Nothing serious here today

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

Available tools 15

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

pdf
pdf_count
Page count per file plus the total, for any number of PDFs, with how many were readable. A file that cannot be read is reported on its own row and the others still count. Read-only. Free and unlimited.
pdf_delete_upload
Delete one PDF stored for your token, uploaded or generated.
pdf_files
List the PDFs stored for your token: what you uploaded, and what this server has written, with their sizes.
pdf_info
Call this tool to inspect a PDF: page count, page sizes in points/mm, paper name, metadata (title, author, producer, dates) and whether it is encrypted. Read-only, never modifies the file. Free tier: unlimited.
pdf_merge
Call this tool to join several PDFs into one, in the order given. Page sizes are kept as-is, so a merged file may have mixed sizes, and the answer says so. Inputs are never modified. Free tier: up to 5 files per merge.
pdf_pages
Call this tool to pull selected pages into one new PDF, in the order written: "2,4-6" gives four pages. Asking for a page twice copies it twice. The input is never modified. Free tier: files up to 30 pages.
pdf_reorder
Call this tool to write a new PDF with pages in the order you give. The order must name every page exactly once, so nothing drops by accident; use pdf_pages for a subset. Pro.
pdf_rotate
Call this tool to turn pages by a multiple of 90 degrees, clockwise for positive. Rotation is added to whatever the page already had, for a sideways scan. Writes a new file. Free tier: files up to 30 pages.
pdf_split
Call this tool to write one new PDF per range. Ranges are 1-based and may be open-ended: "1-3,5,7-" gives pages 1-3, page 5, and 7 to the end. The input is never modified. Free tier: files up to 30 pages.
pdf_stamp
Call this tool to draw a word such as PAID or DRAFT across the pages, in a colour and position you choose. Writes a new file; input untouched. Free tier: the PAID and DRAFT presets in their preset colours.
pdf_text
Call this tool for best-effort text extraction from standard-font PDFs. Returns nothing for a scan (no OCR), or glyph indices for a custom-encoded font, and says which case applies. Read-only. Free tier: unlimited.
pdf_upload
Send a PDF to this hosted endpoint. There is no filesystem here, so instead of a path you upload the file once with pdf_upload and then pass its name as `path` (or inside `paths`) to pdf_info, pdf_count, pdf_merge, pdf_split, pdf_pages, pdf_rotate, pdf_stamp, pdf_reorder and pdf_text. Give exactly one of pdf_base64 or url. url: fetch a public file instead of pasting base64 (recommended above about 10 KB): pasting a large base64 payload is slow to write out and can stall the turn before the call is ever sent, while a url costs one line and the fetch happens here. Uploads are kept for your token between calls; pdf_files lists them and pdf_delete_upload removes one. A file this server writes is named the same way and comes back as a download link valid for one hour. The request body cap is 256 KB, which is about 190 KB of PDF once base64-encoded; a url is fetched with a 10 second timeout, at most 3 redirects, public http(s) hosts only, and is capped at 2 MB.
pdf_watermark_business
Call this tool to put your business name and VAT id in the footer of every page, from the shared profile mcp-invoice and mcp-docx write. Use it before sending a document out. Pro.
license
license_activate
Turn Pro on for this connection with key, an MCPL1.<payload>.<signature> issued at checkout for this server or the bundle. Data under your token stays; a wrong or expired key changes nothing. license_status confirms it.
license_status
Report this endpoint's licence state for your token as JSON: the product, the tier free or pro, why it is not Pro, and the checkout URL. Call it to explain a free-tier refusal. No arguments, nothing changes.

PDF Split Merge Compress — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PDF Split Merge Compress do?
It exposes 15 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: license_activate, license_status, pdf_count, pdf_delete_upload, pdf_files, pdf_info and 9 more. 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 →
What is PDF Split Merge Compress mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around pdf and license. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is PDF Split Merge Compress 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 116 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect PDF Split Merge Compress?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does PDF Split Merge Compress need an API key?
No. PDF Split Merge Compress completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 15 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is PDF Split Merge Compress?
It answers our handshake in 116 ms on average, which is faster than 79% 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.
Is PDF Split Merge Compress open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
