PDF MCP server FAQ

What is the best PDF MCP server?

Based on GitHub stars and recent activity, kordoc by chrisryugj (★ 2.4k, updated today) is the most popular actively maintained option on HookMCP, followed by anymd and mineru-tianshu. The right choice depends on whether you need write access, a hosted (remote) endpoint, or a server that runs locally without an API key.

How do I install a PDF MCP server in Claude, Cursor or VS Code?

Open the server's page on HookMCP, choose your client tab (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code) and copy the config — 5 of the 6 servers here have one-click install links for Cursor and VS Code. Restart your AI app and the new tools appear automatically.

Do PDF MCP servers need an API key?

3 of 6 servers here mention API keys or tokens in their README; 3 don't mention any. Check each listing's Details panel, and pass keys as environment variables rather than pasting them into chat.
