pdf

pdf_extract_text

Reads a PDF from its public https address and returns its text, page by page (parse / read a PDF: invoices, papers, reports, contracts, forms…). Up to 10 MB; use start to read further. Use when: you need the text content of a PDF file. Not for scanned PDFs (images only): those need OCR. Example: {"url":"https://pdf.faceabot.com/sample.pdf"}

pdf_info

Number of pages, title, author, creation date and whether the PDF has extractable text. Use when: you want to know what a PDF is before reading it. Example: {"url":"https://pdf.faceabot.com/sample.pdf"}

What can Faceabot PDF text extractor do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: pdf_extract_text, pdf_info. 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 Faceabot PDF text extractor working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 202 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Faceabot PDF text extractor?

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 Faceabot PDF text extractor need an API key?

No. Faceabot PDF text extractor completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Faceabot PDF text extractor?

It answers our handshake in 202 ms on average, which is faster than 78% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
