With its recent AI makeover, it can do more than just help you write code. You can connect your applications to it and let LLMs automate many of the mundane tasks in your workflow. In this guide, I will explain how to connect Conversion tools with VS Code in the most secure and robust way possible via Composio. ## Also integrate Conversion tools with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Composio provides: - Access to 1,000+ managed apps from a single MCP endpoint. This makes it convenient for agents to run cross-app workflows. - Programmatic tool calling. Allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool response handling outside the LLM context. This minimizes context bloat from large tool responses. - Dynamic just-in-time access to thousands of tools across hundreds of apps. Composio loads the tools your agent needs, so LLMs are not overwhelmed by tools they do not need. ## Connect Conversion tools to VS Code ### Integrate Conversion tools MCP with VS Code ### 1. Install with one click Click the button below to add Composio to VS Code. You will be prompted to authorize. This requires VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot. [+Install in VS Code](vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22composio%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp%22%7D) ### 2. Or add manually Open or create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root and add the following configuration: ```bash { "servers": { "composio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp" } } } ``` ## What is the Conversion tools MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Conversion tools MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Conversion tools account. It provides structured and secure access to a wide range of file and document conversion utilities, so your agent can convert documents, extract data, generate snapshots, and automate file handling between multiple formats on your behalf. - Seamless document format conversion: Effortlessly have your agent convert Excel, Word, Markdown, OXPS, or JPG files to formats like CSV, HTML, PDF, text, or JSON. - Website snapshot creation: Ask your agent to capture entire web pages as PDF documents or PNG images, ready to download or share. - Automated file upload and processing: Let your agent upload local files, obtain conversion-ready file IDs, and initiate multi-step conversion workflows. - AI-powered data extraction: Use AI tools to transform images (JPG) into structured JSON, streamlining data entry and analysis tasks. - Easy retrieval of conversion results: Direct your agent to track conversion tasks and download the final output files once processing is complete. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_CONVERT_AI_JPG_TO_JSON` | Convert JPG to JSON with AI | Tool to convert jpg to structured json using ai. use after uploading the image or specifying its url. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_CONVERT_EXCEL_TO_CSV` | Convert Excel to CSV | Tool to convert excel files to csv. use when you have an excel file (local upload or url) and need a csv output. use after uploading or providing file url. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_CONVERT_EXCEL_TO_HTML` | Convert Excel to HTML | Tool to convert an excel file to html. use when you need an html table representation of a .xlsx file via upload or url. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_CONVERT_MARKDOWN_TO_HTML` | Convert Markdown to HTML | Tool to convert markdown to html. use after uploading the markdown file or specifying its url to generate html content. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_CONVERT_OXPS_TO_PDF` | Convert OXPS to PDF | Tool to convert an oxps file to pdf. use when you have an oxps file either uploaded (file id) or via url and need a pdf output. provide only one of `file id` or `url`. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_CONVERT_WEBSITE_TO_PDF` | Convert Website to PDF | Tool to convert a website url to pdf. use when you need a pdf snapshot of a web page; returns a task id to poll for completion. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_CONVERT_WEBSITE_TO_PNG` | Convert Website to PNG | Tool to convert a website url to a png image. use when you need a snapshot of an entire web page or specific viewport. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_CONVERT_WORD_TO_TEXT` | Convert Word to Text | Tool to convert word documents to plain text. use when you have a .doc or .docx file (binary or url) and need its plain text representation. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_DOWNLOAD_FILE` | Download File | Tool to download a conversion result file by its id. use after task completion to retrieve the output file. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_UPLOAD_FILE` | Upload File | Tool to upload a file for conversion. use when you have a local file and need a file id for further conversion. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, VS Code can access the Conversion tools MCP server via Composio to run the app actions you authorize, directly from your coding workflow. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Conversion tools is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your agent can run true cross-app workflows end to end. - Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically. - Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works. - Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs. - Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps. - Connect HubSpot or Salesforce to log customer context, update records, and draft follow-ups. Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Conversion tools MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/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 Conversion tools MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Conversion tools tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Conversion tools and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with VS Code? Yes, you can. VS Code 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 Conversion tools tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Conversion tools while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Conversion tools 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 Conversion tools data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) ยท [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
