitions and attach them as a toolset - Build a Mastra agent that can reason, call tools, and return structured results - Run an interactive CLI where you can chat with your Api2pdf agent ## What is Mastra AI? Mastra AI is a TypeScript framework for building AI agents with tool support. It provides a clean API for creating agents that can use external services through MCP. Key features include: - MCP Client: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers - Toolsets: Organize tools into logical groups - Step Callbacks: Monitor and debug agent execution - OpenAI Integration: Works with OpenAI models via @ai-sdk/openai ## What is the Api2pdf MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Api2pdf MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Api2pdf account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful PDF generation and manipulation features, so your agent can generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, merge or optimize documents, extract or reorder pages, and more—automatically and on your behalf. - PDF generation from web content: Instruct your agent to convert HTML or URLs into high-quality PDFs using engines like wkhtmltopdf or Headless Chrome. - Merge and optimize PDFs: Have your agent combine multiple PDFs into a single file or optimize existing documents to reduce file size without sacrificing quality. - Advanced PDF manipulation: Direct your agent to extract specific pages, reorder existing pages, or add custom headers and footers for consistent branding or page numbering. - Barcode and QR code generation: Let your agent instantly create barcode or QR code images from any text value, ready to embed in documents or use elsewhere. - Document conversion and preview: Ask your agent to convert PDFs to HTML with LibreOffice or generate thumbnail previews for quick visual reference. ## 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. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Api2pdf MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Api2pdf. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Api2pdf operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface. With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster. ## Step-by-step Guide ### 1. Prerequisites Before starting, make sure you have: - Node.js 18 or higher - A Composio account with an active API key - An OpenAI API key - Basic familiarity with TypeScript ### 1. Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio OpenAI API Key - Go to the [OpenAI dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. - You need credits or a connected billing setup to use the models. - Store the key somewhere safe. Composio API Key - Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs). - Go to Settings and copy your API key. - This key lets your Mastra agent talk to Composio and reach Api2pdf through MCP. ### 2. Install dependencies Install the required packages. What's happening: - @composio/core is the Composio SDK for creating MCP sessions - @mastra/core provides the Agent class - @mastra/mcp is Mastra's MCP client - @ai-sdk/openai is the model wrapper for OpenAI - dotenv loads environment variables from .env ```bash npm install @composio/core @mastra/core @mastra/mcp @ai-sdk/openai dotenv ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your requests to Composio - COMPOSIO_USER_ID tells Composio which user this session belongs to - OPENAI_API_KEY lets the Mastra agent call OpenAI models ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your_user_id_here OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here ``` ### 4. Import libraries and validate environment What's happening: - dotenv/config auto loads your .env so process.env.* is available - openai gives you a Mastra compatible model wrapper - Agent is the Mastra agent that will call tools and produce answers - MCPClient connects Mastra to your Composio MCP server - Composio is used to create a Tool Router session ```typescript import "dotenv/config"; import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"; import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent"; import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp"; import { Composio } from "@composio/core"; import * as readline from "readline"; import type { AiMessageType } from "@mastra/core/agent"; const openaiAPIKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY; const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY; const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID; if (!openaiAPIKey) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set"); const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: composioAPIKey as string, }); ``` ### 5. Create a Tool Router session for Api2pdf What's happening: - create spins up a short-lived MCP HTTP endpoint for this user - The toolkits array contains "api2pdf" for Api2pdf access - session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that Mastra's MCPClient will connect to ```typescript async function main() { const session = await composio.create( composioUserID as string, { toolkits: ["api2pdf"], }, ); const composioMCPUrl = session.mcp.url; console.log("Api2pdf MCP URL:", composioMCPUrl); ``` ### 6. Configure Mastra MCP client and fetch tools What's happening: - MCPClient takes an id for this client and a list of MCP servers - The headers property includes the x-api-key for authentication - getTools fetches the tool definitions exposed by the Api2pdf toolkit ```typescript const mcpClient = new MCPClient({ id: