PDF.co
Official PDF.co MCP server: convert, merge, split, OCR, search and fill PDFs through the PDF.co API
What it does
PDF.co is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is installed locally as a package and runs on your machine.
From the publisher's description, Electra Index matched it to 2 capabilities: data extraction and document understanding. That makes it a candidate for tasks such as extract data from PDFs or clean and merge spreadsheets.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence) and are not a test of the tool.
