Overview

What is PDF Reader MCP Server?

PDF Reader MCP Server transforms PDFs into an Agent Document Twin: a linked, source-backed representation that AI agents can inspect, search, verify, crop, OCR, enrich, cite, and read with confidence. It is built for agents that need evidence and provenance, not just extracted text.

How to use PDF Reader MCP Server?

Install and run via npx: npx @sylphx/pdf-reader-mcp. Node.js 22.13 or higher is required. For Claude Desktop, add a configuration entry with the same command. A Docker image is also available from GitHub Container Registry. The default package works without any OCR models, vision models, or cloud credentials.
