Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Pdf Toolkit MCP Tools (22)

pdf_extract_text

Extract text content from a PDF file. Returns first 10 pages by default to avoid exceeding LLM context limits. Use the 'pages' parameter for specific pages.

pdf_get_metadata

Get metadata from a PDF file including title, author, subject, page count, creation/modification dates, and producer information.

pdf_get_form_fields

List all form fields in a PDF with their names, types, current values, and required status. Returns hasForm: false for PDFs without forms.

pdf_to_markdown

Convert a PDF to clean, reading-order Markdown for LLM consumption: reconstructs up to 2 content columns (plus full-width title/footer bands), infers headings from font size, and detects bullet/numbered lists. Pages with 3 or more columns fall back to single-column reading order. Tables are emitted as plain reading-order text, NOT reconstructed as Markdown tables. Best on clean, digital (text-based) PDFs; degrades on scanned/image-only PDFs (use pdf_render_pages for those) and very complex layouts. Returns the first 10 pages by default.
