FAQ from PDF.co MCP Server

What does PDF.co MCP Server do exactly?

It acts as a bridge between AI assistants (via the MCP protocol) and the PDF.co API, exposing six tools for common PDF operations: merging, splitting, text extraction, JSON conversion, HTML-to-PDF, and credit balance checks.

How do I get an API key?

Obtain your API key from PDF.co’s dashboard. The key must be set as the environment variable PDFCO_API_KEY in your MCP client configuration.

What dependencies are required?

Node.js and npm are needed to build and run the server. No additional runtime is required beyond the PDF.co API key.

All PDF operations are performed on PDF.co’s cloud servers. The server sends your files to the API and returns the results; no local processing of PDF content occurs.
