pdf-mcp

Turn tables in PDF and Word documents into Excel, CSV, or JSON. Use the simple browser app with no agent setup, or connect the same deterministic extraction tools to an AI agent through MCP.

The browser app is for direct table conversion. It previews the extracted rows, highlights basic structure warnings, and keeps files on your computer. Advanced profile checking can additionally validate named fields, preserve source evidence, and return accepted, needs_review, or rejected for a recurring document workflow. Cell values come from document parsers, not generated model output.

Need a profile and measured baseline for real documents? See the Document Reliability Pilot. Agents can use the structured offer at offers/document-to-excel-pilot.json.

Website: simple conversion, local tools, and the free hosted agent beta.

Current limitation: PDF extraction supports born-digital documents. Scanned or image-only PDFs

require OCR, which is not included. An accepted decision means the configured checks passed; it

does not prove that the source document itself is correct.

Simple browser app

This is the easiest way to use pdf-mcp. It requires no Python, terminal, MCP client, or agent configuration after downloading the app.

Convert document.

  1. Open the v0.4.0 release.
  2. Download the pdf-mcp-app ZIP for 64-bit Windows, an Apple silicon Mac, or 64-bit Linux.
  3. Unzip it and open pdf-mcp-app.
  4. Your browser opens. Drop in a PDF or Word document, choose Excel, CSV, or JSON, and select

Use Stop app in the browser when finished. The app listens only on your computer. Temporary document copies are deleted immediately after conversion, and prepared downloads expire after 30 minutes or when the app stops. The community beta downloads are currently unsigned, so the operating system may ask you to confirm that you want to open them.

If Python is already installed, the same interface can be started with:

python -m pip install "pdf-agent-mcp @ https://github.com/wesseltl/pdf-mcp/releases/download/v0.4.0/pdf_agent_mcp-0.4.0-py3-none-any.whl"
pdf-mcp-app

The simple app performs raw table extraction. “No basic structure problems detected” is not an accuracy guarantee. Check important values before using them, or use a profile-checked pilot for a recurring business workflow.

For agents: local or free hosted beta

The normal pdf-agent-mcp command remains local, MIT licensed, network-free, and telemetry-free. For people who explicitly want a measured agent beta, pdf-agent-cloud-mcp uploads only the selected document for one authenticated operation.

Profile checking and evaluation currently run in the local edition or as part of the paid pilot. The free hosted beta currently exposes raw text, table, and CSV extraction only.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
