Implementation Reference
- The core handler function for the 'pdf_rotate_page' tool. Decorated with @mcp.tool() for automatic registration in FastMCP. Validates input PDF and page, rotates the specified page using PyMuPDF's set_rotation(), generates output filename, and saves the modified PDF.@mcp.tool() async def pdf_rotate_page( pdf_path: str, page_number: int, rotation: int ) -> str: """Rotate 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 rotation not in [90, 180, 270]: return f"Error: Invalid rotation angle. Must be 90, 180, or 270 degrees." try: # Open PDF document doc = fitz.open(pdf_path) # Validate page number if not validate_page_number(doc, page_number): doc.close() return f"Error: Invalid page number {page_number}. Document has {len(doc)} pages." # Get the page and rotate it page = doc[page_number] page.set_rotation(rotation) # Generate output filename output_path = generate_output_filename(pdf_path) # Save the modified PDF doc.save(output_path) doc.close() return f"Successfully rotated page {page_number + 1} by {rotation} degrees. Output saved to: {output_path}" except Exception as e: return f"Error rotating page: {str(e)}"
- Helper function used by pdf_rotate_page to validate the page number exists in the document.def validate_page_number(doc: fitz.Document, page_num: int) -> bool: """Validate that the page number exists in the document.""" return 0 <= page_num < len(doc)
- Helper function used by pdf_rotate_page to validate the input is a valid PDF file.def validate_pdf_file(pdf_path: str) -> bool: """Validate that the file is a valid PDF.""" try: doc = fitz.open(pdf_path) doc.close() return True except Exception: return False
- Helper function used by pdf_rotate_page to generate a timestamped output filename.def generate_output_filename(input_path: str, suffix: str = "modified") -> str: """Generate a new filename with timestamp to avoid overwriting originals.""" path = Path(input_path) timestamp = datetime.now().strftime("%Y%m%d_%H%M%S") return str(path.parent / f"{path.stem}_{suffix}_{timestamp}{path.suffix}")
