mcp-pdf-tools

MCP.Pizza Chef: hanweg

The mcp-pdf-tools server is an MCP server designed to empower language models with PDF file manipulation capabilities. It supports merging multiple PDFs into one, extracting specific pages, and searching within PDFs using text extraction and regex pattern matching. This server facilitates complex PDF workflows by allowing LLMs to interact with PDF documents programmatically through the Model Context Protocol. It is especially useful for automating document processing tasks such as combining reports, extracting relevant sections, and finding related PDFs based on content. Installation involves cloning the repository, setting up a Python virtual environment, and installing the package. Note that it is a work-in-progress and currently optimized for Windows environments.
