PDF Agent by Nova (CIVAI) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PDF Agent by Nova (CIVAI) do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: converse, delete_preview, generate_pdf, get_preview, list_previews, preview_document. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is PDF Agent by Nova (CIVAI) working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 91 checks got a reply (97.8%), average response time 575 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did PDF Agent by Nova (CIVAI) ever remove tools?
Yes. pdf_generator__converse, pdf_generator__delete_preview, pdf_generator__generate_pdf, pdf_generator__get_preview and 2 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect PDF Agent by Nova (CIVAI)?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does PDF Agent by Nova (CIVAI) need an API key?
No. PDF Agent by Nova (CIVAI) completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is PDF Agent by Nova (CIVAI)?
It answers our handshake in 575 ms on average, which is faster than 19% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
