Your AI can convert files too.

RunConvert works as an MCP server, so your AI app can convert files for you, with your account and its credits. Set it up once, then just ask:

  • “Convert the PNGs on my Desktop to WebP”
  • “Turn this video into an MP3 at 192k”
  • “Make a PDF from report.docx and put it in ~/Documents”

Works with any app that supports MCP. runconvert mcp setup prints the exact setup for this computer.

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add runconvert -- runconvert mcp

Then ask Claude Code to convert something. It uses the account you signed in with (runconvert login).

Frequently asked questions

Installing, signing in, where files go, and using it from AI apps.

The CLI is free to install, and signing in gives your account 10 free credits to try it, once. After that it uses purchased credits, from 500. The API and AI apps use purchased credits from the start. Converting on the website stays free.

Run runconvert login. Your browser opens runconvert.com, you check the code matches and click Authorize, and the terminal is signed in. On a server, runconvert login --no-browser prints a link to open on any device; in CI, set RUNCONVERT_API_KEY.

Files are uploaded to RunConvert's servers to be converted, as on the website, and deleted within an hour. Results are saved on your computer, next to the originals unless you choose a folder.

Yes. runconvert mcp setup shows how to add it to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or VS Code. In Claude.ai and ChatGPT, add https://mcp.runconvert.com/mcp as a connector and sign in.

macOS, Windows and Linux, on Intel and ARM. It's one small program with nothing else to install.
