Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

pdf

pdf_fill

Fill AcroForm form fields in a PDF and return the result. Field names must exist in the PDF (use pdf_inspect first). All values are strings; checkboxes take "true"/"false"; dropdown/radio/optionlist values must be one of the field's options; text values must respect the field's maxLength from pdf_inspect. The source PDF is never modified. Returns the filled PDF inline as an application/pdf resource. Encrypted PDFs are rejected with decrypt advice (common for government blanks with an empty user password).

pdf_inspect

List a PDF's AcroForm form fields — names, types, options, current values, per-field maxLength where declared — plus a paste-ready fillTemplate object for pdf_fill and a hasXFA flag (hybrid AcroForm/XFA inputs lose their XFA layer when filled). A PDF with no fillable form returns count 0. Read-only: the PDF is fetched but never modified. Call this FIRST when filling an unfamiliar PDF, since pdf_fill rejects unknown field names and over-length values.

pdf_invoice

Generate a complete, professionally laid-out invoice PDF from structured data — no template needed. Deterministic: the same input produces byte-identical output (safe to re-run). Note: without a paid PDFops key the output carries a small "Generated with pdfops.dev" footer line. Returns the invoice inline as an application/pdf resource. Use this when you have invoice DATA and no document; if you already have an invoice PDF or a fillable template to populate, use pdf_fill instead.

pdf_merge

Merge two or more PDFs into one, in the order given, and return the result. Sources are read only and never modified. Returns the merged PDF inline as an application/pdf resource. This tool only concatenates whole documents: it does not reorder, rotate or delete pages within them, and it does not fill forms — use pdf_fill for a fillable form and pdf_invoice to build a document from data. An unreadable or rejected input fails with an error, so a partial merge is never returned.

pdfops

pdfops_usage

Check the current PDFops API quota for the configured key: tier, limit, used, remaining, the billing period, and the reset timestamp. Read-only and safe to call before a batch to confirm there is headroom. Uses the API key this connection authenticated with.

Pdfops MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Pdfops MCP do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: pdf_fill, pdf_inspect, pdf_invoice, pdf_merge, pdfops_usage. 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 Pdfops MCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 73 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Pdfops MCP as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Pdfops MCP?

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 Pdfops MCP need an API key?

No. Pdfops MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How many people use Pdfops MCP?

The npm package pdfops-mcp was installed 123 times in the last week. Week over week that is +18%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Pdfops MCP open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at pdfops.dev, which runs on its operator's own terms.
