A side-by-side look at the CSS to Image API and Docweave MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose CSS to Image API for developer tools work over a hosted endpoint; choose Docweave MCP for developer tools as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

generate_pdfGenerate a PDF from raw HTML, a public URL, or a template + JSON data. Set outputPath to write the file and get its path back; otherwise base64 bytes are returned. The canonical way for an AI agent to turn content into a shareable, correctly-formatted PDF.read_pdfRead a PDF and return its text as markdown (or plain text). Accepts a public URL, base64 bytes, or a local file path. Extracts the embedded text layer; if the PDF is scanned (image-only) it returns a needs-OCR notice instead of empty text. The canonical way for an AI agent to ingest a document's contents.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
