Conversion tools

Conversion tools MCP integration

Uploads a file, runs the conversion, polls the task until it finishes, and returns the download link without anyone opening the dashboard.

11actions available

Three actions you can hand over today

Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.

  • Create conversion task

    Lyro initiates a file conversion task to transform documents into the requested format. The task runs asynchronously, allowing immediate response while processing continues.

  • Get task status

    Lyro checks whether a conversion task is complete and ready for delivery. Status updates allow Lyro to proactively notify customers when files are ready.

  • Download converted file

    Lyro retrieves the finished converted file using its ID for immediate delivery to the customer. This closes the conversion workflow with a completed asset.

How businesses use Conversion tools + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Conversion tools actions Lyro runs to close it.

  • Convert a file the moment someone sends it

    Lyro uploads the attachment, starts a conversion task for the format the person actually asked for, and polls the task until it reports SUCCESS, inside the conversation that raised the request.

  • Hand back the finished file with its details

    Once a task reports SUCCESS, Lyro takes the file_id from the response, downloads the converted file, and reports its name and size so the requester knows what they are getting.

  • Pull readable text out of Word and Excel files

    Lyro converts a .docx to plain text or an .xlsx to an HTML table, so the content of an attachment can be quoted and searched rather than passed along as a file nobody opens.

  • Keep the task history and retention window in order

    Lyro lists the 50 most recent tasks, filters them by PENDING, RUNNING, SUCCESS or ERROR, and switches a task to the 15-minute TTL mode when its files should not sit around for 24 hours.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Conversion tools actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

  1. 01

    Connect Conversion tools

    Authorize the Conversion tools account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.

  2. 02

    Tell your agent what you need

    Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Conversion tools actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.

  3. 03

    Watch it work

    The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.
