# FynePDF MCP server

Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants real PDF tools - compress, convert, redact, OCR, create and more - through one remote MCP server.

FynePDF is a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). Add it to an assistant once, sign in with your FynePDF account, and the assistant can work on PDFs itself: "compress this to under 5 MB", "redact every phone number", "turn these invoices into a spreadsheet".

## Connect it

| Assistant | How |
|---|---|
| [Claude](https://fynepdf.com/developers/docs/mcp/claude) | Add a custom connector with the URL above |
| [ChatGPT](https://fynepdf.com/developers/docs/mcp/chatgpt) | Developer mode, then create an app with the URL above |
| [Cursor](https://fynepdf.com/developers/docs/mcp/cursor) | [Add to Cursor](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=fynepdf&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS5meW5lcGRmLmNvbS9tY3AifQ==) |
| [VS Code](https://fynepdf.com/developers/docs/mcp/vscode) | [Add to VS Code](vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22fynepdf%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fapi.fynepdf.com%2Fmcp%22%7D) |
| [Claude Code](https://fynepdf.com/developers/docs/mcp/claude-code) | `claude mcp add --transport http fynepdf https://api.fynepdf.com/mcp` |

Any other client that speaks remote MCP works the same way: give it the URL, and it signs in with OAuth when a tool first needs your account.

## What it can do

25 tools, each named for what it does, so an assistant picks the right one:

- **Files:** `upload_file`, `import_file_from_url`, `get_file`, `list_files`, `list_library_files`, `save_to_library`
- **Pages:** `merge_pdfs`, `split_pdf`, `edit_pages`, `stamp_pdf`
- **Smaller and safer:** `compress_pdf`, `protect_pdf`, `redact_pdf`
- **Convert:** `convert_from_pdf`, `convert_to_pdf`, `ocr_pdf`
- **Create and sign:** `create_pdf`, `sign_pdf`
- **AI:** `ask_pdf`, `summarize_pdf`, `extract_data`, `smart_edit`
- **Help:** `get_job`, `search_docs`, `list_actions`

Each has its own page under [MCP tools](https://fynepdf.com/developers/docs/mcp/tools/compress_pdf) in the menu.

## Signing in, and who pays

The first time a tool needs your account, the assistant opens fynepdf.com to sign in, then asks you to allow it. After that:

- Work counts against **your fynepdf.com plan**, the same as on the website: a job is one of your daily tasks, and AI reads use your AI allowance. No API key or credits needed.
- `search_docs` and `list_actions` work before you sign in.
- Disconnect any time in [Developers, Assistants](https://fynepdf.com/developers/dashboard?section=assistants); it stops working at once.

Running your own agent instead? Send an [API key](https://fynepdf.com/developers/docs/authentication) as the bearer token; it spends credits like the API.

## Getting files in

- **Claude and ChatGPT** show a drop zone in the chat, or upload a file you attached.
- **ChatGPT** can also hand over files from the conversation directly.
- **Any client:** a public link (`import_file_from_url`) or a file from your FynePDF Library.
- **Files on your computer:** run the [local server](https://fynepdf.com/developers/docs/mcp/local) with `npx @fynepdf/mcp`; it adds `upload_local_file` and `download_file`.

Results come back as a download link and, in Claude and ChatGPT, a card in the chat with a preview, Download and Save to Library. Files are deleted after 24 hours unless you save them.
