Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Image & Scanned PDF to Text (OCR)?

How do I connect Image & Scanned PDF to Text (OCR)?

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.