composioUserID as string, servers: { nasdaq: { url: new URL(composioMCPUrl), requestInit: { headers: session.mcp.headers, }, }, }, timeout: 30_000, }); console.log("Fetching MCP tools from Composio..."); const composioTools = await mcpClient.getTools(); console.log("Number of tools:", Object.keys(composioTools).length); ``` ### 7. Create the Mastra agent What's happening: - Agent is the core Mastra agent - name is just an identifier for logging and debugging - instructions guide the agent to use tools instead of only answering in natural language - model uses openai("gpt-5") to configure the underlying LLM ```typescript const agent = new Agent({ name: "api2pdf-mastra-agent", instructions: "You are an AI agent with Api2pdf tools via Composio.", model: "openai/gpt-5", }); ``` ### 8. Set up interactive chat interface What's happening: - messages keeps the full conversation history in Mastra's expected format - agent.generate runs the agent with conversation history and Api2pdf toolsets - maxSteps limits how many tool calls the agent can take in a single run - onStepFinish is a hook that prints intermediate steps for debugging ```typescript let messages: AiMessageType[] = []; console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n"); const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: "> ", }); rl.prompt(); rl.on("line", async (userInput: string) => { const trimmedInput = userInput.trim(); if (["exit", "quit", "bye"].includes(trimmedInput.toLowerCase())) { console.log("\nGoodbye!"); rl.close(); process.exit(0); } if (!trimmedInput) { rl.prompt(); return; } messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "user", content: trimmedInput, }); console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n"); try { const response = await agent.generate(messages, { toolsets: { api2pdf: composioTools, }, maxSteps: 8, }); const { text } = response; if (text && text.trim().length > 0) { console.log(`Agent: ${text}\n`); messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "assistant", content: text, }); } } catch (error) { console.error("\nError:", error); } rl.prompt(); }); rl.on("close", async () => { console.log("\nSession ended."); await mcpClient.disconnect(); process.exit(0); }); } main().catch((err) => { console.error("Fatal error:", err); process.exit(1); }); ``` ## Complete Code ```typescript import "dotenv/config"; import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"; import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent"; import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp"; import { Composio } from "@composio/core"; import * as readline from "readline"; import type { AiMessageType } from "@mastra/core/agent"; const openaiAPIKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY; const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY; const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID; if (!openaiAPIKey) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set"); const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: composioAPIKey as string }); async function main() { const session = await composio.create(composioUserID as string, { toolkits: ["api2pdf"], }); const composioMCPUrl = session.mcp.url; const mcpClient = new MCPClient({ id: composioUserID as string, servers: { api2pdf: { url: new URL(composioMCPUrl), requestInit: { headers: session.mcp.headers, }, }, }, timeout: 30_000, }); const composioTools = await mcpClient.getTools(); const agent = new Agent({ name: "api2pdf-mastra-agent", instructions: "You are an AI agent with Api2pdf tools via Composio.", model: "openai/gpt-5", }); let messages: AiMessageType[] = []; const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: "> ", }); rl.prompt(); rl.on("line", async (input: string) => { const trimmed = input.trim(); if (["exit", "quit"].includes(trimmed.toLowerCase())) { rl.close(); return; } messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "user", content: trimmed }); const { text } = await agent.generate(messages, { toolsets: { api2pdf: composioTools }, maxSteps: 8, }); if (text) { console.log(`Agent: ${text}\n`); messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "assistant", content: text }); } rl.prompt(); }); rl.on("close", async () => { await mcpClient.disconnect(); process.exit(0); }); } main(); ``` ## Conclusion You've built a Mastra AI agent that can interact with Api2pdf through Composio's Tool Router. You can extend this further by: - Adding other toolkits like Gmail, Slack, or GitHub - Building a web-based chat interface around this agent - Using multiple MCP endpoints to enable cross-app workflows ## How to build Api2pdf MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/ai-sdk) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/api2pdf/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Drive](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googledrive) - Google Drive is a cloud storage platform for uploading, sharing, and collaborating on files.

With a standalone Api2pdf MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Api2pdf tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Api2pdf and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Mastra AI? Yes, you can. Mastra AI fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Api2pdf tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Api2pdf while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Api2pdf scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Api2pdf data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
