Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@SheetShift turn this bank statement PDF into a clean CSV"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Free PDF→Excel / spreadsheet toolkit: an open MCP server plus a submission-ready ChatGPT plugin (MIT). Upload a document, get a spreadsheet back — no account, no paywall, no daily conversion limits.
SheetShift converts documents into spreadsheets through five stateless tools. Use it three ways: as a ChatGPT plugin, as an MCP server you add to your own AI client, or through the hosted site at https://sheetshift-unwindmeinstead-gmailcoms-projects.vercel.app.

Point your client at the public MCP endpoint:

claude mcp add --transport http sheetshift https://sheetshift-unwindmeinstead-gmailcoms-projects.vercel.app/mcpCodex CLI:
codex mcp add --transport http sheetshift https://sheetshift-unwindmeinstead-gmailcoms-projects.vercel.app/mcpNo key, no OAuth — the endpoint is open.
The hosted tools and an email list live at https://sheetshift-unwindmeinstead-gmailcoms-projects.vercel.app.
PDF inputs: max 50 pages, max 10 MB (text-layer PDFs only; scanned images without a text layer return a clear error — OCR is not part of this build).
Single file per call.
These caps exist because the serverless host has a ~10-second execution timeout; oversized input gets a clean error, not a hang.
Requires Python 3.12.
pip install -r requirements.txtEach tool module under sheetshift_lib/tools/ is dependency-light (stdlib + pypdf + openpyxl) and runs standalone via its __main__ self-test, e.g.:
python -m sheetshift_lib.tools.pdf_to_xlsxMachine callers can use the same tools over a pay-per-call API at /api/agent/*, metered in USDC on Base at $0.01 per call (x402). Human-facing tools through the plugin, the MCP endpoint, and the site are free with no limits.
The ChatGPT plugin is a free, complete tool: no pricing, no subscription or upgrade language, no checkout links, and no email capture inside the plugin. The plugin's only external link is an informational plans page. Details in terms.html / privacy.html on the site.
