BensPDF

PDF tools for AI agents. Your files never leave your machine.

Install in one click

&nbsp;

Ben's PDF tools for AI agents, exposed over the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

[!NOTE]

Your PDFs are read on your own machine and never uploaded. With a hosted model

your questions still reach that model; pair the tools with a local Ollama model

and nothing leaves the machine at all.

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code, Kiro, Cursor, the ChatGPT desktop app, and any other MCP client. The one-click buttons above need uv; for every other client, or to do it by hand, see Setup.

Tools

Every tool but one needs nothing beyond the package. pdf_ocr uses tesseract, a system program rather than a Python package, and only looks for it when you actually call it — so install it if and when you want OCR (brew install tesseract, sudo apt install tesseract-ocr, or winget install UB-Mannheim.TesseractOCR), and everything else works either way.

Where results go

When a tool makes a new PDF, it goes into a scratch folder instead of your own folders, and you get back a short id like art_a1b2c3d4.pdf. Tools accept those ids anywhere they accept a file path, so several steps can be chained together.

Results carry the artifact's path as well as its id, so you can open a rendered page or an intermediate file straight away without exporting it first.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
