Connect CraftMyPDF in Corsair
Add your CraftMyPDF API key once in Corsair. Corsair stores the credential encrypted and makes the CraftMyPDF API calls for your agent, so it never goes into a prompt or a config file. Connect CraftMyPDF
If your link lets the agent add apps, you can skip this: it gives you a sign-in link the first time it needs CraftMyPDF. On a ChatGPT personal plan, connect CraftMyPDF here first.

Personal plans get read tools only.Add to CursorOr add this to~/.cursor/mcp.json. Cursor opens Corsair to sign in the first time it connects.{ "mcpServers": { "corsair": { "url": "https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcp" } } }Run this, then run/mcpin Claude Code to sign in.claude mcp add --transport http corsair https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcpCodex, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Zed and other clients with OAuth sign-in work the same way. Clients without it, such as GitHub Copilot's coding agent, use a link's own address and an API key. Setup for every client

Sign in and choose what needs your approval
Your client opens Corsair to sign in. Pick a link: the apps your agent can use and a mode that decides what it may do without asking. In the default Cautious mode, CraftMyPDF's read and write operations run right away and its 1 destructive operation waits for your approval. Strict mode asks before every write and refuses destructive operations, and Read mode allows reads only.
FAQ
Install corsair and @corsair-dev/craftmypdf, add the CraftMyPDF plugin, and connect with an API key. Then call methods like corsair.craftmypdf.api.account.getInfo() from your app. Corsair keeps each tenant isolated.
Yes. CraftMyPDF requires an API key from your CraftMyPDF account or developer dashboard. Create credentials with access that matches what you automate, then paste them into Corsair or connect through managed auth in Hub.
Yes. One Corsair client can hit CraftMyPDF, GitHub, Notion, Stripe, and the rest. Trigger CraftMyPDF from a webhook, push updates to Slack, or chain actions across plugins. Same tenant context across integrations, plain TypeScript.
Teams use Corsair for PDF generation API that renders PDFs and images from reusable drag-and-drop templates, and manages those templates, their versions and the account's usage. Common builds include sync jobs, admin tooling, and agents that call CraftMyPDF APIs from your backend.
The SDK is open source. Self-host and you pay Corsair nothing for the integration layer. Hub bills for hosted auth and execution, not per CraftMyPDF API call. Hub has a generous free tier. For hobby projects you can probably run the whole thing on free. Paid plans start to matter with more tenants or heavier traffic.
We maintain @corsair-dev/craftmypdf in the open repo. When CraftMyPDF ships API changes, upgrade the package. Your call sites stay typed. You should not need to rewrite the integration layer each time.
No. Corsair does not read your CraftMyPDF data or hold individual access credentials. Credentials stay in your database. API calls run on your instance. We do not store CraftMyPDF data on your behalf.
Yes. Add https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcp as a custom connector or MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Codex or any client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in, then sign in to Corsair. On ChatGPT personal plans, custom servers currently get read tools only.
Yes. Put CraftMyPDF on a link in Strict mode and every write waits for your approval, while destructive actions are refused. The default Cautious mode asks only before the 1 destructive CraftMyPDF operation. You can change a link's mode at hub.corsair.dev/me.
