"Tools and applications for reading PDF files" matching MCP servers:

The local PDF workflow for Claude Desktop and MCP hosts: fill, sign, merge, split, extract, and analyze PDFs without sending files to a web app.

Enables document conversion between PDF, DOCX, and Markdown formats to facilitate reading and editing complex files in AI tools like Claude Desktop or Cursor. It utilizes marker-pdf and pandoc to provide structured text versions of documents, helping to manage context and support unsupported file types.

An MCP server that enables users to read, search, and analyze PDF documents. It provides tools for extracting text, viewing metadata, searching content with context, and generating word statistics.

mcp using PyPDF2 to: • merge-pdfs • extract-pages • search-pdfs • merge-pdfs-ordered (merge in user spec. order) • find-related-pdfs (regex extracted text for related PDF files)

Enables local EPUB reading with AI agents, supporting annotations, parallel editions, and MCP tools.

A 4-stage reading companion that helps users set reading goals, discover books, track progress, and deepen learning through reflection, integrated with Claude Desktop.

Enables Claude Code or Codex CLI to see the exact sentence and section you are viewing in Chrome, so you can discuss books with context, take notes, and track reading progress.

Enables AI agents to perform local video, audio, and file operations inside an isolated workspace, including cutting/concat videos, extracting audio, transcribing, and managing files, with typed responses and background job support.

Enables Claude Cowork on Windows to read, write, edit, list, find, and regex-search files inside a WSL distribution over stdio, accepting Windows and Linux path spellings. Access is confined to server-fixed roots, with secrets files refused, key-shaped strings redacted, and no delete or move operations.

A lightweight MCP server for basic file operations, enabling reading, writing, and listing files securely via the Model Context Protocol.

A low-token human-AI co-reading MCP tool that imports local EPUB/TXT/Markdown books into chunks, enabling AI to read only relevant fragments and write co-reading results to long-term reading notes and progress files.

An MCP server for reading, rendering, and searching PDF files, specifically optimized for LLMs to extract text, tables, and technical diagrams. It enables metadata retrieval, multi-format text extraction, and page-to-image rendering using PyMuPDF.

A local stdio MCP server for managing files on XServer via SFTP, enabling secure file operations, backups, and workspace management for XServer hosting.

Generates test files locally (images, PDFs, CSVs, corrupted files, etc.) from natural language prompts, with configurable sizes and safety limits.

A Model Context Protocol server that enables AI agents to read, search, and extract content from PDF files.

Enables exporting Apple Safari Reading List entries to JSON and adding new items via MCP on macOS.

Enables ChatGPT/Codex to read, search, and edit files in a single allowed folder on Windows through OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel.

A local vector database system that provides LLM coding agents with fast, efficient semantic search capabilities for software projects via the Message Control Protocol.

Stdio MCP server for sandboxed file access — read files, search content, safely edit with checksums, and manage file structure.

An MCP server that provides tools for reading, writing, and manipulating PDF files, including text extraction, metadata retrieval, and merging or splitting documents. It also enables users to create PDFs from plain text and convert specific pages or entire documents into images.

Enables PDF file manipulation including merging, splitting, extracting pages, extracting text, excluding pages, and reordering pages.

An MCP server for local testing that enables file management operations, requiring authentication via Microsoft identity platform credentials.

Enables AI agents to search and query the public DOJ Epstein Files release across 20 databases, resolve EFTA numbers to official DOJ PDFs, and cross-check viral claims against a fact-checked registry.

A local MCP server that enables AI applications like Claude Desktop to securely access and work with Obsidian vaults, providing capabilities for reading notes, executing templates, and performing semantic searches.

Enables AI agents to safely explore directories, read files, search content by pattern or filename, and edit files with checksum verification and dry-run preview within sandboxed filesystem access.

Enables precise extraction of PDF content, including text coordinates, vector shapes, images, and on-demand raster rendering, for use cases like reconstructing design files.

Enables AI assistants to natively read, edit, and redact PDF documents in place through MCP tools, eliminating manual script execution and layout issues.

A local-first MCP server that ingests PDFs, extracts structure, and provides semantic search and sequential navigation tools for AI clients to query and learn from documents.

Turn markdown into designed PDFs with cover page, table of contents, and code blocks that hold across pages. One command from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Zed, or any MCP-capable client.

Enables PDF processing and analysis including text extraction, metadata retrieval, search, page manipulation, splitting/merging, conversion to images, and form handling.
