# Introduction
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the PDF Reader MCP Server documentation!
|
|
|
|
This server provides a secure and efficient way for AI agents (like Cline) using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to interact with PDF files located within a user's project directory.
|
|
|
|
## What Problem Does It Solve?
|
|
|
|
AI agents often need information from PDFs (reports, invoices, manuals). Directly feeding PDF content is impractical due to format and size. This server offers specific tools to extract:
|
|
|
|
- Full text content
|
|
- Text from specific pages
|
|
- Metadata (author, title, etc.)
|
|
- Total page count
|
|
|
|
All interactions happen securely within the defined project boundaries.
|
|
|
|
## Core Principles
|
|
|
|
- **Security:** Confined file access.
|
|
- **Efficiency:** Structured data retrieval, avoiding large raw content transfer.
|
|
- **Simplicity:** Easy integration into MCP-enabled agent workflows.
