jztan / pdf-mcp
Agentic RAG over one PDF or a whole folder, with page-level evidence to check every answer: hybrid search, selective page reads, tables, OCR, charts, and CJK layouts.
Why this job: name: mcp; topics: mcp-server, model-context-protocol, mcp
What it does
The agent decides when to search; pdf-mcp does the retrieval and hands back excerpts, each with the page it came from. When the extracted text might be wrong, the agent can render that page and check it against what's actually printed. Hidden text, including injected instructions, is flagged, not silently passed on. It's an MCP server that lets Claude Code and other AI agents search one PDF or a whole folder, read only the pages that matter, and pull out tables, images, and scanned text, even from multi-column and Japanese layouts.
