Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@EasyPDF MCP Server change the due date 17/10/2026 to 31/10/2026 in this invoice PDF"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Your AI says what to change. EasyPDF writes it into the PDF.

EasyPDF is a remote Model Context Protocol server that lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, VS Code and any MCP client edit real PDF files. Ask your assistant to fix a date, an amount, a name or a typo: EasyPDF rewrites the text inside the original PDF, keeps the fonts and the layout, and shows a before/after preview in the chat. It also compresses, merges, splits, converts and translates PDFs.

21-second demo: one request, two edits written into the original invoice (fonts and layout kept), then the download. Also available as a GIF preview.

The EasyPDF plugin adds the server plus skills that upload your local files and save the results next to them:
claude plugin marketplace add Lorenzino69/easypdf-claude-plugin
claude plugin install easypdf@easypdfOr the server alone. Keep the trailing slash: without it, Claude Code rejects the OAuth resource.

}EasyPDF is published in the ChatGPT app directory: open https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6aa964ee34848191b5db7ae9bd2ca5b5 and add the app. Then, in a chat, attach a PDF and pick EasyPDF from the + menu.
You can also add the server yourself in developer mode:
In Settings, open Apps, then Advanced settings, and turn on developer mode.

In a chat, attach a PDF and pick EasyPDF from the + menu.
Tool | What it does |
| Replaces text in the original PDF (dates, amounts, names, typos) with the same font, size and position. Returns a before/after preview widget (MCP Apps) and reports each replacement, with the closest match when a text is not found. |
| Gives the user a one-hour upload link when the client cannot pass a file to the server. |
| Reduces the file size. |
| Merges several PDFs in order. |
| Splits a PDF into files of N pages. |
| Keeps only the listed pages. |
| Rotates all or some pages by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. |
| Adds page numbers. |
| Adds a text watermark. |
| Adds a password. |
| Removes a known password. |
| Converts to .docx. |
| Converts to .xlsx. |
| Converts to .pptx. |

The ChatGPT endpoint exposes the tools that work on ChatGPT attachments: edit_pdf_text, compress_pdf, merge_pdfs, split_pdf, extract_pages, rotate_pdf, add_page_numbers, protect_pdf and unlock_pdf.
Every tool returns a download link valid for one hour.
Prompt | What it does |
| Change dates, amounts, names or typos inside an existing PDF, keeping its fonts and layout. |
| Shrink a PDF until it fits an upload limit (job portal, university, visa form, email). |
| Translate a PDF into another language and get a PDF back with the layout kept. |
In Claude Code they appear as /mcp__easypdf__fix_pdf_text and so on. The ChatGPT endpoint offers fix_pdf_text and compress_pdf_under_limit.
"In this invoice, change the due date 17/10/2026 to 31/10/2026 and keep the layout."
"Fix the spelling mistakes in my resume directly in the PDF."
"Replace "Example Ltd" with "Example Consulting Inc." everywhere in this contract."
"Compress this PDF under 2 MB so I can upload it to an online form."
Uploaded PDFs are used during processing and deleted within one hour.
Output files are available through a download link for one hour, then deleted.
Text edits run without any AI model on the EasyPDF side: your assistant decides what to change, EasyPDF applies the replacements exactly.
EasyPDF receives the file and the tool arguments, never the rest of your conversation.
