Implementation Reference
- index.ts:291-322 (handler)Main handler logic for the 'generate_pdf_from_markdown' tool. Converts Markdown to HTML using the markdownToHtml helper, validates the output path, uses Puppeteer to render HTML to PDF, and saves it to the specified location.
case "generate_pdf_from_markdown": { const { markdown_content, output_filename, output_dir = DEFAULT_OUTPUT_DIR } = args as any; const outputPath = validateOutputPath(path.join(output_dir, output_filename)); const htmlContent = markdownToHtml(markdown_content); await fs.mkdir(path.dirname(outputPath), { recursive: true }); const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: true }); const page = await browser.newPage(); await page.setContent(htmlContent, { waitUntil: 'networkidle0' }); await page.pdf({ path: outputPath, format: 'A4', margin: { top: '1cm', right: '1cm', bottom: '1cm', left: '1cm' }, printBackground: true }); await browser.close(); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `PDF successfully generated from Markdown: ${outputPath}` } ] }; } - index.ts:138-156 (schema)Input schema for the tool, defining required markdown_content and output_filename, optional output_dir.
