Implementation Reference
- The handler function decorated with @mcp.tool() that implements the pdf_crop_page tool. It opens the PDF using PyMuPDF, validates inputs, adjusts coordinates if needed for 'rect' mode, sets the cropbox on the specified page, saves to a new file, and returns the output path.@mcp.tool() async def pdf_crop_page( pdf_path: str, page_number: int, x0: float, y0: float, x1: float, y1: float, coordinate_mode: str = "bbox" ) -> str: """Crop a page in a PDF.""" if not os.path.exists(pdf_path): return f"Error: PDF file not found: {pdf_path}" if not validate_pdf_file(pdf_path): return f"Error: Invalid PDF file: {pdf_path}" if coordinate_mode not in ["bbox", "rect"]: return f"Error: Invalid coordinate_mode.
