install FileToPDF MCP server on Cursor

Requires the runtime declared in the upstream repo — check the README before running. Cursor reloads its MCP servers automatically the moment the file is saved — no restart needed. Paste the config below, then follow the reload step to register FileToPDF MCP server.

paste into
global: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
project: .cursor/mcp.json (commit alongside your repo)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filetopdf": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "filetopdf-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FILETOPDF_API_KEY": "sk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
then: No restart needed — Cursor picks up the change automatically.
