Headless PDF management with Claude Code

Run document tasks directly from your terminal session. Use `start_pdf_task` to kick off compression or merging in your shell scripts. It works without a GUI, making it perfect for your local dev environment. You control the entire flow via standard CLI commands.

Pipeline integration for your MCP Server

Pipe document processing into your existing automation. `upload_pdf_by_url` allows you to fetch files directly from your remote servers. This fits right into your CI/CD workflow. You can trigger complex PDF transformations as part of your standard terminal build process.

Get your processed files back into your local directory instantly. The agent uses `get_pdf_download_link` to output the result path to your console. You can then move or rename the file with standard shell commands. It keeps your workflow fast and entirely text-based.
