ExactPDF
Merge, split, rotate, compress, and extract PDF text or Markdown from your agent via ExactPDF’s MCP npm package.
Overview
com.exactpdf/mcp is an MCP server for the Build phase that exposes ExactPDF operations—merge, split, rotate, compress, images, metadata, text, and Markdown—to agents over stdio.
What is this MCP server?
- npm package @exactpdf/mcp version 0.2.3 with stdio transport
- Operations: merge, split, rotate, compress, images, metadata, text, and Markdown
- Agent-facing API documented at exactpdf.com/docs/api
- Local stdio MCP—fits offline or CI-adjacent document batches
- Reduces bespoke PDF shell scripts inside Claude Code or Cursor tasks
- Transport: stdio
- Documented API: exactpdf.com/docs/api
What problem does it solve?
Agents and indie backends keep reimplementing PDF glue with broken CLI chains whenever a feature needs split, merge, or text extraction.
Who is it for?
Solo builders automating PDF chores inside Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex during product and docs integrations.
Skip if: Enterprise redaction, e-sign workflows, or teams that require on-prem PDF engines with no ExactPDF dependency.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent calls one MCP surface to produce transformed PDFs and extracted text or Markdown ready for storage or downstream code.
- Transformed PDF files (merged, split, rotated, or compressed)
- Extracted plain text or Markdown suitable for search or templating

Journey fit
Build is where you wire document automation into apps, internal tools, and agent pipelines—not where you run production incident response. Integrations reflects an agent-facing PDF API you add to codegen and back-office flows rather than a one-off manual edit.
How it compares
Document manipulation MCP via ExactPDF—not a browser automation or generic file-storage skill.
