About Stirling PDF MCP Server

Connect your Stirling PDF instance to any AI agent and take full control of your document workflows through natural conversation. This server allows you to process PDF files, convert formats, and monitor your self-hosted infrastructure.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Stirling PDF tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 11 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

What you can do

Document Manipulation — Add text watermarks with custom opacity and font sizes, or convert images directly into PDF documents.
Digital Security — Sign PDF documents using certificates with specific reasons and location metadata.
Server Monitoring — Track application status, version info, and detailed request metrics (POST/GET) across all endpoints.
Advanced Operations — Use the generic tool runner to access specialized features like merging, splitting, or extracting images from PDFs.
Enterprise Metrics — Access Prometheus metrics for deep observability into your document processing pipeline.

The Stirling PDF MCP Server exposes 11 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Stirling PDF + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Stirling PDF MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
