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.

}The EasyPDF app is under review for the ChatGPT app directory. Until then, add it in developer mode on chatgpt.com:
In Settings, open Apps, then Advanced settings, and turn on developer mode.
Create an app named EasyPDF with the URL https://www.easypdf.fr/chatgpt/mcp and no authentication.
In a chat, attach a PDF and pick EasyPDF from the + menu.

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.
"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.
