Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
pdf-report-generator
An MCP server that generates professional corporate PDF reports from structured JSON specs or raw LLM text output. Drop it into Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) and ask Claude to turn analysis, research, or meeting notes into a polished multi-page report complete with cover page, table of contents, executive summary, section headings, tables, and charts.
A sample output is at examples/sample_report.pdf.

Troubleshooting
Python not found — ensure python or python3 is on your PATH and is version 3.8+.
reportlab not installed — run pip install reportlab matplotlib.
Charts missing — matplotlib is required for charts. Install it with pip install matplotlib.
Large PDFs — complex specs with many charts can take 5–15 seconds. This is normal.

TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
The two generate tools have distinct input types (raw text vs structured JSON) and clear descriptions, but their similar names could cause misselection if an agent reads quickly. list_themes is clearly separate.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: generate_report_from_text, generate_report, list_themes. The names are predictable and descriptive.
With 3 tools, the server is slightly on the lean side but still within a reasonable scope. Each tool has a clear purpose and no redundant tools are present.
The server covers the main report generation needs: unstructured text, structured JSON, and theme customization. Minor gaps like additional output formats or template management exist but aren't critical for the core domain.
