What is PDF Reader?

PDF Reader is a server tool based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), specifically designed for reading and processing PDF files. It allows AI assistants (such as Claude) to access the content of PDF documents, extract text information, and conduct document analysis. This tool seamlessly integrates PDF reading functionality into the AI workflow, enabling you to process PDF documents directly through conversations.

How to use PDF Reader?

Using PDF Reader is very simple: First, add the server configuration to the Claude Desktop configuration file, and then start Claude Desktop. When you need to process a PDF file, simply tell the AI assistant which PDF file you want to read, and the system will automatically call the PDF Reader tool to extract the document content.

Applicable scenarios

PDF Reader is particularly suitable for the following scenarios: 1. Need to quickly extract the text content from PDF documents 2. Analyze research reports, technical documents, or academic papers 3. Process legal documents such as contracts and agreements 4. Extract data from PDF - formatted reports 5. Read e - books or manuals 6. Process OCR text from scanned documents
