PDF Toolkit MCP server

This is a helper that gives your AI assistant the ability to work with PDF files. It can read them, make new ones from your notes, join several into one, and even lock them with a password. It is handy if you deal with contracts, reports, invoices or forms and wish your AI could just handle the file for you.

What this MCP server does

You tell your AI what you want in normal language, like 'make a PDF from this report' or 'merge these three files'. Your AI then uses this helper, which does the actual work on the PDF file on your computer. The helper reads the file, changes it, or builds a new one, and sends the result back. You get an answer in the chat, and often a new PDF file saved where you asked. Everything runs on your own machine and works offline.

What you can do with it

Try asking your AI

• “Create a PDF from this Markdown report and save it to my desktop”
• “Merge these three PDFs into one file called combined.pdf”
• “Find every mention of indemnification in contract.pdf”
• “Encrypt report.pdf with the password secure123”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, like the text inside a PDF, a list of form fields, or the page numbers where a word appears. When you ask it to make or change a file, it saves a new PDF where you said and tells you what it did. It also reports things like which form fields it kept, renamed or dropped. For scanned documents, it can show pages as images your AI reads directly.
