Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdf4vllm": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "pdf4vllm-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add pdf4vllm -- uvx pdf4vllm-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdf4vllm": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "pdf4vllm-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

Common questions

Is Pdf4vllm safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.2) reached the registry 11 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

pdf4vllm

PDF reading MCP server optimized for vision LLMs.

한국어

문제

방식	문제점
텍스트 추출	인코딩 깨짐 → 쓰레기 출력, 이미지-텍스트 순서 뒤섞임
이미지 변환	토큰 폭발 (특히 페이지 많을 때)

해결

pdf4vllm은 PDF가 지저분하다고 가정합니다.

텍스트 손상 자동 감지 → 이미지로 자동 전환
읽기 순서 보존 (텍스트 → 표 → 이미지 블록 순서대로)
페이지 제한으로 컨텍스트 오버플로우 방지
불필요한 이미지 자동 필터링 (로고, 선, 헤더/푸터)

설치

pip install pdf4vllm-mcp

또는

uvx pdf4vllm-mcp

Claude Desktop 설정

git clone https://github.com/PyJudge/pdf4vllm-mcp.git

cd pdf4vllm-mcp python scripts/install_mcp.py

또는 직접 설정 (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

"mcpServers": { "pdf4vllm": { "command": "/python/경로", "args": ["/pdf4vllm-mcp/경로/src/server.py"] } } }

도구

도구	설명
`list_pdfs`	PDF 파일 찾기 (glob 패턴 `name_pattern` 지원)
`read_pdf`	PDF 내용 블록으로 추출
`grep_pdf`	PDF 내 텍스트 검색 (`pdfgrep` 설치 필요)

추출 모드

모드	설명
`auto` (기본)	텍스트 추출 시도 → 손상 감지 시 이미지로 전환
`text_only`	텍스트/표만 추출, 이미지 없음
`image_only`	페이지를 이미지로만 렌더링

Problem

Approach	Issue
Text extraction	Encoding corruption → garbage output, mixed text-image ordering
Image conversion	Token explosion (especially with many pages)

Solution

pdf4vllm assumes PDFs are messy.

Auto-detects text corruption → switches to image automatically
Preserves reading order (text → table → image blocks in sequence)
Page limits prevent context overflow
Filters unnecessary images (logos, lines, headers/footers)

PDF Input

↓ Corruption Detection (pdfminer.six + pattern analysis) ↓ ┌─────────────┬─────────────┐ │ Corrupted │ Clean │ │ → Image │ → Text + │ │ only │ Tables + │ │ │ Images │ └─────────────┴─────────────┘ ↓ Ordered Blocks (JSON)

Install

pip install pdf4vllm-mcp

or run without installing

uvx pdf4vllm-mcp

Claude Desktop Setup

git clone https://github.com/PyJudge/pdf4vllm-mcp.git

cd pdf4vllm-mcp python scripts/install_mcp.py

Or manually edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "pdf4vllm": { "command": "/path/to/python", "args": ["/path/to/pdf4vllm-mcp/src/server.py"] } } }

Claude Code Setup

Create .mcp.json in your project:

"mcpServers": { "pdf4vllm": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["pdf4vllm-mcp"] } } }

Tools

Tool	Description
`list_pdfs`	Find PDF files with glob filtering (`name_pattern`)
`read_pdf`	Extract PDF content as ordered blocks
`grep_pdf`	Search text in PDFs using pdfgrep (requires `pdfgrep` installed)

Extraction Modes

Mode	Description
`auto` (default)	Try text extraction → switch to image if corrupted
`text_only`	Text/tables only, no images
`image_only`	Render pages as images only

Output Format

"pages": [ { "page_number": 1, "content_blocks": [ {"type": "text", "content": "..."}, {"type": "table", "content": "| A | B |"}, {"type": "image", "content": "[IMAGE_0]"} ] } ] }

When text is corrupted:

"page_number": 2, "content_blocks": [], "text_corrupted": true, "page_image": "[IMAGE_1]" }

Configuration

config.json or environment variables:

"max_pages_per_request": 10, "max_image_dimension": 842, "page_image_dpi": 100 }

export PDF_MAX_PAGES=20

export PDF_PAGE_IMAGE_DPI=150
