Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "pdf-tools": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "PATH_TO\\mcp-pdf-tools",
                "run",
                "pdf-tools"
            ],
            "env": {
                "PDF_TOOLS_ALLOWED_DIRS": "PATH_TO\\shared\\pdfs"
            }
        }
    }
}

PDF_TOOLS_ALLOWED_DIRS is an optional path list (use your OS path separator) that restricts file access for all tools. If not set, the server limits access to its current working directory.

Write tools (merge-pdfs, extract-pages, merge-pdfs-ordered) refuse to overwrite an existing output file unless overwrite: true is provided.
