windows-print-mcp

An MCP server that lets Claude (or any MCP client) print PDF files on your Windows PC.

한국어 설명은 아래에 있습니다.

Ask things like "Print the PDF in my Downloads folder, pages 1-3, two copies, black and white" and it goes straight to your printer.

Tool

What it does

list_printers

Lists installed printers and marks the default one

print_pdf

Prints a PDF. Options: printer, copies (1–20), pages (e.g. 1-3,5), monochrome, duplex (long edge)

Related MCP server: printagent

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11

  • Node.js 18 or newer

Install

Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add this to claude_desktop_config.json (if mcpServers already exists, add only the "print" entry inside it):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "print": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "windows-print-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Fully quit Claude Desktop (tray icon → Quit) and start it again.

Claude Code

claude mcp add print -- npx -y windows-print-mcp

Other clients (Cursor, VS Code, …)

Use command npx with args -y windows-print-mcp over stdio.

How it works

Each page is rendered with the built-in Windows PDF engine (Windows.Data.Pdf, 300 DPI) and sent to the printer through .NET System.Drawing.Printing. No extra PDF viewer needs to be installed.

Notes

  • Only .pdf files can be printed. Paths can be absolute (C:\Users\me\Downloads\a.pdf) or start with ~.

  • Duplex only works if the printer supports automatic two-sided printing.

  • Printing uses real paper and ink — your MCP client will normally ask before calling print_pdf.

한국어

Claude가 내 Windows PC에 연결된 프린터로 PDF를 바로 인쇄할 수 있게 해 주는 MCP 커넥터입니다. "다운로드 폴더에 있는 PDF 1~3쪽만 흑백으로 2부 뽑아 줘"처럼 말하면 됩니다.

도구

  • list_printers : 설치된 프린터 목록과 기본 프린터

  • print_pdf : PDF 인쇄 (프린터, 매수, 쪽 범위, 흑백, 양면 선택)

설치 (Claude 데스크톱 앱)

  1. Node.js LTS 버전을 설치합니다.

  2. Claude 앱 설정 → 개발자 → 구성 편집을 눌러 claude_desktop_config.json을 엽니다.

  3. 아래 내용을 넣습니다. 이미 mcpServers가 있으면 "print" 항목만 그 안에 추가하세요.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "print": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "windows-print-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
  1. Claude 앱을 완전히 종료(트레이 아이콘 → 종료)했다가 다시 켭니다.

양면 인쇄는 자동 양면 기능이 있는 프린터에서만 됩니다.
