# PDF Extraction MCP Server (Claude Code Fork) MCP server to extract contents from PDF files, with fixes for Claude Code CLI installation. This fork includes critical fixes for installing and running the server with Claude Code (the CLI version). ## What's Different in This Fork 1. **Added `__main__.py`** - Enables the package to be run as a module with `python -m pdf_extraction` 2. **Claude Code specific instructions** - Clear installation steps that work with Claude Code CLI 3. **Tested installation process** - Verified working with `claude mcp add` command ## Components ### Tools The server implements one tool: - **extract-pdf-contents**: Extract contents from a local PDF file - Takes `pdf_path` as a required string argument (local file path) - Takes `pages` as an optional string argument (comma-separated page numbers, supports negative indexing like `-1` for last page) - Supports both PDF text extraction and OCR for scanned documents ## Installation for Claude Code CLI ### Prerequisites - Python 3.11 or higher - pip or conda - Claude Code CLI installed (`claude` command) ### Step 1: Clone and Install ```bash # Clone this fork git clone https://github.com/lh/mcp-pdf-extraction-server.git cd mcp-pdf-extraction-server # Install in development mode pip install -e . ``` ### Step 2: Find the Installed Command ```bash # Check where pdf-extraction was installed which pdf-extraction # Example output: /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/bin/pdf-extraction ``` ### Step 3: Add to Claude Code ```bash # Add the server using the full path from above claude mcp add pdf-extraction /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/bin/pdf-extraction # Verify it was added claude mcp list ``` ### Step 4: Use in Claude ```bash # Start a new Claude session claude # In Claude, type: /mcp # You should see: # MCP Server Status # • pdf-extraction: connected ``` ## Usage Example Once connected, you can ask Claude to extract PDF contents: ``` "Can you extract the cont…
