How to Use the iLovePDF MCP in Windsurf
Windsurf handles PDF manipulation directly in your editor. Merge, split, and compress files without leaving your workspace.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect iLovePDF MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect iLovePDF to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate document tasks in Windsurf
Cascade doesn't wait for your input for every file operation. You point it at a PDF, and it triggers `start_pdf_task` to handle your merge or compression job immediately. Once the server initiates the queue, the agent monitors progress using `get_task_status`. It chains these operations to ensure your document is ready without manual intervention.
Remote ingestion for your MCP Server
Stop downloading files just to process them. Use `upload_pdf_by_url` to pull documents directly from the web into your workflow. This MCP Server keeps your local directory clean. It handles the heavy lifting on the backend and prepares the file for your next step.
Instant access to processed files
Stop hunting for finished documents in your downloads folder. The agent uses `get_pdf_download_link` to grab the result the second it's ready. Windsurf presents the final file right in your chat panel. You get the processed document back in your project folder instantly.
