What is the PDF.co MCP Server?

Connect your PDF.co account to any AI agent and take full control of your document orchestration and data extraction through natural conversation. PDF.co provides a professional-grade suite of tools for PDF manipulation, allowing you to convert files to various formats, perform high-fidelity OCR on scanned images, and manage document security directly from your chat interface.

What you can do

  • Document Conversion Orchestration — Convert PDFs and images to plain text, JSON, CSV, or XML programmatically to ensure your data pipelines are always synchronized.
  • High-Fidelity OCR Intelligence — Perform high-resolution OCR on scanned documents and handwritten text directly from the AI interface to extract critical metadata.
  • Data Extraction & Merging — Extract tables and metadata or merge multiple PDF files via natural language to maintain a high-fidelity document repository.
  • Security & Protection Control — Add or remove password protection and manage PDF security settings using simple AI commands.
  • Operational Monitoring — Track background job statuses and manage account balance to ensure your document production is always optimized.

How it works

1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your PDF.co API Key from your dashboard settings
3. Start managing your document processing from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can my AI automatically find and extract a specific table from a PDF?

Yes! Use the convert_to_csv or convert_to_json tools. Your agent will respond with the structured tabular data from the document in seconds, ready for analysis.

02

How do I find my PDF.co API Key?

Log in to your PDF.co account, navigate to the main dashboard, and you will find your unique secret API key (starting with your email reference or key string) there.

03

Does this support handwritten text recognition?

Absolutely. PDF.co's high-fidelity OCR engine is designed to handle both printed and handwritten text with high accuracy across multiple languages.

04

How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?

Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.

05

Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?

Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.

06

Does the SDK support streaming responses?

Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
