Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check PodPDF every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PODPDF_API_KEY (API key from https://app.podpdf.com (Settings → API Keys)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

PodPDF — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for PodPDF?

PodPDF runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package podpdf-mcp was installed 135 times last week.

How do I connect PodPDF?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls podpdf-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use PodPDF?

The npm package podpdf-mcp was installed 135 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
