# MCP server on n8n for AI-driven PDF and barcode generation via Api2Pdf
This template turns n8n into an MCP-compatible server, enabling AI agents to call external APIs for generating PDFs from HTML, URLs, office files, merging documents, or creating barcodes via the Api2Pdf service. The automation is triggered by HTTP requests from AI and returns results directly to the agent.
## Who it´s for
- AI agent developers needing PDF generation integration
- Technical specialists automating document workflows
- SaaS platforms requiring scalable, server-side PDF generation without limits
- Teams using n8n as middleware between AI and external APIs
## What the automation does
- Receives HTTP requests from AI agents via webhook
- Maps request parameters (e.g., URL, HTML, document type) into Api2Pdf-compatible format
- Calls Api2Pdf REST API to generate PDF, merge files, or create barcode
- Returns result (file or link) directly to the AI agent
- Handles authentication via API key in request header
## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow
- Logic for handling MCP-compatible AI requests
- Integrations with Api2Pdf and HTTP API
- Basic text guide for setup and adaptation
## Requirements for setup
- n8n account (self-hosted or cloud)
