This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add techtenstein-pdf -- uvx techtenstein-pdf-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "techtenstein-pdf": {
      "args": [
        "techtenstein-pdf-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

command = "uvx"
args = ["techtenstein-pdf-mcp"]

  "mcpServers": {
    "techtenstein-pdf": {
      "args": [
        "techtenstein-pdf-mcp"

    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: TECHTENSTEIN_API_KEY (API key from https://apis.techtenstein.com (free tier: 50 extractions/day)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Techtenstein PDF — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Techtenstein PDF?
Techtenstein PDF 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 pypi package techtenstein-pdf-mcp was installed 59 times last week.
How do I connect Techtenstein PDF?
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 techtenstein-pdf-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Techtenstein PDF?
The pypi package techtenstein-pdf-mcp was installed 59 times in the last week. Week over week that is -22%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Techtenstein PDF open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
