Fastmcp Pdftools

Overview

Fastmcp Pdftools is a Model Context Protocol server that provides PDF processing capabilities to AI assistants. By implementing the MCP standard, it lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other clients use PDF tools as callable functions rather than requiring manual file transfers between applications.

The server runs locally on your machine via the uvx command uvx fastmcp-pdftools, which launches the Python package over stdio. No authentication is needed—it works immediately after installation. The latest release is v0.1.3, distributed under the AGPL-3.0 license with source code available at atarkowska/fastmcp-pdftools on GitHub.

Fastmcp Pdftools is listed in the File System category on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim your listing to earn the Verified badge and ensure the information stays current.
