Kitbag MCP
Click on "Install 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., "@Kitbag MCPextract text from report.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.
Kitbag MCP is a single, open-source Model Context Protocol server that bundles a curated library of 50+ high-value utility tools β document converters, OCR processors, web scrapers, data formatters, and AI developer utilities β all in one place.
Instead of installing, configuring, and paying to host a dozen single-purpose MCP servers, install Kitbag MCP once and selectively enable only the modules you need. It runs entirely on your machine: zero hosting costs, no API keys, no server setup.
