PDF MCP Server

by jeius

MCP Servers

A monorepo of Model Context Protocol servers. Each server under packages/ is an independently buildable, testable, and publishable MCP server that runs over stdio.

Packages

Package

Description

@jeius-mcp-servers/pdf

Reads PDF files from local disk; returns text and positional structure to an LLM host over stdio.

@jeius-mcp-servers/runner

Internal runner (mcp-serve) that builds and runs any server in the workspace by name. Not a server itself.

Quickstart

pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm test
pnpm lint

Requires Node >=22 and pnpm (managed via corepack — the packageManager field in the root package.json pins the exact version).

Usage

Servers are run through the runner binary, mcp-serve, which the root delegates to with pnpm serve <name>.

Run a server (builds first, then runs over stdio):

pnpm serve pdf

Develop a server (watches src/, rebuilds, and respawns on a clean rebuild; keeps the last-good server running on a compile error):

pnpm serve pdf --dev

Skip the build precondition when you know the build is current (run-only; ignored by --dev):

pnpm serve pdf --no-build

Point an MCP host at a server by invoking the mcp-serve bin directly with the server name as the argument:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdf": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/node_modules/.bin/mcp-serve",
      "args": ["pdf"]
    }
  }
}

A typo'd name prints the list of known servers to stderr and exits non-zero.

Each package has its own AGENTS.md, CONTEXT.md, docs/ (PRD, architecture, tech-stack, plan, adr/), src/, and tests/.

Documentation

  • Agent guide: AGENTS.md

  • Decisions: docs/adr/ — repo-wide ADRs; package-specific ADRs live in packages/<name>/docs/adr/

  • Domain glossaries: each packages/<name>/CONTEXT.md
