Boxpdf
Give your agent in-context boxpdf TypeScript PDF layout docs and templates while implementing invoices, reports, or printable exports.
Overview
boxpdf MCP is a build-phase MCP server that exposes boxpdf TypeScript PDF layout documentation and templates as agent-readable resources.
What is this MCP server?
- Resource-only MCP server—docs and templates for the boxpdf library, not arbitrary PDF editing tools
- npm package boxpdf with positional mcp argument for stdio transport (v1.0.3)
- Pairs with the boxpdf TypeScript box-layout PDF API
- Official site and GitHub repository for earonesty/boxpdf
- Suited to agent-assisted implementation of structured PDFs (tables, boxes, pagination patterns)
- Registry server version 1.0.3
- 1 npm stdio package with mcp positional launch argument
- Resource-only server (docs and templates), not a general PDF tool suite
Community signal: 12 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Agents guess PDF layout APIs and page models when library docs are not in the MCP context window.
Who is it for?
Developers generating structured PDFs in TypeScript apps who want library docs wired into Claude Code or Cursor.
Skip if: One-click PDF design, OCR, or non-boxpdf stacks—this server only covers the boxpdf resource set.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you add the npm stdio server, your agent can cite boxpdf docs and templates while writing correct layout and export code.
- In-session boxpdf documentation and templates for the agent
- Stdio MCP wiring via npm boxpdf mcp
- Faster implementation of box-based PDF features with fewer API mistakes
