Frequently asked questions
Can I merge multiple PDF files into one?
Yes. Use start_pdf_task with task type 'merge', then upload each PDF with upload_pdf_by_url, and finally call process_pdf_task to execute. Use get_pdf_download_link to retrieve the merged result.
Does iLovePDF require two credentials?
Yes. iLovePDF uses a Public Key and Secret Key pair. The server exchanges these for a JWT token automatically via api.ilovepdf.com/v1. No manual token management required.
Can I track the status of a PDF processing task?
Yes. Use get_task_status with the task ID to check progress. Use list_pdf_tasks to see all tasks with their current status (pending, processing, completed, failed).
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http "" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
