PDF has {len(reader.pages)} pages (0-{len(reader.pages)-1})") # Extract text from the specified page page = reader.pages[page_number] page_text = page.extract_text() if not page_text: page_text = f"No extractable text found on page {page_number}" return [ types.TextContent( type="text", text=f"Text from page {page_number} of '{os.path.basename(pdf_paths[pdf_id])}':\n\n{page_text}", ) ] - src/pdf_reader_mcp/server.py:395-406 (registration)Registers the 'get-pdf-page-text' tool with MCP server, providing name, description, and JSON schema for input validation (pdf_id and page_number required).
