What its tools let an agent do: 1 read
Install Packforai in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y packforai-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the Packforai repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
PackForAI MCP server
Convert PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, CSV and JSON into clean, compact, AI-ready Markdown, directly inside Claude, Cursor and any other MCP client. Powered by PackForAI.
Instead of pasting a messy PDF into your AI (broken text, lost tables, wasted tokens), ask your assistant to convert it first: it comes back as clean Markdown with up to 65% fewer tokens.
What you need
- Node.js 18+
- A PackForAI API key (Pro plan). Create one at packforai.com/account.
Install
The server runs via npx, so there is nothing to install globally. Add it to your MCP client's config.
Claude Desktop
Edit claudedesktopconfig.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config) and add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"packforai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "packforai-mcp"],
"env": { "PACKFORAI_API_KEY": "your_key_here" }
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop.
Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):
{
"mcpServers": {
"packforai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "packforai-mcp"],
"env": { "PACKFORAI_API_KEY": "your_key_here" }
}
}
}Usage
Once connected, just ask your assistant, for example:
- "Convert ~/Downloads/Q4-report.pdf to clean Markdown."
- "Fetch https://example.com/spec.docx and give me the AI-ready version."
- "Convert this scanned PDF with OCR: /path/to/scan.pdf."
Tool
convertdocument**
Provide either path or url. Returns the Markdown plus a token-savings summary.
Config
- PACKFORAIAPIKEY (required) — your PackForAI API key.
- PACKFORAIBASEURL (optional) — override the API base (defaults to https://packforai.com/api/v1).
