Documentation

ChangeThisFile MCP Server

Use ChangeThisFile's seven file tools from any MCP client: conversion across 1,000+ supported routes, document translation, table extraction, exact-size compression, natural-language routing, and job status checks.

Powered by ChangeThisFile.com. Discovery and paid-preview jobs are public. General works without a key for 25 conversions per month per network; after that it needs a free verified developer key (25 conversions/month, shared with the REST API), and paid API plans raise the limit.

convert_file

Tool	Description
`convert_file`	Convert a file. Pass a publicly accessible `source_url` or `base64_content` (max ~5MB), plus a `target_format` (e.g. `pdf`, `mp3`, `json`). Source format is auto-detected from the URL/filename, or pass `source_format` explicitly. Returns a download URL valid for 1 hour.
`list_conversions`	List all supported conversion routes, optionally filtered by `source_format` (e.g. `docx` → see every format you can convert DOCX into).
`translate_file`	Translate a document with its layout preserved. Returns a free preview and a one-time checkout link for the full output.
`extract_tables`	Extract tables from PDFs or images into Excel. Returns a free preview and a one-time checkout link for the full output.
`compress_file`	Compress a PDF, image, or video to an exact maximum size. Free with a daily limit.
`do_file_job`	Route a plain-language file instruction to conversion, translation, extraction, or compression.
`check_job`	Check a submitted job and retrieve its preview, checkout link, or download URL.
