What this server can do
7 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
check_job(job_id)- Check the status of a previously submitted file job (translate_file, extract_tables, compress_file). Returns the current status, preview + checkout link for completed paid jobs, or the download URL for completed free/paid-and-unlocked jobs. Required: job_id.
compress_file(filename, source_url, base64_content, target_size_kb)- Compress a file (PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, MP4, MOV, WebM) down to an exact target size — e.g. "under 5MB for an upload form". FREE (daily limit applies). Returns a download URL on success; if the target is physically unreachable it fails honestly and reports the smallest achievable size. Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension. Required: target_size_kb.
convert_file(filename, source_url, source_format, target_format, base64_content)- Convert a file from one format to another. Add a verified ChangeThisFile API key for the shared developer allowance (25 free conversions/month); anonymous access is temporary compatibility mode. Pass EITHER a publicly accessible URL (source_url) OR base64-encoded file contents (base64_content + source_format) — exactly one is required. Returns a temporary download URL (valid 1 hour; file deleted within 24 hours). Required: target_format.
do_file_job(filename, source_url, instruction, base64_content)- Describe what you want done to a file in plain language — e.g. "translate this contract to German", "pull every table out of this PDF into Excel", "shrink this video to under 25MB", "convert this to PDF". The instruction is routed to the right job automatically; if the request is not supported yet you get an honest explanation of what is. Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension. Required: instruction.
extract_tables(filename, source_url, base64_content)- Extract every table from a PDF or image (PNG, JPG, WebP) into a clean multi-sheet Excel file. The job runs immediately and returns a FREE preview of the first table plus a secure Stripe checkout link — the full .xlsx unlocks after payment ($3.99, one-time, no account needed). Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension.
list_conversions(source_format)- List all supported conversion routes. Optionally filter by source format to see what you can convert FROM a specific format.
translate_file(filename, source_url, base64_content, target_language)- Translate a document into another language with the original layout and formatting preserved (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, TXT, MD, SRT, VTT). The job runs immediately and returns a FREE preview of the first pages plus a secure Stripe checkout link — the full translated file unlocks after payment ($4.99, one-time, no account needed). Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension. Required: target_language.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
| Signal | Value | What it measures | Window | Observed | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub stars | 4 | Number of GitHub accounts that bookmarked this repository since it was created. It is a bookmark count, not installs, not active users and not quality. | cumulative, all time | GitHub | |
| Last commit | 2026-08-06 | Date of the most recent push to any branch. This is the strongest cheap indicator of whether the project is still maintained. | point in time | GitHub | |
| Open issues | 0 | Open issues plus open pull requests, as GitHub counts them together. A high number can mean an active project or an abandoned one. | as of fetch | GitHub | |
| Latest published version | 1.1.0 | Latest version string the maintainer published to the registry. | as of fetch | Model Context Protocol | |
| Registry record last updated | 2026-06-10 | When the registry record was last updated by its maintainer. | point in time | Model Context Protocol | |
| License | MIT | Licence GitHub detected in the repository. Detection can be wrong; the LICENSE file is authoritative. | as of fetch | GitHub | |
| First listed in the MCP Registry | 2026-06-10 | Date this server was first published to the official MCP Registry. Not a usage or quality measure. | point in time | Model Context Protocol | |
| repository status | active | The repository exists on GitHub and is not archived. This says nothing about how recently it was worked on. | as of fetch | GitHub | |
| mcp tools declared | 7 tools | Number of functions the server itself declared when asked to list them. This is what the server offers an agent, not a measure of how well any of them work. | as of probe | changethisfile.com | |
| mcp endpoint status | ok | The server listed 7 functions when asked. | as of probe | changethisfile.com |

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as file-conversion, converter. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.
This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
