Skip the copy-paste — use MCP
Pasting Claude's response into a converter is a step too many. If you're using Claude Code (the CLI) or Claude Desktop with MCP enabled, you can convert documents to PDF without leaving the chat.
Set up the MCP server (one time)
claude mcp add --transport http a2pdf https://a2pdf.com/mcp
Or, if you're using the legacy SSE transport:
claude mcp add --transport sse a2pdf https://a2pdf.com/mcp/sse
Then just ask
"Convert this whole response to a PDF and give me the link. Use the academic theme."
Claude calls convert_to_pdf on your behalf and returns a download URL. No copy-paste, no opening a browser tab. The MCP setup is documented in full on the /mcp page.
Artifacts
If Claude generated an HTML artifact (a self-contained page), download it from Claude's UI and drop it here. Use "preserve source styling" in PDF Settings to keep the artifact's own CSS rather than re-themed.
