It allows LLMs to \"see\" PDF pages as images and retrieve arXiv paper sources.\n\n## Features\n\n- **`get_pdf_metadata`** — Get basic PDF information (page count, page size)\n- **`inspect_pdf_visually`** — Render PDF pages as inline image items; payloads are base64-encoded JPEGs for visual inspection\n- **`save_pdf_pages_locally`** — Render PDF pages into `.mcp-pdf-vision/` inside the caller workspace and return the saved image paths\n- **`download_arxiv_source`** — Download and extract arXiv paper TeX source by URL or ID\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- Python >= 3.10\n- [Poppler](https://poppler.freedesktop.org/) (required by `pdf2image`)\n\n```bash\n# macOS\nbrew install poppler\n\n# Ubuntu / Debian\nsudo apt-get install poppler-utils\n\n# Windows (via conda)\nconda install -c conda-forge poppler\n```\n\n## Installation\n\n```bash\n# Using uv (recommended)\nuv pip install mcp-pdf-vision\n\n# Using pip\npip install mcp-pdf-vision\n```\n\n## Release\n\n### Local publish\n\n```bash\n# Bump version in pyproject.toml first\nrm -rf dist build *.egg-info\npython -m pip install -U build twine\npython -m build\ntwine check dist/*\ntwine upload dist/*\n```\n\n### GitHub Actions publish\n\nThis repository includes `.github/workflows/publish.yml` for PyPI Trusted Publishing.\n\n1. In PyPI, add this GitHub repository as a trusted publisher for `mcp-pdf-vision`.\n2. Bump `version` in `pyproject.toml`.\n3. Push a tag like `v0.1.1`.\n4. GitHub Actions will build and publish the package automatically.\n\n## Usage\n\n### Claude Desktop\n\nAdd to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"pdf-vision\": {\n      \"command\": \"uv\",\n      \"args\": [\"run\", \"--directory\", \"/path/to/pdf-vision\", \"mcp-pdf-vision\"]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### MCP Inspector (for testing)\n\n```bash\nnpx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-pdf-vision\n```\n\n### Direct execution\n\n```bash\nuv run mcp-pdf-vision\n```\n\n> **Note:** The server uses stdio trans…","publisher":{"name":"Master-cai","url":null},"homepage":"https://github.com/Master-cai/pdf-vision","repository":"https://github.com/Master-cai/pdf-vision","version":"0.1.3","license":null,"protocols":["mcp"],"tags":["arxiv","inspection","mcp","pdf","vision"],"pricing":null,"endpoints":[{"url":"pypi:mcp-pdf-vision","type":"package_pypi","auth":null,"probeable":false}],"skills":null,"tools":null,"extra":null,"attribution":{"kind":"pypi","name":"pypi","repoUrl":"pypi","summary":"pypi","version":"pypi","description":"pypi","homepageUrl":"pypi","publisherName":"pypi"}},"derived":{"capabilities":[{"slug":"media.image-understanding","name":"Image Understanding","confidence":1,"provenance":"declared"},{"slug":"research.academic","name":"Academic Research","confidence":1,"provenance":"declared"},{"slug":"dev.version-control","name":"Version Control","confidence":0.825,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"dev.package-management","name":"Packages & Dependencies","confidence":0.768,"provenance":"derived"}],"categories":["dev","media","research"],"language":"en"},"observed":{"status":"unknown","statusReason":"Distributed as a package to run locally; no network endpoint to check.","lastOkAt":null,"lastProbedAt":null,"statusComputedAt":null,"reliability30d":null,"latestObservations":[],"tools":null,"package":{"name":"mcp-pdf-vision","registry":"pypi","observedAt":"2026-10-22T10:32:15.372Z","publishedAt":"2026-03-18T08:13:10.665698Z","latestVersion":"0.1.3"},"toolSurface":null,"endpointFacts":[]},"verification":{"claimed":false,"claimedAt":null,"proofs":[]},"provenance":{"sources":[{"source":"pypi","key":"mcp-pdf-vision","url":"https://pypi.org/project/mcp-pdf-vision/","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T02:24:42.097Z","fetchedAt":"2026-10-22T10:30:44.053Z","normalizedAt":"2026-10-22T10:30:44.053Z"}]},"firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T02:24:42.097Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-22T10:32:15.372Z"}
