What is the difference between this MCP server and the PDF Content Search app?
The MCP server is an open‑source stdio‑to‑HTTP bridge. The app owns the index, OCR engine, and search; the bridge routes requests between MCP clients and the app’s API.

常见问题
What are the system requirements?
macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, Swift 5.9+ if building from source, and the PDF Content Search app (installed and running).
How do I get the API token for configuration?
Open PDF Content Search → Settings → API Server, copy the token, and set it as the `PDF_CS_TOKEN` environment variable. The app also provides a “Set up Claude Desktop” button.
Can I use Pdf Content Search Mcp with other MCP clients?
Yes. Any client that supports stdio MCP servers can use this bridge (e.g., Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor).
What happens if the PDF Content Search app is not running?
The bridge returns a JSON‑RPC error with code `‑32000` (“Cannot reach PDF Content Search”), so the client surfaces a meaningful message instead of hanging.
