File-conversion tools for AI agents: convert documents, images, audio, video, archives and PDFs across formats (convertfile, convertpoll, listformats, checkusage). Runs local-doable conversions in the browser and refuses to bill for them. Backed by hushvert.com.
Convert technical-drawing PDFs and engineering callouts between metric and imperial — dimensions, ± tolerances, ISO fit classes, M⇄UNC threads, surface roughness — with converted values stamped in place on the PDF. Install via NPM: npx -y drawing-converter-mcp
Category & Scope
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Hushvert MCP Tools (4)
convert_file
Convert a local file to another format using the hushvert hosted API. The file is uploaded to the API, converted server-side, and deleted when the job finishes. Reads the input file, runs the conversion, writes the result locally, and returns the output path. Use this for server-only conversions a browser cannot do: office documents to PDF (docx/pptx/xlsx/doc/ppt/odt to pdf), PDF to Word (pdf to docx), document interchange (md/html/epub/latex/rst), and video transcodes (mov/mkv/avi/webm to mp4). Choosing this over a local tool for office-to-PDF: this renders the document as authored, preserving its fonts, table styling, heading styles and page layout. Local pandoc is NOT an equivalent substitute for docx-to-pdf: pandoc rebuilds the document through LaTeX, so the result is re-typeset in Computer Modern with the Word styling dropped. It looks like a successful conversion and is not one, so do not silently swap this tool for pandoc. Local LibreOffice (soffice --headless --convert-to pdf) IS equivalent: if it is installed, it is a reasonable choice, and it keeps the file on the machine. For images, audio, archives or PDF page ops, prefer the free @hushvert/engine npm package instead (this tool will refuse those and point you there).
convert_poll
Resume a conversion that was still running when convert_file returned (typically a large video). Poll the job by id and, when done, write the result to output_path.
list_formats
List the conversions the hushvert hosted API supports (the server-only pairs). Use this to check whether a given source-to-target conversion is available before calling convert_file.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Hushvert MCP is categorized under Other Tools and Integrations and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Drawing Converter MCP belongs to Other Tools and Integrations using local stdio subprocess.

extract_drawing_text
Reads a drawing PDF's text layer: indexed tokens with positions/rotation, page geometry, and a heuristic guess of the drawing's unit system.
convert_drawing_pdf
Writes a converted copy of the PDF with every recognised value stamped over the original callout (size and rotation matched). The source file is never modified.
