PDF Toolkit tools (18, 2 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • add_page_numbers

    Stamp page numbers onto a PDF. Configure starting number, which pages to number, and placement (top/bottom + left/center/right).

  • add_watermark

    Stamp a text or image watermark onto every page of a PDF. For mode="text", provide `text`. For mode="image", provide `image_file` (.jpg/.jpeg/.png). Tune placement, rotation, and opacity as needed.

  • compress_pdf

    Reduce the file size of a PDF. Choose compression_level "low", "recommended" (default), or "extreme". Outputs a .pdf file on disk and returns its path.

  • extract_pdf_pages

    Extract a subset of pages from a PDF into a new PDF. Specify pages as a list or range, e.g. "1,3,5-7".

  • html_to_pdf

    Convert a local HTML file (.html or .htm) to a PDF. The HTML is rendered server-side; external assets referenced by the file may not be fetched.

  • image_to_pdf

    Combine one or more images (.jpg, .jpeg, .png) into a single PDF, one image per page, in the order provided.

  • merge_pdf

    Merge two or more PDF files into a single PDF, preserving order. Outputs a .pdf file on disk and returns its path.

  • ocr_pdfwrite action

    Run OCR on a PDF to make scanned text selectable/searchable. Accepts one or more language codes (e.g. "eng", "spa"). Large or image-heavy PDFs can take more than 60 seconds.

  • office_to_pdf

    Convert a Microsoft Office document (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint) to a PDF. Accepts .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, and .pptx files.

  • pdf_to_excel

    Convert a PDF to a Microsoft Excel .xlsx spreadsheet. Works best when the source PDF contains clear tabular data; non-tabular PDFs may produce messy results.

  • pdf_to_jpg

    Convert a PDF to JPG images. In "pages" mode (default) each page becomes a JPG; in "extract" mode only embedded images are pulled out. Returns a .zip archive of the images.

  • pdf_to_powerpoint

    Convert a PDF to a Microsoft PowerPoint .pptx presentation. Each PDF page becomes an editable slide; conversion quality depends on the source.

  • pdf_to_word

    Convert a PDF to an editable Microsoft Word .docx document. Conversion quality depends on the source (scanned PDFs produce poor results; use ocr_pdf first if needed).

  • protect_pdf

    Add password protection to a PDF. Anyone opening the output will need the supplied password.

  • repair_pdf

    Attempt to repair a damaged or malformed PDF. Useful for scanned PDFs that fail to open or render correctly in some readers. Produces a .pdf file on disk.

  • rotate_pdf

    Rotate pages in a PDF by 90, 180, or 270 degrees clockwise. Target specific pages with "pages" (e.g. "1,3,5" or "1-5"), or rotate all pages by default.

  • split_pdf

    Split a PDF into multiple PDFs by page ranges (e.g. "1-3,5-7") or into fixed-size chunks. Returns a .zip archive containing the resulting PDFs.

  • unlock_pdfwrite action

    Remove password protection from a PDF. Requires the correct password. Produces an unprotected .pdf file on disk.

Install PDF Toolkit in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y pdf-toolkit-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

🚀 Quick tour

After installation, just talk to Claude. The model figures out which tools to call:

You: Merge invoice-jan.pdf and invoice-feb.pdf into Q1.pdf, then compress it hard
     and lock it with the password "2026q1".

Claude (planning):
  1. merge_pdf     → invoice-jan.pdf + invoice-feb.pdf  →  Q1.pdf
  2. compress_pdf  → Q1.pdf                             →  Q1-compressed.pdf  (level: extreme)
  3. protect_pdf   → Q1-compressed.pdf                  →  Q1-compressed-protected.pdf

Claude (result):
  ✅ Created ~/docs/Q1-compressed-protected.pdf (312 KB, password-protected).
