From the README
# pdf-mcp **Agentic RAG over your PDFs, one file or a whole folder, as a single MCP tool.** The agent decides when to search; pdf-mcp does the retrieval and hands back excerpts. It is an [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that lets Claude Code and other AI agents search one PDF or a whole folder by meaning or keyword, read only the pages that matter, and cleanly pull out tables, images, and scanned text, even from multi-column and Japanese layouts, with optional CUDA acceleration for warming large corpora. **mcp-name: io.github.jztan/pdf-mcp** ## Try it in your browser **[See what your AI agent sees →](https://pdf-mcp.jztan.com/)** Drop in any PDF, or a whole folder of them, and watch an agent triage the corpus, search across every document at once, and read only the pages that matter, using a fraction of the tokens. 100% client-side, no install required. <p align="center"> <a href="https://pdf-mcp.jztan.com/"></a> </p> ## Why pdf-mcp? | | Without pdf-mcp | WithRead full README on GitHub →
