```

如果 `uv add` 遇到依赖冲突，建议使用：

```bash
uvx tool install pdf-tools-mcp
```

#### 从源码安装

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/pdf-tools-mcp.git
cd pdf-tools-mcp
uv sync
```

### 使用方法

#### 与 Claude Desktop 集成

添加到你的 `~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (Linux/Windows) 或 `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS):

**开发/未发布版本配置**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdf-tools-mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "<path/to/the/repo>/pdf-tools-mcp",
        "run",
        "pdf-tools-mcp",
        "--workspace_path",
        "</your/workspace/directory>",
        "--tempfile_dir",
        "</your/temp/directory>"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

**已发布版本配置**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdf-tools-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "pdf-tools-mcp",
        "--workspace_path",
        "</your/workspace/directory>",
        "--tempfile_dir",
        "</your/temp/directory>"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

**注意**: 出于安全考虑，此工具只能访问指定工作目录(`--workspace_path`)内的文件，无法访问工作目录之外的文件。

如果配置后无法正常工作或在UI中无法显示，请通过 `uv cache clean` 清除缓存。

#### 作为命令行工具

```bash
# 基本使用
pdf-tools-mcp

# 指定工作目录和临时文件目录
pdf-tools-mcp --workspace_path /path/to/workspace --tempfile_dir /path/to/temp
```

#### 作为 Python 包

```python
from pdf_tools_mcp import read_pdf_pages, get_pdf_info, merge_pdfs, extract_pdf_pages

# 读取 PDF 页面（支持 URL）
result = await read_pdf_pages("https://example.com/document.pdf", 1, 5)

# 获取 PDF 信息（支持 URL）
info = await get_pdf_info("document.pdf")

# 合并 PDF 文件（支持 URL 和本地文件混合）
result = awa…
