ChangeThisFile MCP Server
ChangeThisFile MCP Server
Nutzen Sie die sieben Datei-Tools von ChangeThisFile über jeden MCP-Client: Konvertierung über 1.000+ unterstützte Routen, Dokumentübersetzung, Tabellenextraktion, Komprimierung auf exakte Größe, Routing in natürlicher Sprache und Job-Statusprüfungen.
Unterstützt von ChangeThisFile.com. Discovery- und kostenpflichtige Vorschau-Jobs sind öffentlich. Die allgemeine convert_file-Funktion akzeptiert jetzt einen verifizierten Entwicklerschlüssel und teilt dessen Kontingent mit der REST-API-Nutzung. Anonyme Konvertierung bleibt während des Kompatibilitätsfensters für Konnektoren verfügbar; die Authentifizierung wird nicht vor dem 27. August 2026 erzwungen und erst nachdem die Konnektorunterstützung verifiziert wurde.

Option 1 — Remote-Endpunkt (empfohlen, keine Installation)
Der Server wird unter https://changethisfile.com/mcp mit streamable HTTP transport (MCP-Spezifikation 2025-03-26) gehostet. Wenn Ihr Client Remote-MCP-Server unterstützt, richten Sie ihn direkt auf den Endpunkt. Clients, die benutzerdefinierte Header unterstützen, können Authorization: Bearer ctf_sk_... senden, um das authentifizierte Entwickler-Metering zu nutzen.

"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://changethisfile.com/mcp"
}
}
}Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http changethisfile https://changethisfile.com/mcpOption 2 — Lokaler Stdio-Server (dieses Paket)
Für Clients, die nur stdio sprechen, überbrückt dieses Paket stdio ↔ den gehosteten Endpunkt:
{
"mcpServers": {
"changethisfile": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "github:aadilr/changethisfile-mcp"],
"env": {
"CTF_API_KEY": "ctf_sk_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}CTF_API_KEY ist optional: Ohne sie erhalten Sie 25 kostenlose Konvertierungen pro Monat und Netzwerk; danach fragt convert_file nach einem Schlüssel. Holen Sie sich einen verifizierten kostenlosen Schlüssel über das ChangeThisFile-Dashboard (oder POST https://changethisfile.com/v1/keys/free mit {"email":"you@example.com"} und klicken Sie die Verifizierungs-E-Mail an); dessen 25 monatlichen Konvertierungen werden zwischen MCP und REST geteilt. Bezahlte Pläne beginnen bei 29 $/Monat.
Oder klonen und direkt ausführen:
git clone https://github.com/aadilr/changethisfile-mcp.git
cd changethisfile-mcp
npm install
node index.jsOption 3 — Agent Skill / Claude Code-Plugin
Dieses Repository dient zugleich als Agent Skill und Claude Code-Plugin.
Jeder Agent mit Skill-Unterstützung (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot und weitere):
npx skills add aadilr/changethisfile-mcpClaude Code-Plugin (bündelt den MCP-Server + den Skill):
/plugin marketplace add aadilr/changethisfile-mcp
/plugin install changethisfile@changethisfileDer file-conversion-Skill bevorzugt bei Verbindung die MCP-Tools und greift andernfalls auf ein gebündeltes Skript (skills/file-conversion/scripts/convert.sh) zurück, das über einfaches HTTPS mit dem gehosteten Endpunkt kommuniziert – kein MCP-Client erforderlich.
Option 4 — Docker

Available Tools
2 toolsconvert_fileConvert FileAInspect
Convert a file from one format to another. Pass EITHER a publicly accessible URL (source_url) OR base64-encoded file contents (base64_content + source_format) — exactly one is required. Returns a temporary download URL (valid 1 hour; file deleted within 24 hours).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| source_url | No | Publicly accessible URL of the file to convert (preferred for large files) | |
| base64_content | No | Base64-encoded file content (for small files; max ~5MB) | |
| source_format | No | Source format extension (e.g. "docx", "mp4"). Auto-detected from URL if omitted. | |
| target_format | Yes | Target format extension (e.g. "json", "mp3", "pdf"). Required. | |
| filename | No | Optional filename hint for auto-detection (e.g. "document.docx") |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses key behavioral details: returns a temporary download URL (valid 1 hour) and that the file is deleted within 24 hours. These details are beyond what annotations provide (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false) and give the agent important lifecycle information. No contradiction with annotations exists.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise at 3 sentences, each serving a distinct purpose: stating the core action, specifying parameter rules, and detailing the return behavior. No extraneous information is included, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description adequately explains the return format (temporary URL with expiry) and data retention. It covers all input modalities and constraints. The presence of sibling tool name provides context. The description is complete for a conversion tool of moderate complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already describes all 5 parameters (100% coverage), setting baseline at 3. The description adds semantic value by explaining the mutual exclusivity of source_url and base64_content, specifying the ~5MB limit for base64, and noting that source_format can be auto-detected. This enhances the agent's understanding beyond the schema's per-parameter descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description begins with a clear verb-resource pair: 'Convert a file from one format to another.' This immediately identifies the tool's core function. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'list_conversions' by focusing on performing the conversion rather than listing available formats.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states the two mutually exclusive input methods (url vs base64) and clarifies that exactly one is required. It provides guidance on when to prefer each (URL for large files, base64 for small files) and mentions auto-detection of source format. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare it to alternatives beyond the sibling.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_conversionsList Supported ConversionsARead-onlyInspect
List all supported conversion routes. Optionally filter by source format to see what you can convert FROM a specific format.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| source_format | No | Filter by source format (e.g. "docx" returns all DOCX target options) |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already declare 'readOnlyHint: true' and 'openWorldHint: false'. The description adds that the tool lists 'all' conversions, implying completeness within a bounded set, but does not provide significant behavioral context beyond what annotations convey.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the core purpose, and contains no extraneous information. Every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one optional parameter, no output schema), the description sufficiently conveys its functionality and the filtering option. Annotations complement the behavioral profile, making the definition complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 100% schema description coverage, the baseline is 3. The description adds value by providing an example ('e.g., "docx" returns all DOCX target options'), which helps the agent understand the filtering behavior beyond the schema statement.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'List all supported conversion routes,' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes the tool from sibling tools like 'convert_file' and 'compress_file' by focusing on listing rather than performing actions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implicitly indicates when to use the tool (to see available conversions) and suggests filtering by source format. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like 'convert_file' for performing conversions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one performs file conversions, the other lists supported conversion routes. No overlap exists.
Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (convert_file, list_conversions) using snake_case, making naming predictable.
With only 2 tools, the server feels minimal for a file conversion service. While covering the core functionality, the low count suggests a thin surface.
The server covers basic conversion and format discovery, but lacks features like conversion history, batch processing, or progress tracking, leaving notable gaps.
