What the PDF.co connector can do

PDF.co automates document work such as converting Excel files, generating barcodes, and checking account usage through a REST API. Once PDF.co is connected to a type.com Space, the agent can convert a spreadsheet to CSV or JSON, check remaining credits, or generate a barcode image, with the output shared in the same thread as the request.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting PDF.co

Can Claude convert files using PDF.co?

Yes. With a PDF.co connection shared to a type.com Space, the agent can convert a spreadsheet, generate a barcode, or check account credits from a thread, with results visible to the team.

How does type.com authenticate with PDF.co?

PDF.co uses an API key. An admin adds it once when creating the connection and chooses which Spaces can use it.

Can file conversions run automatically?

Yes. Turn a recurring conversion, such as a weekly export to CSV, into a type.com automation that posts the result to a channel.

Is this the same as an MCP server for PDF.co?

Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
