Excel to PDF Converter

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/handlers/convertNumbers.ts:23-119 (handler)

  The handler function that performs the actual tool logic: argument validation, LibreOffice check, file reading, conversion to PDF using libreoffice-convert, temp file creation, and response with output path.
  export const handleConvertNumbersFunc = async ( args: unknown ): Promise<{ content: { type: string; text: string }[] }> => { // Ensure LibreOffice is installed - reuse function from convertExcel.ts const libreOfficeInstalled = await checkLibreOfficeInstalled(); if (!libreOfficeInstalled) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidRequest, 'LibreOffice is not installed or not found in PATH. Please install LibreOffice to use this tool.' ); } // Parse and validate arguments let parsedArgs: ConvertNumbersArgs; try { parsedArgs = ConvertNumbersArgsSchema.parse(args); } catch (error) { if (error instanceof z.ZodError) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidParams, `Invalid arguments: ${error.errors.map(e => `${e.path.join('.')} (${e.message})`).join(', ')}` ); } const message = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error); throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, `Argument validation failed: ${message}`); } try { // Ensure temp directory exists - now await because the function is async const tempDir = await ensureTempDir(); // Resolve input path const inputPath = resolvePath(parsedArgs.input_path); // Check file extension const ext = path.extname(inputPath).toLowerCase(); if (ext !== '.numbers') { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'Invalid file format. Only .numbers files are supported.' ); } // Read the input file const fileContent = await fs.readFile(inputPath); // Create output path const outputPath = createTempFilePath(path.basename(inputPath)); await fs.mkdir(path.dirname(outputPath), { recursive: true }); // Convert to PDF const pdfBuffer = await libreConvert(fileContent, '.pdf', undefined); // Write the output file await fs.writeFile(outputPath, pdfBuffer); // Create a relative path for the result const relativeOutputPath = path.relative(process.cwd(), outputPath); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ success: true, output_path: relativeOutputPath, message: 'Numbers file successfully converted to PDF', }, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error) { console.error('[Excel to PDF MCP] Error in conversion:', error); // Handle specific errors if (error instanceof McpError) { throw error; // Re-throw MCP errors } if (error instanceof Error) { if ('code' in error && error.code === 'ENOENT') { throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, `File not found: ${parsedArgs.input_path}`); } throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidRequest, `Error converting Numbers to PDF: ${error.message}` ); } // Generic error throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidRequest, `Unknown error during Numbers to PDF conversion` ); } };
• src/handlers/convertNumbers.ts:15-18 (schema)

  Zod schema defining the input parameters for the tool: input_path (string) and output_format (enum 'pdf').
  const ConvertNumbersArgsSchema = z.object({ input_path: z.string().min(1).describe('Relative path to the Numbers file (.numbers) to convert'), output_format: z.enum(['pdf']).default('pdf').describe('Output format (currently only PDF is supported)') }).strict();
• src/handlers/convertNumbers.ts:122-127 (registration)

  The tool definition object that registers the tool name, description, schema, and handler function.
  export const convertNumbersToolDefinition: ToolDefinition = { name: 'convert_numbers_to_pdf', description: 'Converts Apple Numbers files (.numbers) to PDF format', schema: ConvertNumbersArgsSchema, handler: handleConvertNumbersFunc, };
• src/handlers/index.ts:18-21 (registration)

  Central registration where convert_numbers_to_pdf tool is included in the array of all tool definitions.
  export const allToolDefinitions: ToolDefinition[] = [ convertExcelToolDefinition, convertNumbersToolDefinition ];
