# Docweave

> The PDF/document-generation API built for AI agents and developers.
> One REST call (or one MCP tool) turns HTML, a URL, or a template + JSON into a
> pixel-perfect PDF. Transparent per-document pricing — no per-page tax.

## What it does
- Generate a PDF from raw HTML, a public URL, or a stored template + JSON data.
- Canonical Chromium rendering (fonts, page breaks, headers/footers).
- Built-in idempotency so agents never double-generate or double-bill.

## For AI agents (MCP)
- We ship a first-class MCP server exposing a `generate_pdf` tool.
- Install (local): `npx @docweave/mcp` (open source).
- Hosted (zero-install): streamable-HTTP MCP at https://docweave.dev/api/mcp — auth with
  `Authorization: Bearer <dw_live_ key>`; `initialize`/`tools/list` need no auth.
- The tool accepts { source: {type: "html"|"url"|"template", ...}, options?, idempotencyKey? }.

## REST API
- POST https://docweave.dev/api/v1/pdf
- Auth: `Authorization: Bearer <api key>`
- Body: { source, options?, fileName?, idempotencyKey? }
- Returns: { result: { ok, url?, bytesBase64?, byteSize?, pageCount?, error? } }
