pdf-tools

v0.14.0+1.g7f7edb0

by Open-Document-Alliance · author: Open Document Alliance

Open PDFs on your computer and work with them: read and search, fill and sign forms, extract data, merge, split, and compare. File operations stay local; content returned to your host follows its data terms.

What pdf-tools does, in the publisher's words

The local PDF workflow for Claude Desktop and MCP hosts: fill, sign, merge, split, extract, render, and analyze PDFs with local file operations.

Instead of just opening a PDF, PDF Tools lets Claude fetch PDF URLs to your machine, inspect documents visually, fill forms, save reusable profiles, add signature/date zones, merge and split files, reorganize pages visually, extract structured data, and return document content to your chosen MCP host for analysis.

This package targets Claude Desktop and other local MCP hosts today. It does not yet include a remote connector for Claude Cowork / web-hosted Claude.
