by danielkennedy1 • Workflow & Task Management

An MCP server providing local and remote PDF manipulation tools for rendering pages, extracting text and metadata, merging/fusing documents, and downloading remote PDFs.

Example Use Cases

1
Render PDF pages to images so they can analyze visual content or create thumbnails.
2
Extract structured text blocks and metadata from PDFs for indexing, search, or summarization.
3
Programmatically merge, fuse, or download PDFs (including combining pages from multiple documents) as part of automated document workflows.

Description

PDF Tools MCP is a lightweight MCP server built on the Model Context Protocol framework that exposes a comprehensive set of PDF operations. It supports local PDF operations (rendering pages as images, merging pages, extracting metadata and text, creating snippets, and fusing pages across documents) and remote operations (rendering remote pages and downloading PDFs). The project uses PyMuPDF for PDF handling, async libraries for IO, and stores documents with UUID4 filenames for security. It is open-source (MIT) and can be installed via Smithery or pip.
