  Firecrawl MCP Server

  Community favourite

  firecrawl/firecrawl-mcp-server ↗

  Best for: Parsing a PDF or supported document into Markdown or schema-matched JSON: the firecrawl_parse tool handles PDFs, Word files, and other supported documents.

  The server exposes 28 tools for web search, scraping, crawling, mapping, browser interaction, document parsing, monitoring, and research paper searches, returning Markdown or structured JSON. Its hosted keyless endpoint exposes only scrape, search, and parse, so crawl, map, and agent work require a Firecrawl API key.

  MCP Local RAG indexes PDF, DOCX, Markdown and text files inside configured directories and exposes 9 tools, including sync_start and sync_status for reconciling the index with disk, query_documents for hybrid keyword and semantic search, read_chunk_neighbors for surrounding context, and ingest_file and ingest_data for adding single items. It requires Node.js 22.20 or later and internet access on first use to download the npm package and embedding model (about 90 MB), and it does not support Excel, PowerPoint, standalone images or source-code file extensions.

  PDF Tools

  Open-Document-Alliance/PDF-Tools ↗

  Best for: Local Claude Desktop PDF workflows: it documents form filling, signing, merge/split, extraction, rendering, and analysis through local file operations.

  PDF Tools is a local MCP server for Claude Desktop and other local hosts, with README-documented interfaces for an interactive viewer, form filling, signing, page organization, URL-to-PDF fetching, extraction, rendering, and analysis through scoped local file operations. Before choosing it, note that it directly reads and writes only active folders, so Claude Desktop users must add any other folder to the Allowed PDF Directories field.

  Docling MCP provides 21 tools for document conversion, cache management, document generation and editing, and export to Markdown or JSON. Remote mode is the default and requires a Docling Serve instance with DOCLING_MCP_SERVICE_URL and DOCLING_MCP_SERVICE_API_KEY, while local conversion requires installing docling-mcp[local].

  Kentucky-ai/opentakeoff ↗

  Best for: Construction estimating from PDF plan sets: it opens plan PDFs, sets and verifies drawing scale, measures rooms and lengths, and exports takeoff quantities.

  The server exposes 62 tools for loading plan PDFs, setting and verifying sheet scale, measuring polygons, lines, surfaces and counts, and exporting takeoff, DXF, report and estimate outputs over stdio via npx. It requires Node 20 or newer and runs locally over stdio, so the MCP client must be able to launch it as a local command.

  XERJ

  Best for: Agents answering questions over local PDFs, docs and code with cited file:line passages: the README documents MCP-native BM25 plus kNN search over locally built indexes.

  XERJ documents itself as an MCP-native search server and CLI for querying locally indexed code, docs, logs, JSONL/CSV and PDFs, with an llms.txt entry point for agents and an autoindexing command-line interface. Before installing, note that it publishes no npm or PyPI package, so the single Rust binary has to be taken from the GitHub releases or built from source, and the default embedder is lexical and offline, with the neural one an opt-in download.

  Docling-rs MCP

  Best for: Extracting structure-preserving Markdown from scanned or table-heavy PDFs inside an agent pipeline: convert_to_markdown runs layout analysis, table recognition and OCR in a single call.

  It exposes three tools: convert, which takes a target format and conversion options and returns the result as text, convert_to_markdown, which serves MarkItDown's tool of the same name and contract with default settings, and list_input_formats, which lists the file extensions it handles and whether it accepts http(s) URLs. PDF, image and audio conversion require the ONNX models to be downloaded separately (under 1 GB, fetched by the install script or a one-time download call), while Office, HTML, Markdown and e-mail formats convert without them.

  Best for: Turning a folder of PDFs into a citable, question-answerable notebook: source_add ingests PDFs and chat_ask returns grounded answers with citation metadata.

  notebooklm-skill exposes 38 tools over stdio MCP that create notebooks, add sources from URLs, text, local files and Google Drive, ask grounded questions, run research sessions, and generate or download Studio artifacts such as slides, reports and quizzes. It is an unofficial integration with NotebookLM's web API, so it assumes a Google account with NotebookLM access and a one-time browser login through Chromium, Chrome or Edge before any tool will work.

  MCP PDF

  Steady▼ 1

  rsp2k/mcp-pdf ↗

  Best for: Working with scanned or text-based PDFs in an MCP client: it exposes OCR, text and table extraction, form handling, and XFA schema extraction tools.

  MCP PDF is a FastMCP server that documents tools for extracting text, tables, images, links, and vector graphics; running OCR; handling AcroForm and XFA forms; assembling documents; annotating PDFs; and converting between PDF and Markdown. Before choosing it, note that OCR requires Tesseract, and markdown_to_pdf requires the pandoc binary plus at least one PDF engine on PATH.

  Open Design

  Community favouriteNew

  feimacode/open-design-agent-kit ↗

  Best for: Creating posters, social posts, slides, or landing pages inside an MCP-capable coding agent: it documents generation using design systems and PDF, PNG, and PowerPoint export.

  The Open Design repository documents an MCP server for Cursor and other MCP-capable agents, plus integrations that generate posters, social posts, slides, and landing pages with PDF, PNG, and PowerPoint export; its MCP tool list has not been inspected. No npm package is listed as published, so the documented npx MCP installation path cannot be confirmed.

  zotero-cli-cc

  Steady

  Agents365-ai/zotero-cli-ai ↗

  Best for: Zotero users who want an agent to search and read their library offline: it queries the local SQLite database and extracts cached PDF full text.

  It ships a Zotero command line tool, zot, that doubles as an MCP server through zot mcp serve, covering item reads, Web API writes, ranked full-text search against Zotero's full-text index, and PDF text extraction. Reads work offline against the auto-detected local Zotero data directory, but writes require a Zotero Web API key configured first.

  pdf-mcp

  SteadyNew

  I-CAN-hack/pdf-mcp ↗

  Best for: Reading datasheets and technical PDFs mixing text, tables and diagrams: it extracts page text in several formats, renders pages as PNG, and searches the file.

  It exposes 5 tools: PDF metadata and table-of-contents lookup, page text extraction in json, text, markdown or html, single-page PNG rendering at a configurable DPI, and case-insensitive search across the whole document. No package is published to PyPI or npm, so the documented setup installs and runs it from the git repository through uvx.

  LaserPDF

  Steady▼ 3

  BatuhanCakmakk/laserpdf ↗

  Best for: Redacting text in PDFs before sharing: redact_pdf removes every occurrence from a new copy and remove_metadata strips hidden information.

  LaserPDF is a Windows PDF viewer and editor whose built-in MCP server exposes 15 tools for extracting and searching text, OCR in English and Turkish, redaction, metadata removal, table export, page merging, extraction, and rotation. The interface is a built-in MCP server in a Windows desktop app, not an npm or PyPI package, so setup depends on installing and running LaserPDF on the same Windows PC.
