mcp_pdf_reader

# MCP Enabled PDF Reader Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposes a tool called read_pdf to read a single pdf document. This has been tested on Claude Desktop and LibreChat with Ollama. There is no maximum size to the pdf file that can be read in; the number of tokens will be the limiting factor. ## Installation ### Prerequisites #### Windows 1.
