Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Make any PDF form fillable, fill it from data or documents, read it back, and fax the result.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • list_forms

    Forms in the user's Emboss library. state: ready (default), processing, failed, or all. Paginate with cursor.

    Fill a PDF form from structured data such as JSON or key-value answers. Fill a ready form with values keyed by field id or field label. Checkboxes take yes or no; choice fields need one of their options. To lock the filled PDF, call flatten_pdf with its artifact_id; fill_form its

  • fill_form_from_context

    Fill a PDF form using facts found in supporting documents. Emboss reads the answers out of context_text and/or context_urls (public https links to PDFs, Word, spreadsheets, images, or text) and fills the form. Give form_id for a form already in the library, or pdf_url/pdf_base64

  • read_form

    Read the values out of a filled PDF form, labelled by field, with a completeness verdict when the form is known. Give the filled PDF (pdf_url: public https link, or pdf_base64) and, when you know it, form_id. Returns every form box in the file with its value and whether it is fil

  • send_fax

Common questions

Is Emboss safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.9.0) reached the registry 10 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Emboss

Turn flat PDFs into fillable forms, fill them, and fax them, right from Claude.

What it does

Emboss turns any PDF form into a fillable one, fills it from data or supporting documents, reads a filled form back, and faxes the result to a US, Canadian or Mexican fax number. Everything runs through the Emboss API, so results depend on what you send it and how the source document is structured.

Install in Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add GetEmboss-ai/emboss-claude-plugin

/plugin install emboss@getemboss

Then run /mcp and sign in to Emboss to connect your account.

Install in Claude.ai and Claude Desktop

Claude.ai and Claude Desktop connect to Emboss through the custom connector button rather than the plugin marketplace. See https://getemboss.ai/docs/claude for the setup steps. To give Claude the Emboss skill directly, download emboss-skill.zip and upload it as a skill.

Pricing

The first 5 form creations, 5 context fills, 5 standard fills, 5 checks, 5 read-backs and 5 packages each month are free; a job is free when it is 5 pages or fewer (a fill from documents counts the form and its documents together), and a longer job is charged without using a free one. See /pricing for full details.

Privacy

Only what you ask Claude to send to Emboss is sent. Once connected, Claude can see every form in your Emboss account and acts on them when you ask. See https://getemboss.ai/privacy for the full privacy policy.
