John's Essentials

Overview

John's Essentials is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: 110+ deterministic file tools: PDF, image, media, convert, analyze. Connect in one click (OAuth). Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use John's Essentials as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.

It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://api.johnsessentials.com/mcp/messages and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v1.1.0.

On mcp.site, John's Essentials sits in the File System category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
