  "markdown": "## Overview\n\n**Grade C · 57/100 · rank #814 of 1510 · #6 in PDF tools · not agent-ready · confidence medium**\n\n\n## Assessment\n\nPrintFriendly's MCP server does two things agents need often, clean page reading and document export, with two well-annotated tools, published limits and errors that tell the agent what to do. It uses a plain API key, has no status page, and returns web pages with no injection guidance.\n\n## Facts\n\n| Field | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Vendor | Print Friendly LLC (https://www.printfriendly.com) |\n| Kind | MCP server |\n| Category | PDF tools (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/pdf-tools) |\n| Transport | Streamable HTTP |\n| Endpoint | `https://mcp.printfriendly.com` |\n| Auth | API key · An API key in Authorization: Bearer or X-API-Key on every request; no sign-in screen and no anonymous use. The ChatGPT and Claude connectors for end users need no key. |\n| Pricing | Freemium ($0.005 / call) · Free $0 with 100 documents a month and no card; Starter $19 (1,000), Pro $49 (10,000) and Business $199 (50,000) a month, with overage at $0.02, $0.005 and $0.004 a document. Each successful call counts as one document (checked 2026-11-07). |\n| x402 | No · No x402, MPP or L402 on the MCP docs or pricing page (checked 2026-11-07). |\n| Licence | Proprietary service. The repository's MIT licence covers docs and manifests |\n| Tools exposed | 2 |\n| MCP registry name | `com.printfriendly/printfriendly` |\n| Source | https://github.com/printfriendly/printfriendly-mcp |\n| Docs | https://www.printfriendly.com/help/api-mcp |\n| llms.txt | not found |\n| Surface listed | The hosted MCP server at mcp.printfriendly.com, read from printfriendly.com, its server card and the public repository on 7 November 2026. No tool was called |\n| Capabilities | web.extract, pdf.create, document.convert |\n| Tags | official, hosted, mcp, remote-mcp, api-key, freemium, free-tier, mcp-registry, annotated-tools, server-card |\n| JSON | https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/printfriendly-mcp.json |\n\n## Score breakdown (methodology v0.7, October 2026 research run)\n\nAssessed 2026-11-07 from public evidence against the published checklist (https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/#checklist). Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 42 | 8.4 |\n| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 74 | 12.0 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 87 | 14.1 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% | 17.5 | 46 | 8.1 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 40 | 5.0 |\n| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% | 8.8 | 58 | 5.1 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust (editorial 51, provenance 46) | 7% | 8.8 | 49 | 4.3 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **57 → C** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Reliability 42 (checked 2026-11-07): No status page found (0). No history (5). Rate limits published, 10 calls a minute on free keys and 120 on paid (15). Over the limit the tool says how many seconds to wait; failed calls don't count (12 of 15). No SLA found (0). Not labelled beta (10). 0 + 5 + 15 + 12 + 0 + 10 = 42.\n- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 74 (checked 2026-11-07): Two tools with schemas in a public server card at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json (25). llms-install.md in the repository; no llms.txt read (5 of 10). Clear descriptions, with 'What each tool does' on the docs page (17 of 20). Typed inputs (12 of 15). FAQ with the 401, limit and plan errors (12 of 15). Registry 1.0.1; no changelog (3 of 15). 25 + 5 + 17 + 12 + 12 + 3 = 74.\n- Agent ergonomics 87 (checked 2026-11-07): Two compact tools (25). Output format choice (12 of 20). Errors that name the cause and the fix, including how long to wait (18 of 20). Annotated, read_page read-only and idempotent (20). One key and a REST API with the same limits (12 of 15). 25 + 12 + 18 + 20 + 12 = 87.\n- Security \u0026 auth 46 (checked 2026-11-07): One API key in a header (20 of 30). One read-only tool and one that creates files, nothing destructive (15 of 20). read_page returns third-party web pages with no injection guidance (3 of 15). No audit log; usage counts per key (5 of 15). No security.txt or certifications found (3 of 20). 20 + 15 + 3 + 5 + 3 = 46.\n- Payments \u0026 pricing 40 (checked 2026-11-07): No machine payment protocol (0). Per-document overage prices public (20). Free plan with 100 documents, no card (20). A person signs in for the key (0). 0 + 20 + 20 + 0 = 40.\n- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 58 (checked 2026-11-07): Registry entry com.printfriendly/printfriendly and repository commit on 16 October 2026 (30). Fewer than three dated releases found in 90 days (0). Help pages and support (8 of 15). Official registry entry under its own namespace (15). Repository holds docs and manifests (5 of 10). 30 + 0 + 8 + 15 + 5 = 58. Registry presence read from Anchor Terminal's own daily import of the official MCP registry (/api/v1/registry.json, 6 November 2026), not the registry's API.\n- Transparency \u0026 trust 49 (checked 2026-11-07): Closed service under terms naming Print Friendly LLC; the repository is MIT (15). Page content isn't used to train AI models, images are analysed while the page is processed, and mobile copies are deleted after delivery (20 of 30). The first server address stays as an alias, a dated change kept working (8 of 20). Third-party AI providers named as service providers without a list (8 of 20). 15 + 20 + 8 + 8 = 51.\n\nFix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (14 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/printfriendly-mcp.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/printfriendly-mcp.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{\"listing\": \"printfriendly-mcp\", \"plan\": \"read\"}`, free while the beta runs\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- People, ownership and investors not researched\n\n### Sources\n\n- MCP docs and FAQ: \u003chttps://www.printfriendly.com/help/api-mcp\u003e (seen 2026-11-07)\n- server card: \u003chttps://mcp.printfriendly.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json\u003e (seen 2026-11-07)\n- API pricing: \u003chttps://www.printfriendly.com/api\u003e (seen 2026-11-07)\n- terms and privacy: \u003chttps://www.printfriendly.com/terms\u003e (seen 2026-11-07)\n- repository, shallow clone: \u003chttps://github.com/printfriendly/printfriendly-mcp\u003e (seen 2026-11-07)\n- lead, awesome-remote-mcp-servers pull request #2017: \u003chttps://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-remote-mcp-servers/pull/2017\u003e (seen 2026-11-07)\n\n## Score history\n\nEvery move of a score since the listing was graded, newest first, with its cause.

Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending.

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on printfriendly.com or one of its subdomains, or the README at the root of github.com/printfriendly/printfriendly-mcp. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{\"slug\": \"printfriendly-mcp\", \"url\": \"…\"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp. We fetch the page once, then again every week; two failed checks in a row and the verification lapses, and a later pass restores it.
