Docapi
Generate PDFs, screenshots, and structured documents from HTML or templates through DocAPI when your agent needs polished exports without running Puppeteer locally.
Overview
DocAPI is an MCP server for the Build phase that generates PDFs, screenshots, and documents via DocAPI’s cloud API from any MCP-compatible AI agent.
What is this MCP server?
- MCP stdio package @docapi/mcp 1.0.0 on npm
- Generate PDFs, screenshots, and documents from agent prompts
- Requires DOCAPI_API_KEY from docapi.co
- Hosted DocAPI backend—no local headless browser farm to maintain
- MCP package version 1.0.0
- Single required secret env var DOCAPI_API_KEY per server.json
What problem does it solve?
You need reliable PDFs and page screenshots from agent workflows but do not want to operate headless browsers and render queues yourself.
Who is it for?
Solo SaaS founders who want fast, API-backed document and screenshot generation inside Claude Code or Cursor.
Skip if: Air-gapped environments, teams avoiding third-party document APIs, or heavy custom print layout needing only offline tools.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registering @docapi/mcp with DOCAPI_API_KEY, your agent returns generated files through DocAPI without local render setup.
- Agent-generated PDFs and image captures via DocAPI
- Repeatable document export without local browser ops

Journey fit
Document and asset generation supports build docs, but the same tools export landing proofs and launch collateral. docs is the canonical shelf because the primary value is programmatic document, PDF, and screenshot creation for shipping artifacts.
How it compares
Hosted document-generation MCP, not an on-machine Puppeteer skill or generic file storage connector.
