Parameter

Type

Description

content

string

Source document content (text, or base64 when content_is_base64 is true).

input_format

string

Pandoc source format (e.g. markdown, html, docx). Use auto to autodetect.

output_format

string

Pandoc target format (e.g. html, gfm, docx, pdf).

bool

Emit a complete standalone document (--standalone).

options

string[]

Extra pandoc options (e.g. ["--toc", "--number-sections"]).

content_is_base64

bool

Treat content as base64-encoded bytes (binary inputs).

output_is_base64

bool

Return output base64-encoded (binary outputs). Falls back to base64 automatically if the result is not valid UTF-8.

Run locally

pip install -r requirements.txt
python server.py

The server listens on http://localhost:8000 (or $PORT if set):

  • MCP endpoint: http://localhost:8000/mcp

  • Health check: http://localhost:8000/health

Deploy to Render

  1. Push this repo to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket.

  2. In the Render dashboard, choose New > Blueprint and select your repo. Render detects render.yaml and creates a Docker web service.

  3. After the first deploy, your server is live at https://<service-name>.onrender.com/mcp.

Connect from an MCP client (Devin CLI)

devin mcp add pandoc https://<service-name>.onrender.com/mcp

Configuration

Env var

Default

Description

PORT

8000

Port the server binds to (set automatically by Render).

PANDOC_BIN

pandoc

Path to the pandoc executable.

PANDOC_TIMEOUT

120

Per-conversion timeout in seconds.

MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS

unset

Comma-separated allowed Host header values. When unset, DNS-rebinding protection is disabled (safe behind Render's reverse proxy). Set this to your custom domain for production, e.g. mcp.example.com.

MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS

unset

Comma-separated allowed Origin header values for browser clients.

MCP_BEARER_TOKEN

unset

Bearer token required on /mcp requests (Authorization: Bearer <token>). When unset, the endpoint is unauthenticated. /health stays public.
