Convertify MCP

Convertify MCP is the local Model Context Protocol server for Convertify, the all-in-one offline file converter for Windows.

It lets MCP clients talk to a locally installed Convertify instance over stdio, so conversions, inspections, batch jobs, and AI-powered workflows can run directly on the user's Windows machine without uploading files to a cloud service.

Overview

Convertify is built for users who want serious file conversion power without file size limits, watermarks, account requirements, or privacy tradeoffs. The MCP server extends that same approach to AI clients and agent workflows.

With Convertify MCP, clients can work with local files through Convertify's conversion engine and toolchain, including:

Single-file conversions across images, video, audio, documents, eBooks, archives, fonts, subtitles, and 3D models
Batch conversion workflows
File inspection and planning
File discovery and lightweight file handoff helpers
Optional module preparation and installation
AI image upscaling
AI background removal
AI video upscaling
AI frame interpolation
AI audio stem splitting

Why Convertify MCP

Fully local by design: files stay on the user's PC
Windows-native workflow: built around the installed Convertify desktop and CLI binaries
Broad format coverage: Convertify supports 230+ formats across media and document categories
Batch-ready: designed for large local conversion jobs
Privacy-first: ideal for sensitive documents, creative assets, CAD files, scans, and personal media
AI tools included: advanced enhancement workflows run on-device instead of being sent to remote services

Requirements

Windows
Convertify installed locally from convertifypro.com
Convertify-MCP.exe available in the Convertify install folder
Convertify-CLI.exe available beside it, or reachable through CONVERTIFY_CLI_PATH
An MCP client that supports local stdio servers

Quick Start

Download and install Convertify from convertifypro.com.
Open your MCP client's configuration file.
Add the convertify server entry from mcp.json.
Replace YOUR_USERNAME with the correct Windows account name if needed.
Restart your MCP client.

Example client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "convertify": {
      "command": "C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Convertify\\Convertify-MCP.exe",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "CONVERTIFY_CLI_PATH": "C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Convertify\\Convertify-CLI.exe"
      }
    }
  }
}

If Convertify-CLI.exe is already installed beside Convertify-MCP.exe, the env block is optional.

What The Server Does

Convertify MCP is a local wrapper around the installed Convertify CLI. It does not upload files or proxy work to a hosted backend. Instead, it launches the local Convertify binaries, reads structured output, and returns tool results to the MCP client.

That makes it a strong fit for:

Offline-first assistant workflows
Desktop automation
Bulk local media processing
Private document conversion
Creative and production pipelines that need direct access to local files

Tool Surface

The current server exposes tools in these areas:

Convert a single file
Convert batches of files
Inspect a file and plan workflow options
Find files by category or pattern
Copy a file to a new destination
Run small linear pipelines
List supported formats
List, prepare, and install optional modules
Check, validate, and activate licensing
Use built-in AI workflows for images, video, and audio

Directory Submission Notes

If you are submitting this server to MCP directories or catalogs, these are the important details to keep consistent:

Name: Convertify MCP
Short description: All-in-one offline file conversion MCP server for Windows, powered by a local Convertify installation.
Transport: stdio
Platform: Windows
Runtime model: Local
Hosted endpoint: None
File access model: Local Windows file paths
Dependency: Requires Convertify to be installed on the same machine

Positioning

Convertify itself is the all-in-one offline file converter for Windows. It is designed for users who want broad format support, local privacy, batch scale, and advanced enhancement tools in one place.

Core product highlights include:

Truly offline conversion with no uploads, tracking, accounts, or watermarks
Fast batch conversion for large local workloads
Support for standard and advanced formats across media, documents, archives, eBooks, subtitles, fonts, and 3D models
OCR, background removal, image upscaling, video upscaling, frame interpolation, and audio stem splitting
File Explorer integration for right-click conversions

Current Limitations

Windows only
Intended for local stdio MCP usage
Requires a local Convertify installation from convertifypro.com
Operates on local file paths, not uploaded blobs
Not intended to be listed as a hosted public HTTP MCP endpoint in its current distribution model

Roadmap Note

A hosted cloud MCP version may come later depending on adoption and demand for the offline release. For now, Convertify MCP is focused on the strongest current use case: fast, private, local file conversion on Windows with a full Convertify install.

Recommended Directory Description

Convertify MCP brings the Convertify desktop file conversion suite into MCP-compatible clients on Windows. It wraps a local Convertify install and exposes offline conversion, inspection, batch, pipeline, and AI-enhancement tools over stdio, keeping files on the user's device.
