## What it does

This server gives your coding assistant tools to render and preview PDF files from web markup. Under the hood, a deterministic Rust engine turns HTML tags and CSS properties into printable pages. No external system PDF stack is needed.

The tool handles invoices and multi-page reports. Getting it running requires `uvx` on your system to launch the `fullbleed-mcp` package.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)

## Install

## When to use it
- compile invoices or reports from HTML and CSS files
- export document page previews as PNG images
- verify PDF layout structure before saving the final file

## Example prompts
- Generate a PDF invoice using markup from `invoice.html` and styles from `main.css`.
- Render the statement in `report.html` to PDF and save a PNG preview.
- Check this HTML layout and compile the resulting PDF file.
